Ron, I love it! Its a real nice setup. And the EMBRACE THE SUCK is one of the best patches Ive seen since Major League Infidel. Heres a little something I have. Not the whole Bug Out gear, Just the good old hammer and chisel.

WASR-10/63 Romanian w/Red dot. UTG quad rail. Tapco side stock. Chinese AK-47 Sling. Tapco 30rd mag.
Black shooting gloves.

Blackhawk Omega Tactical Vest EOD.(Left side of pic; Breast Pocket. Flashlight/Flare Pocket. 2 heavy pockets. Right side;Radio Pocket, shotgun shell pocket and Velcro strip. 3 AK-47 30rd Magazine holders. Or AR mags. Chinese AK mag holder as make shift dump pouch. Tac belt.)

( I can make this stretch out for more than two days. Possibly more depending on conditions. But like I said, this is just a quick combat load. More like a scouts pack.

Tasco Binoculars.

New plate carrier came in the mail today.  I've developed a whole new vocabulary of foul language getting those taco pouches on.  I'll update after I beat on it a bit next weekend....

Shellback Banshee Plate Carrier
2x LVL 3  10x12 SAPI plates
3x HSGI Taco Pouches

Blackhawk Padded Patrol Belt  (got it for $1 on eBay.  Fits real good and has that third button on the buckle)
Blackhawk Serpa  (yup, I'm a lefty)
HSGI Bleeder/Blowout Pouch  (6" Israeli Bandage, Quick Clot, roll of gauze, pair of latex gloves.  Need a good tourniquet.)
Maxpedition Roly Poly Dump Pouch
HSGI Taco Pouch
Condor 2x Pistol Mag Pouch.  (it does the job.)

@ technique

You may want to choose something other than those ten speed mag holder from BFG. I used some for about a month and they lost their multicam pattern along the lines of the mags. So now I have VERY faded multicam rectangles on the front of the pouches. I know you could just take the shit out when your not using it, but think about when your in the field and having to grab your kit in a hurry and shove mags into those pouches, which is a little bit of a pain in the ass, as I am sure you know. I ended up putting them on the rear of my carrier, like you did, so that I could throw mags/ radio/ etc.. in there if the mission deemed such.

Oh yeah. I've had to toss a few of the BFG ten-speed line of products. That's part of the beauty of them though, IMO. You can pay $30-$40-$50 for s single mag pouch whereas the Ten-Speeds are $28 for a triple shingle.
I have them set up there as a "just in case" I need more mags- option. I'm not a fan of double stacking and only do so if necessary. I like to have them there because they lay flat when not in use.

I usually don't store stuff in them when I'm not out in the field. I've noticed this extends their service life.

The other downside is not being able to reinsert the mag after a tac-type reload without completely fumble fucking.
Not something you wanna be messing with. They create the need for a dump pouch for sure.

[RNGRMEDIC]

nice tech, you running a 1911 now?

[technique]

Sometimes I run the 1911. My warbelt has my M&P9 holster MALICE'd to it so I still mainly run that.

[RNGRMEDIC]

that is a slick setup, i dont have a PC but i dont think i am gonna get one either.

i do have a brokos belt on order so ill see how that works

i like to keep it simple, that rig you have there looks sweet but way out of my price range right now

[RNGRMEDIC]

i keep everything in my simple Oakley backpack

it works great

[UnBroken]

Technique: what kind of radio is that ?

[wojoman676]

My U.S. Grunt Gear Infidel war belt with:
2x HSGI double decker TACOS
U.S. Grunt Gear IFAK
Maxpedition rollypoly dump pouch
Raven Concealment holster for my xdm w/tlr3 (soon to be glock 19 w/ raven holster)
This setup is primarily for home defense or if need be, grab'n go

[Currahee]

I've been rearranging stuff - cramming more stuff in the pouch dedicated to "utility" and got some new pics taken

I am moving away from a dedicated pistol belt and just using a duplicate of my CCW rig





Chest rig contents: Mora knife, pressure dressing, HX370 Radio, 2x light sticks, Sharpie, two pairs flex cuffs, 3 magazines (can be upped to six if needed), CAT

Belt BOK kit: 6" Izzy Dressing, scissors, Quick Clot (I need to put in some gloves which I removed for whatever reason)

I usually have a Multi Tool on the belt too (I was wearing it) and in the field I keep a small blue LED around my neck

[cornkiller1]

BLACK Point blank body armor with level 3a soft inserts and level III SAPI plates.

Six 7.62 tactical mag pouches, 1 cross draw Beretta chest holster, dual Beretta magazine pouch, attached one point sling, attached camelbak water bladder, one CAT Tourniquet.

What happens to open top mag pouches when you crawl?

They all needed disassembly and cleaning.

[JohnyMac]

LOL, Currahee. Been there done that...learned and moved on.

Just curious...What is the purpose of the shotgun shell? Looks like you are carrying a AR.

Is that a Condor rig? Looks quite a bit like mine.

[Currahee]

It is not my rig, one of my training buddies.

Johny, the 12g is probably left over from a three gun match.

Frosty- I believe it is a Condor

[USMC0331]

That's what happens when you crawl with your CH at belt level.  My current CH has the same setup but I wear it just under the pecs.  My mag bottoms would almost be even with the nipples in that photo and don't drag in the mud when going under a standard O-course wire section.

My next CH will have flaps though as I've come to the conclusion that unless I'm in a MagPul class, I don't need screaming speed access to them as my primary speed reload is off the belt anyway. 

Will add my gear next month.  I'm almost done tweaking it.... for now.

I could see a guy banging his teeth out with his mags that high 

[USMC0331]

Depends on how low your nipples are I guess.  Yeah, that was poorly written. LOL

[Burt Gummer]

This might sound odd, but why the bump cap?

[JohnyMac]

Currahee can answer for himself but if I remember correctly it provides a better platform for the NVG than the "skull crusher."
