Land Mines & Casualty Care: Finnish Brutality 2023 Day 1 (ad-free)
🕑 Added 2023-09-01 12:00:10 +0000 UTCIt's time for Finnish Brutality 2023! This year the match is back and better than ever, with a new "Breacher" division for those seeking extra punishment. In addition to wearing armor and kit (minimum 12kg/26lb), Breacher includes a 3-10 minute physical challenge after each stage just to spice things up.
I opted to run the match this year with my left-handed G3 with an ACOG and a SIG M18 with the new Romeo M17 red dot. Full videos on both are coming once my guns get back from Finland (courtesy of Polaris Logistics), but the short version is that they both ran very well and gave me no significant problems.
Finnish Brutality is run by Varusteleka, Europe's premier military and outdoor gear company - which also has great inexpensive shipping to the US. If you need gear that's tough enough for the Finnish winter, look no further than:

I would like to know how much your gear weight was on the push up phase. Looked like about 40 lbs or more. You are having entirely too much fun.

you had mags clamped together? ok.. . hey come on. haven't you done a bit krav maga? torture push ups just think of facing multible attackers younger faster stronger better technique... go. cool stuff. that landmine stage was a good idea.

As always, excellent video recap. Really like seeing just what all you crazy Breacher people were up to. Definitely seemed like an improvement over last year's individual Recon efforts, looked like good camaraderie and excellent Group Suck. Type 2 Fun is always better with friends! I only caught a few glimpses of the Breacher evolutions between my Armored TST stages, where I noticed 2 things. One, looked better than running. Two, "Yeah, nope." Total agreement with you about the ACOG 3.5. Ran the same thing. Used 4X Optics in the military, the field-of-view Improvement of the 3.5 is very noticeable and significant. It's what I recommend to people when they ask me about a simple optic for a rifle.
