Here are older pics of one of mine.

Starting on left side, UW Gear double pistol mag pouch, USGI double rifle mag pouch, larger FAK for patrol team, USGI canteen with cup, canteen pouch used for minimal sustainment pouch, ESEE -3 mil, Blade Tech holster, and TQ.

I like having two TQs available with either hand. One on my BB and one on my CR or PC. The one on my PC is attached externally to the UW Gear BOK. The one on my CR is attached externally to a HSGI Bleeder Pouch.



Edited to add. Sorry for the sideways pics. Don't know why this happened as they aren't like that on my computer.

I don't really have a "war belt" per se... My belt is more of a suspender supported riggers belt that holds pistol and mag holders, real simple at this point (I need to take pictures) For my physique, I find suspender support more comfortable than a tight belt squeezed around my hips to keep everything somewhat in place with minimal bounce.... The suspender system lets my belt be looser so I can twist and turn in it as the ground in prone grabs my gear, etc...

The belt is still a work in progress for me... I have sewing mods in mind that I plan to try... But I don't think I want a heavy, pouch-laden belt... I want to keep that on my chest rig and back bag system....

I also don't like stuff strapped to my thigh... My pistol is secondary, so it is on my chest rig. I guess because I don't see myself as in a "war" or "battle," rather a bug out or patrol, which means more walking than fighting... Hopefully minimal fighting, and that being ambush or sniping if it happens. So I don't want straps and gear fighting my leg movement.

If I was wealthy enough to just buy whatever I saw might work, I am sure I would have my perfect system by now, but I buy selectively, and if that doesn't work, I modify what I have...

Love seeing pics... Gives me ideas...

Rmpl, I agree with the suspenders and you can see mine in the pics if you look. I think they allow me to carry the weight on my waist more comfortably. i have been doing a lot of reading, looking and trying my combo over the years. I like to keep my gear on my belt lower so when wearing my Molle II backpack the BB acts somewhat like a shelf the ruck sits on. The suspenders really come in handy then. Pretty much, at this time and trials, have settled on BB, Molle II ruck for longer patrols (2-4 days), and Molle Assault pack for shorter (1-2 days). When need both ruck and A-pack, the A-pack is strapped to the top back of the ruck. Not that this will need to be done often, but I have tried it and it works.

Sorry I was a bit to quick on the trigger. I have been playing with knives on the belt but just don't like them there. I carry a large emmerson folder in my pants pocket. I do have Morras in my bag and a K-BAR strapped to side of BOB/assault pack. Still playing around with it.

I have a more comprehensive FAK on the bag and one CAT in that. I know I need to add some to my belt and Plate carrier as well. Anyone know who has any in stock cheaply? Also have some EMT sheers that were being used to bandage the pooch (he had surgery a few weeks back) so not in picture.

A work in motion still. Im going to get a HSGI padded belt. The Condor Is "Ok" but to soft and bendy. It tends to roll out on the top. The HSGI will stop this. a good buddy has one and it's much stiffer. The condor will be relegated to back up status, and not pictured are my LC-1s which will go to spare/hand out status.

All the posts and pics gave me some ideas... Darn you all! Just ripped all my malice clips out (you know how hard that is to do?) and started over again...

The main idea that got this going and these posts confirmed it is a video on quick detachable backpacks I saw on YouTube. I really like that concept and plan on doing some sewing mods to add two Nexus female buckles on top of my TT harness. This will unharness what I have on back now, which is malice clip permanent, and make it quick detach, so I can swap out hydro bladder or backpack as the need dictates.

I was trying to be too "jack of all trades." Also took off my pistol and dual mag pouch from chest rig and will keep it on a "war belt" as many of you have shown here... This makes my front chest rig less bulky and less clutter and makes using my sling easier, as well as keeping both shoulders clear for transitions to either shoulder fast.

Trying to move things lighter and quick-detach modular...

Keep the pics coming.... I'm getting I-dee-ers (as Paul Sr. of that chopper show would say)
