Great suggestion Tom! I dug out an old set of wide strap suspenders or "braces" as we call them from my "Duck Hunting Waders" and did a 10 mile hike today with the FSH on a rear cross draw carry on a belt and using the suspenders as well....a massive improvement...guess there is a lot of truth in the "belt and braces" saying we have over here. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> They are not used as much as they should be!
