GOT battle belt?

[The War Wagon]

I really ought to put together a battle belt. And suggestions on what should be on it?

No more than 3 AR mags (2, if a bigger caliber!) - no more than 3 pistol mags (4, if 1911) - and this is because of weight & movement considerations.

If you're GONNA go belt, add MORE mags to your chest rig/plate carrier.  Ditto for your IFAK.  The belt should be the "grab it first" items, so keep it simple & utilitarian.  "Little items," like knife & light, should go there.  "Radio/comms" should go on the chest rig.

I like my CAT 7's ON my rig - one on each side.  They're designed to be operated one handed, so if one arm is disabled, the good arm has one on its side!  I don't want to be groping around my waist for them, so I keep the chest rig streamlined.  3 more AR mags (in my case), radio, IFAK, & CAT 7's.

I stuffed the Israeli pressure bandage to my belt, because a) it DON'T fit in the IFAK, and b) I had a leftover rifle mag taco, and it fit perfectly!


p.s. - I changed out that old PentagonLight, for an old Insight HC120, that I HAD been running on a rifle.  I upgraded to InForce WML's on the rifles, so I moved the old Insight to my belt.
