Inside a 160th SOAR Pilot’s Real EDC From Black Hawk Down

In this special EDC (Everyday Carry) segment, 160th SOAR Black Hawk pilot Mike Durant — a survivor of Black Hawk Down — breaks down exactly what he carried into combat. Durant walks Shawn through the real loadout of Tier 1 aviation missions, from the modified UH-60s with dual miniguns firing up to 4,000 rounds per minute, to his personal weapons like the MP5, M9 pistol, and the survival vest built for worst-case scenarios.

Durant explains why some gear worked, why some didn’t, and reveals the one piece of equipment he wished he had when his Black Hawk was shot down and he became a POW for 11 days. Shawn also surprises Mike with a gift: the SIG Sauer MCX Spear, the U.S. military’s newest 6.8 rifle.
