Moving away from a plate carrier. As a civi I haven't a need for armor. A search didn't yield what I was looking for specifically.
I'm looking into chest rigs and battle belts. I'm using this strictly for my AR. 30 rd pmags is all I use.
My intended use is shooting, and a "grab and go" for a shtf, natural disaster type of situation.
I carry a standard loadout of 6 mags + 1 in the rifle. So I would like it all contained on this rig. Other items considered are an IFAK, dump pouch, plus a few other smaller pouches.
Hydration was a concern at first, but I do have a separate camel pack if need be.
I like this as a battle belt:

This coupled with a couple of their TACO mags, and maybe a flapped pouch for reserve. Then spread my gear about the rest of the belt. I like how the mag pouches would be down low and easier for me to grab during mag changes. Suspenders could be added for support.
If I were to jump on the chest rig band wagon I would go for one like this:

What I like about the BCM rig is the integration of a hydration system. And it seems like it'll hold all my stuff. Bad..... is the mags being kept up high? Better suited for a vehicle.
I'm a little stuck, my budget is around $150ish -$200. Mags and all. Hoping to attain all of this used to keep cost down.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
