This video documents a multi-day tactical backpacking trip focused on the challenges of man-portable, self-contained systems, emphasizing the "lighten everything" philosophy. Participants, Sean and Jardine, gear up, discuss firearms, and haul heavy loads, including steel targets. The core of the content involves a strenuous hike to a remote location followed by shooting engagements with fully loaded packs. The primary firearm showcased is a S&W M&P10 in 7.62x51mm, with mention of other participants using smaller caliber rifles. The "actual" hiking and engagement portion of "Red Skies" is highlighted, aiming to reinforce the credibility of tactical concepts in a field environment.
This video tests the physical limits of preparedness by having individuals run a mile in full tactical gear. It emphasizes that personal fitness is a critical, often overlooked, component of a man-portable system, regardless of the quality of firearms and equipment one possesses. The hosts, including PFIDude and the uploader, undertake the challenge in a desert environment, acknowledging their own less-than-ideal fitness levels and poor timing of the attempt.
