Ordering all the material at once, and then working on it after work each day is how. Plus making a couple simple chest rigs as practice before hand. Things would go faster with a modern machine. I probably spent about 12 hours total on it tweaking things as I went and learning. I drew up plans for each part in photoshop as a general guide. Realistically, it's all simple sewing patterns. Just rectangles stitched together the right way. I still have enough M81 to make a chest rig, or more pouches. Just need to get some more velcro and webbing

Halp!
I use this belt for outdoor stuff, primarily when hog hunting, but it is damn uncomfortable in a vehicle, especially my f150. Almost seems if I have anything rear of 3 or 9 oclock it sucks. I did have the IFAK back at 6 but moved it to test out. Any advice? Just the way it is in vehicles?

Something like the IFAK at 6 or so to provide a bit of cushion on your back may help, but it also might suck because of the spacing between your back and seat. I have always worn armor in conjunction with a belt in some form so that helped in this regard. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By stoner01: Well, everything besides slick or not. Think of it as you need to list requirements for a new fire truck, and all you said was i want recommendations for a new fire truck. Yep. It sounds like you're looking for a do-it-all belt, which means it'll be less than ideal for most tasks. As an example, my direct action/door kicking belt is not my mounted belt. They have totally different uses. You don't want to ride in a car with a pile of stuff from 3-9 o'clock, and you'll want a drop-leg or none at all for a car. You'll want some way to carry sustainment or attach a bail-out bag. etc. Pic thread:  This is a direct action belt. Meant for short fights with easy resupply. |

A molle is easier to fit things on rather than fighting with one wrap and getting a padded belt underneath to stay on. Why you want me to post a picture of what I use when I can describe to you the differences, is weird to be honest. You're posting in a picture thread, my dude. It's not really about liking or disliking. It's about practicality, cost, and actual efficacy. So, let's break it down. 1. Practicality. Attaching a pouch or holster does not require molle in any circumstance. 2. Cost. Molle belts cost 2x more in most cases. 3. Efficacy. Attaching a pouch is actually more efficient with one wrap because you're not limited to the "slots" afforded you with molle. Further, using molle attachments will push your pouches further away from your body which is the opposite of the desired effect. I'm a bit confused about the padded belt comment. It doesn't make sense. You don't wear a padded belt under your gun belt. You wear an inner belt, which is usually female velcro. It goes inside your belt loops to afford you an easy on/off of your outer belt, which is the load-bearing system. Personally, I've never had to "fight with one wrap." In fact, trying to thread a molle belt is harder for most people than just cutting a few inches of wrap and placing the pouch exactly where you want it. I don't hate them, and I don't hate people who use them. Hell, my primary assault belt is a molle belt. I just don't use the molle. Pic thread Same belt circa 2021  |

I've even seen someone mentioning one wrap as a gimmick. Meaning everyone has an opinion. One thing I have learned is that boards with fellow gun enthusiasts usually means most are not new to this rodeo yet some are treated as if they are, and that if something works then it's not stupid or a gimmick in your case. Molle to some is a solution to a legit problem some may have, one wrap is not always the best solution for certain things, and I have yet to see everyone lock, step, and heel unison with the others whom are also not in step with the narrative order of things as far as gear goes. Anyway, I've already posted pictures in here before. I stay subscribed for new ideas and to see if any new tech has made it's way and if it's for me or not. The whole point of picture threads, not for narrative controlling. Molle still works for those having particular problems that only a molle could and has solved. I fail to see the gimmick of something another looks down upon just because they don't like it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Baq: I moved away from a fixed Med pouch on the back of the Belt and went to a fanny Pack that rides "above" the belt. That way it can easily be turned from the "dangler" position for vehicle and sitting to the 6o clock position for prone stuff. I have everything behind 3/9 o clock empty if the fanny pack is in the front. Best of both worlds imho. Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Baq: Originally Posted By RegularJoe58: Any advice?

Now I have a good reason to. |

It's on the back, a molle set up and a giant PITA to get on but not as much of a hassle that one wrap was with that belt and pad combination. |

Got my first belt after reading through this thread and hearing all the great reviews I went with the Esstac enhanced shooters 1.75
Just messing with it i am really impressed with how well thought out and put together it is. Hope to get it set up this weekend. |
