Gear loadout pics and descriptions

[Jellybean]

That was the longest post I've ever read. LOL I do appreciate the various advice. I think some of what I said was over looked though. My gear is set up for 4 different weapons. My pistol, a 9mm SBR, a shotgun and my AR. Ideally not all at once. I'm not made of cash so my rig reflects maximizing what I can. It does allow me to readily configure for the different platforms. I just don't fill the unneeded mag pouches. The belt is finished now. There is a proper riggers belt, suspenders, and ITS IFAK, and a total of 4 pistol mags on my belt with 2 rifle. I like the dump pouch I have btw. I also added my survival kit which wasn't added in that picture. It contains my compass, fire, water, shelter etc. As far as taking a crap, with the suspenders on, it's just a matter of popping all three buckles and having a seat. LOL
I did add an older HSGI mag carrier drop leg. I have a decent 3 day pack and an Eberlestock Skycrane on order.

Believe it or not, I train with all that gear, either just the belt, chest rig or both. Usually with a partial ammo load. I've taken to using my Battle belt the most. I'm waiting on a new plate carrier that better fits my plates. I got an excellent deal on the XL plates and I don;t mind the extra coverage.

Thanks for the feedback.

I should have warned you to get a sandwich and a drink before starting.

Again, was just trying to be helpful with it, with some of my own opinions/outlook of gear over the last few years.
Unfortunately I'm used to dealing with people that know very little about gear, or setting up same, so I go a little "mind-dump" some times.
Especially when I see guys' with "all ammo" loadouts- usually that's a big red flag that they haven't thought things through completely- you know, like the doomsday prepper/ zombeeeeslayerrrrrr crowd....
So, my bad if you found any of that insulting.

I don't keep much on my belt line. Just a few mags and a pistol. The ares gear belt I've been using was definitely doing the job, I just hated having to thread the belt and holsters etc etc. I wanted a faster option that remained lightweight and slim. Went with the volund gear micro belt.

Derek, Volund makes some awesome belts. Great minds you know. My daily use belt is a Volund and I was able to put together the right combination of colors that it's pretty low vis in line at the grocery store or in patrol gear.

I need to take a few minutes to get a few pics. My ex took the camera, I kept the dog. But with my focus being enough med gear for a fire team and comms, my belt looks far less comfortable.

You guys running the D3CR's, what are you cramming into the GP pouches medial wise? I can't get much more than a 4" Izzy in mine which is why I'm looking for an alternative.

Do you find the TACO's (or other MOLLE-attached pouches) to be stable on that? I like the idea of a micro battle belt, but am not sure how much stability it sacrifices versus a full-size battle belt, like the HSGI SureGrip, which has 3 rows of standard size MOLLE webbing.

Digging the micro belt. Does anyone know if its to thick to run a safariland UBL adapter?

[Derek33]

The tacos are super snug. I attribute a lot to that tho the stiching of the belt. Very precise, sturdy, and the webbing is tight. They were a huuuuuuuuuge pain in the ass to get on there be it how tight they are.

I imagine you can get it through a UBL. Worst case I'd imagine a minor amount of dremel work will do the trick.

I'm interested in this as well. I was debating on getting the ATS Low Profile Medical Insert and putting that into the 'stuff-it' pouch. Has anyone found away to organize the GP pouches more then just stuffing everything in them.

Edit: Meant to quote the post about the D3CR.

Me too. I really like the support and flexibility it has. I'll check them out.

One of my guys just got one. Very very tight. Two strong guys made it happen. It looks a little bulged (the belt paddle) that is. This is a 6000 series duty style paddle.
