Mags and an extra TQ. Comms if you have people to talk to, and then whatever isn't on your belt. But mags, tq, and comms are all I'd consider "essential" (I'm a fan of IFAK on the belt).
I'm using the D3CRM right now and it's holding (including the cumberbund since it's on a plate carrier and I'd use expansion wings if it wasn't) 4x 30rd AR mags, 2x 24rd glock mags, Baofeng BF-F8HP, IWA M14 smoke, TQ on a hanger, and Steiner AZ 8x30's for when it's playing with the RECCE rig. If I switched to the 300blk PDW, the binos would get replaced by 2x 20rd mags with subs/supers (whichever is the opposite of what I have in the 30rd mags for the task at hand). Keep it clean and simple. Mags are a given and TQ is because you have space so there's no reason not to, but if you don't need anything else don't feel a need to strap stuff on just to fill up empty pockets. |

Random stuff mostly for administrative/non-shooting purposes. Outside of magazines, of course.
Extra TQ, some 550 cord, some rolled up duct tape, a few bandaids, two AAs and two CR123s, a waterproof notebook, and a thin point sharpie. Pretty simple and light stuff that doesn't impede my ability to move or go prone. |

Small reading/nav light and a knife, and hydration on the back. And a carabiner. Also soft earplugs, I have those pretty much everywhere.
[edit:] plus mags of course. |

For 5.56, two BFG double mag pouches and a Tyr mesh bottle pouch (this is AZ, after all). For 7.62, four Ten Speed mag pouches. Everything else is on my belt.

I’ve got a Rhodesian, so I can put a plate in there if I want.
It’s also got a flat zipper pouch for map/protractor, 9Line cards (MEDEVAC, CAS, UXO/IED), OPSKED, other mission items, pens pencils markers. Frag elevator on the side holds 2 frags, IFAK, GP Pouch, 2x tourniquets, rifle mags (holds 6 across the front in a single row so I can go prone), VS17 panel, firefly in the admin pouch, spare batteries, signal mirror, fire starting material and bandaids, and a holder for my Garmin. No pistol mags, those go on my belt. My chest rig has an interior pouch sized for a 152. If I’m not in need of grenades, I’ll swap the grenade elevator out with an HSGI 1L water bottle taco. |

Don’t have a chest rig- tried split-front, FLC, panel-style, PC, high speed range belt, and still prefer the LC-2 rig.
9 or 6 Mags (depending 5.56 or .308) 2 canteens, cup and stove (for coffee) Knife Radio Compass Then stuff like TQ, Modular Bandage, boresnake, 550, headlamp, poncho (doubles as shelter), trail mix, socks all in the Buttpack. Edit: No pistol because I use an M7 shoulder holster with 2-mag pouch worn under the LBE. Easier that trying to cram that on the belt and keeps it out of the way. |

My chest rig only carries:
Mags IFAK Radio Compass All the other crap goes in an assault pack. I use a belt kit most of the time and only switch to a chest rig in the bowels of winter to allow me to use a big-assed ruck with a good hip belt. |

Very very close to the setup I'm working towards! still waiting on a couple of small parts for the large GP to keep the gun running, but you see the surefire echo fixed blade,4 HK G3K mags + 2 HK USP .45 mags. The small GP has a small surefire light and multitool, large GP has foam ear plugs, lighter, compass, spare CR123 batteries and 2 chem lights. |
