When you ladies go camping, woods walking, zombie hunting, etc..and you carry your ARs along...how do you carry spare mags? I finally got around to ordering the parts for my wife's AR (I promise to post a pic!) and haven't figured out what do do about her spare mags. We have a 340-acre farm that we like to camp on, and I KNOW she'll be carrying her AR from now on (to discourage coyotes, varmints, etc), so she needs SOME way to do so. I seriously doubt she will want a Blackhawk LBE setup like I've beenusing for the past 10-12 years, though. As always, your insights and experiences are appreciated, especially if pics are included!

Just one? Back pocket. For multiple, I have stackable AR/pistol mag pouches.

I live on a 320 acre ranch and I must say that if you have actually convinced someone to carry an AR around on the ranch then you are light years ahead of me.

I vote for the single mag in the back pocket. What in the heck would you run into that a standard 60 rounds wouldn't handle?

It makes me nervous how close we are to some serious crap down here, and how its about a 50/50 split of people that realize it, and people that are suffering from crani-rectal inversion about it. It amazes me that the problem of illegal immigration is having to be taken care of at the COUNTY and local level. Not state, not fed (where it should be).

i'm not sure if 25 % of the people in the southern half of the state truely know how bad it really is. We live on a ranch about 15 -20 miles from the Krentz's. we have the cartel coming through here pretty regular.

I am not a woman, but I would say that this:



MOLLE II bandoleer is a nice inexpensive option if she doesn't want to wear a vest.
