I like this a lot. I’ve been wanting to get a modular chest rig like the Ferro Chesty so I can run my placards independent of my plate carriers, but something like this mound actually make more sense. Off to do some experimenting.

I like that belt kit, what's in it? I've been considering putting a belt together with a focus on woods/hiking stuff, it'll have a few pistol mags for my carry gun but not be a battle belt. I found this expensive stuff from Marsupial Gear but can probably go a lot cheaper with surplus.
Edit- had to go to my tablet to get the screenshot. I'd probably replace the stretch pouch with a JSTA pouch with mags and have a pistol on the other side. Attached File |

I finally got around to experimenting with making a chest rig/pack.
I have a few placards. One is a triple Kywi that I run on my Slickster. It’s bare bones, No MOLLE, just a plain, lightweight mag carrier to match the form and function of the minimalist Plate Carrier. The next two placards I have have a few more frills and pockets. The first is an HRT Maximus the second is a cheap Krydex placard that I use to run my AK mags. Typically I would run these on my Diamondback Tactical PC with IIIa cummerbund. It’s a heavier rig and adds a bit more protection so the more complex placards make sense, although any of the three placards would also fit either chest rig. With placard modularity in mind I’ve been wanting to get a chest rig that would accept my placards. I was about to pull the trigger on the Ferro Chesty when I ran across this thread. I have an old Camelbak Stealth I got probably 20 years ago. I hand stitched some MOLLE to the back and added a large Eagle GP pouch on the bottom and a smaller pouch near the top that I use for a med kit. It’s been my light hiking pack and is a great all-day rig. Attached File Attached File Unfortunately the 1” buckles weren’t compatible with my placards so I replaced them with buckles that are compatible. I did have to add the female clips to the sides of the placard, but the split-type retrofitted perfectly. Pic of my HRT Maximus placard with side buckles added: Attached File Now my placard clips into the shoulder straps and the bottom part clips into the trailing part of the shoulder strap. When the placard is not in use the shoulder strap clips together and works normally. Attached File That’s when I remembered my TYR Tactical pack I got from Goodwill for $30. Turns out it was a special run they made for a ‘specific client’ and the owner of TYR couldn’t believe I had gotten it at Goodwill. It clipped in to my placard perfectly without any modifications. Attached File Attached File Attached File Everything fits together so perfectly. It’s exactly what I was looking for to allow a chest rig type carrier when I didn’t want to wear a PC or a small 24 hour pack and not have to wear a separate chest rig under a pack. Op, thanks for posting this thread and getting the wheels turning for me. I really like how it turned out. |
