Built up another survival chest rig.

This one is built from 5.11 gear chest rig panel and 10" x 6" x 3" pouch, and a Tactical Tailor Pistol tether to ensure flashlight (SUREFIRE G2Z-LED) retention.

Its purpose (my purpose) is to carry the ESSENTIALS, to make said essentials READILY ACCESSIBLE, and to ensure 100% gear retention., and low profile for easy woods scrambling.

Modeled by me lovely girlfriend:

Very nice. Really like the flashlight/harness setup. You have a great girl there, letting you dress her up and post pics!

That looks like a great rig, never tried a chest rig, but it looks useful. I like the BM/Snody.

here is my insert, made from corrugated plastic sheet, industrial velcro. Everything is velcro'ed in to prevent rattling and loss.

the insert makes the chest rig pouch rigid and non floppy

Very Good. Put some thought into it. Could use some AK mag pouches on the front.

By the way, if this Gal is willing to play commando dress up and support your hobbies, use some of that knife loot and buy her an engagement ring.

Girls like that don't come around often.

Nice setup! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I like the accessibility of all the essentials without having to stop hiking and take off a backpack.
