No rocket science. I got some stiffish webbing, added a quality fastex buckle, then added pouches to suit my needs.
- Small pouch for emergency equipment
- Large pouch for waterproof jacket
- Large pouch for torch, meat sack/strap, knife and a few other bits and pieces
- Drink bottle pouch which has a pocket on it which will hold 3 x OSM and some beef jerky (enough for a day hunt)
I also have an additional large pouch which will hold a light down jacket.
I used triglides to hold the pouches on either end in place (pouches sliding around is really annoying) and have a shoulder strap which takes the weight of the drink bottle, so the belt doesn't sag.
In the unlikely event that I actually shoot an animal, harvested meat goes in the meat sack which can be carried on my back.
It sounds more complicated than it is! The right side of the belt does not have pouches on it, so good for putting rifle sling on shoulder, and as I eluded to in my previous post, no more sweaty back!
