Believe it or not, MSM is on a lot of boards and even does manufacturer interviews at SHOT. I saw him filming Kyle Lamb demonstrating the VTAC sling one year. He is free advertising and airsofters spend money too. In case you didn't know, he is the guy that makes alot of these patches. I still wouldn't be relying on his tactical prowess.....hello J Mintzer....hint, hint.

I hear you. But in reality, at 52 years old, I'm not heading to the sand box any time soon. I use the gear for training and, God forbid, if the SHTF. If that ever happens, my guess is that it'll work just fine...

I started my battle belt tonight. Ordered a USGG Infidel and 2 combo mag pouches. I chose the infidel over the warthog because it sat lower in the rear. may be easier to layer a carrier on top of for me.

thanks again for all the input here.

A thread from the dead.

I sat down and read this entire thread over the weekend, and while bouncing around on line, I found this http://www.ctoms.ca/07/equipment/detail.php?product_id=11 belt. I'm hoping to get Kevp's thoughts on this

Thanks kev

First problem I see with it is... Its Canadian!
</inside joke>

If you want a belt like that that you add on to, I can show you something I use for my photo gear, very sim and can attach a harness to, made in USA and cheaper

I have a goofy Idea. Gear Gathering. Bring your gear. Everybody gets a chance to see different set ups and how to set themselves up correctly. Like pampered chef for gun people. Maybe get a Industrial Partner involved.

I'd be down for a gear petting zoo. I'd like to get an idea first hand what I need.

This is one of the better ideas I've heard lately. I'd be up for it.

i'd be down to bring in my tacticool gear for show and tell. its beat to hell and back.

mdjamesd · Jan 7, 2011

When and Where? It would be fantastic to be able to actually find out what a product is like before shelling out the dough.

Nanook · May 18, 2011

Aaaand back from the dead (again). What ever happened to a get-together?

Yoshi · May 18, 2011

Good idea! I have a ATS Tactical belt w/ a Safariland I can bring.

Threeband · May 18, 2011

We had talked about doing it in conjunction with the chili cook off......but that was when we were thinking about doing it at The Nut Haus. Now that we are in a more public venue it would still be possible but with many caveats (No training or airsoft guns would be warning number 1, don't want to freak out joe public.

AliasNeo07 · Mar 31, 2012

Just came across this writeup, after someone bumped it. Thanks for taking the time to do it it was very informative. Two noob questions:

1. I notice in some of your pics, and others, the belt seems to have massive padding(?) or something else that covers the bare belt. What is this?

2. This may sound like a dumb question, and probably is, but how do you don this belt? It would seem almost impossible to thread it through belt loops on any sort of pants, is it the type of thing that you just have all the gear hanging off of, and then throw it on your waste on top of whatever?

Thanks

There is the belt, and there is the battle belt.

The battle belt is the basic belt threaded though the padded unit.

The padded unit helps distribute the weight and has many points of attachment for equipment usually with standard molle webbing (I may be using the academic language wrong here).

Battle belts are meant to carry a lot of gear....pistol, magazines, carbine magazines, utility tools, first aid kit, etc.....and that weighs quite a bit. It goes over everything else and may include suspenders to help with the load.

HSGI Sure-grip belt....imo, a much stronger contender than many others mentioned in this thread. I'd spring for the Cobra-buckled inner riggers belt, as well...

I'm Using a Viking tactics bokoros belt with a cobra riggers belt inside. Taco mag pouches and a emmdom dump bag. Very simple, but works very well.
