Small of the back is bad for most anything. To return the blade use two hands. One hand if your scabbard has a notch in it. You can ride the back of the blade in the notch, or using your free hand as a guide. When you feel the tip clear over the scabbard opening, then you sheath the blade. Quick to draw, slow to put away is how I've always been told to think about weapons (guns, blades, etc). |

I really like that monkey stomper pouch. Thanks. I consider it a warbelt. Don't run a chest rig. Only other thing that I put on is a US Palm Defender Molle, in ranger green. Plan on getting some poly plates for the defender. The monkey stomper pouch is awesome. Just very tight. I have to put the Glock mags in before the P-mags or they aren't going in. |

HSGI sure-grip, cobra riggers belt and taco just arrived from SKD. Great belt, but definitely a pain to work with.
Still not sure what to to do with the taco (extra mag, flashlight or multi tool). Hoping to do a training course this summer so I can see what I need to adjust (and to get a little dirty)

Not a "War Belt" as i am just a fat guy that does some Pistol/Carbine fun competitions...
HSGI Sure Grip W/ Duty belt HSGI Rifle/Pistol Taco's X's 3 (Yes, I know... Only two are on. At work setting it up and left the connectors for the third one at home. )
G Code 2" drop XST RTI Holster for Glock 17 (Holster needs to be repainted as I originally had it on a black rig and am painting it for this rig, I choose poorly) Stopped by HSGI last week and the folks there are a very good bunch. Busy, but still took the time to help me out and get me set up. If you have stuff ordered, i will say they are working hard to fill your order. ETA: Future plans are probably a drop pouch and a bleeder kit and I should be good. I like the gear because with the RTI system, I can swap my holster from Glock to 1911 in about 5 seconds and with the TACO's, everything can stay the same. |

Finally got around to take a decent picture of my rig. Its constantly evolving. I also have another pouch of tools and gun maintenance gear I swap out with the first aid pouch when I need to or put it in the center of the back.
Right now I have a separate Camelbak for water, but I'd like to get a MOLLE bladder carrier I can use. 
It consists of: Blackhawk web belt Condor padded war belt Condor H-harness Condor double kangaroo mag pouch Condor single kangaroo mag pouch Condor Tear Away first aid/EMT pouch Condor flashlight pouch with Surefire G2 Nitrolon (will be replaced with a Streamlight Polytac or better at some point) Maxpedition Roly Poly dump pouch SOG SEAL Pup knife Safariland 6004 holster Multitool |

Combines comfort and ease of access - best of both worlds |

Brad have you tried taking the back off and putting it back on by yourself? Just wondering how well it works. With a camelbak the straps are minimal compared to a backpack with padded straps. I understand why you would carry a pack that way but wouldn't it be hard to get to and don or doff.
BTW you got the same blood type as me so I know where to get some blood or extra parts.

How much water are you looking to carry? That is a really nice looking setup, but my point is, can you pull the bladder and refill it easily w/o removing your gear? This is why I like the stand alone Camelbak - you just whip it off, fill it and sling it back on. I doubt I will ever be on a two-way range where this is necessary, but it does create a tactical disadvantage - being 'caught with your pants down' so to speak with your vest off, and if it's a PC, you've just momentarily lost your protection. I do like that Joey hydration pouch, and can see where that would be better than a canteen in a situation where you are in and out of a vehicle a lot, something that a LEO or even a civilian in a SHTF situation must consider, ANOTHER reason to not have a permanently attached pack or bladder on your back. If TSHTF which are you more likely to be doing - walking or driving? You can throw a pack on once you dismount/abandon the vehicle, but it's hard to do the other way around. Also, if you are planning on going 'grey man' and keep a low profile, (which I favor) you'd look like Quasimodo with a rig like that under a coat or poncho. Right now I just have a canteen carrier on my gear, figuring when I dismount I could just slam a canteen in it. Canteens are definitely old school, but they still work. I think, however, that small bladders like that are a better setup. Keeping the larger bladder in your pack is also a good way to go. |

You REALLY need to move that cleaning kit in the first pic (trying to draw from a Serpa with a cleaning kit directly above it... I *know* that will obstruct the draw, I ran one for a year overseas). And you need to fully attach the holster to the mount, otherwise Murphy is going to fuck you. Try not to stab or slice yourself with that inverted blade in the second pic... (yes, there are better places to put it on that particular rig) And as said, how do you get to that gat in the small of your back on the last rig? Your rigs need some work. OK, thanks for the input. Cleaning kit has been moved. Serpa holster appears to be fully attached to the mount unless I'm missing something. Holster removed from back. any other suggestions are encouraged and greatly appreciated. If you look at how my SERPA is attached, you cannot see the bottom screw hole that is visible on your platform (and notice how much higher yours sits on the platform). you should be using three screws and three screw holes to attach the holster. but, iv'e never seen that particular model holster, and that could just be how it mounts. hope this helps. http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4049/4613113129_b4e4e7580f_b.jpg In my experience with the serpa's there are two separate mounts a long and a short. It seems you have the long and he has the short |

I think, however, that small bladders like that are a better setup. Keeping the larger bladder in your pack is also a good way to go. Ah, but Morg, you're forgetting that most classic of ARFCOM maxims: "get both." 
On my kit, I run a 3L removeable bladder in an MAP, as well as carrying a 1L Nalgene on my cummerbund (though I managed to lose my LaRue Nalgene "displacing" between AAR sites recently...  ).
The 3L bladder is a "sustainment" bladder and the primary water source is the Nalgene bottle. Only when it is depleted do I drink from the bladder. The Nalgene can be refilled quickly and easily when water is available, and carries about 33 ounces, or just over a quart, or slightly more than one canteen. It can be carried in a pouch, or depending on what you're doing, it can be "hung" using a 550 cord loop and a grimlock or carabiner through some MOLLE webbing. Not the most fun to run with, but it can be quickly and easily stowed and accessed in a more stationary position. My total "carrying capacity" is 4L onboard, though, to be honest, many times, the bladder went flaccid. In many places, 0.5L water bottles were easily accesible and available. A Nalgene with water, and a couple of water bottles in an assault pack and/or cargo pockets and a shoulder pocket full of Crystal Light packets was more than enough. If vehicles were nearby, they each had at least a rack, if not a cooler full of water bottles already in them. It's not a 100% solution, but whatever is? ~Augee |

As a backpacker, I've been using Nalgene bottles for years, and agree with you. I also like my 1qt WWII stainless steel canteens. Two of them fit in the outboard pockets of an M1941 pack perfectly. I keep my filter/purification gear in the middle pocket. A 2 qt is in the top of the pack. Old school, but it works. In another pack, an Italian CFP-90 pack on an M1941 frame, I have a big bladder in each side pocket. On my vest I just have an empty CB canteen/GP pouch that I can throw a nalgene or canteen into. Good for the range. My 3 day pack has a bladder pocket, but I've never used it. I guess I should.

Also the stiffer the inner belt the more comfortable it is. I actually have that V-tac belt in your pic and it should be stiff enough for you but the Black Hawk duty belt is the best I've used. I noticed a big difference when I switched from that to a cobra buckle belt. |

I wear mine resting on my hips, although snugged down, bit not tight. The belt (HSGI) stays put when running or going prone.

I wear my belt like I wear my pack for hiking. The top crest of my hipbone runs along the middle of the belt. It helps to center the belt's weight (not that there's much to it) around the body's center of gravity.

I loosened it so that it is comfortable but snug and it's perfect. It should ride all the weight on your pelvis. |

I loosened it so that it is comfortable but snug and it's perfect. It should ride all the weight on your pelvis. I do the same, makes a world of difference, especially with heavier belts. I have found that the comfort and stability of wearing it like this varies depending on the design/padding of the belt, which in turn probably varies per individual. I used to have a belt with thick pads, but it was too floppy and the pads were thick enough that they would allow the belt to shift vertically over my hips. Switching to a belt with thinner pads solved that problem without decreasing comfort, so I guess there is such a thing as "too much padding". |

My operational rig for work. I moved a lot of gear to my belt line so I would have everything with me no matter what vest I wore. Heavy gear or plate carrier, I have all the essentials in the same place every time. From L-R HSGI sure grip belt & internal cobra belt with D-ring. Carabiner for helicopter anchor tie-in HSGI Taco Pistol mags Emdom single rifle mag Military Moron dump pouch HSGI modular drop leg panel Tac Tailor GPS pouch (for cell phone) Safariland DFA and single strap shroud. MLS system on the panel so I can switch out guns/strip off gear if we're doing linear assaults Safariland G35 w/RMR ALS holster Strider fixed blade On the drop leg: Distraction Device Cuffs CAT TQ Safariland Taser ALS HSGI bleeder w/shears Flex cuffs inside the panel The drop leg balances the pistol out quite well. I've been very very happy with this rig, even when wearing it up to 48 hours at a time. Great load carriage and the rubber keeps it in place on top of a Liger belt quite nicely. |
