I'm having the same issue (kit and waistline) but my problem is I wear a rucksack for work and the wastebelt of that stops me wearing a beltkit, in all honestly I really can't fit much more than a small torch into the rucksack, it's already a silly weight and full. I have thought of putting a pouch sort of low slung to dangle under the wastebelt of the bergan but I think it'll wobble about and get in my way.Briggs 2.0 wrote:I've had a review of my EDC with the aim of making it more compact.

)This is it, I'm sure we'd all carry more but going out to get the shopping wearing a set of webbing would get the odd raised eyebrow, same when you go for a couple of beers. Its where you draw the line yourself. A lot of places its just not practical to take even a small rucksack so its a case of filling pockets. For me EDC is what I can carry in my breeks pockets initially and if I'm going any distance I'll grab a jacket and this gives me more pocket options. Any more than that like a rucksack isn't really my EDC. Its easier if you spend your time in a vehicle, you can stow a bag in there but personally its all about the pockets baby.sniper 55 wrote:I'm having the same issue (kit and waistline) but my problem is I wear a rucksack for work and the wastebelt of that stops me wearing a beltkit, in all honestly I really can't fit much more than a small torch into the rucksack, it's already a silly weight and full.

I even considered a chest rig but that'll make me look a bit like a suicide bomber and I don't fancy that idea, and I'll look a wally. (well more of a wally

Much better to mark and avoid or stay in and lock the doors.
I remember being issued with mine and being told at the time that it doesn't work on smoke and has no underwater capability (they actually said that) And I was planning on diving the titanic...Code_Black007 wrote:I recently bought a museum quality 'size 1' S10 Gas Mask survival booklet and haversack!..
