Alternate thread title: you know you have too much tactical nylon when.....
So I was digging through the plastic tub of extra pouches, chest rigs, bags, etc when I suddenly realized that with one purchase I could put together an entirely new rig without breaking a sweat.
So with the purchase of a Tactical Tailor X harness to add to MAV chest rig I had laying around the project started. The goal was to build an "all purpose" chest rig that could be used for recreational hiking, search & rescue activities (am looking to get involved in this in my area) or other associated activities.
Here's what I came up with:
Left to right it's a Maxpedition pouch, Marz combat medic pouch and a Blackhawk utility pouch. Above the Blackhawk pouch is a Tactical Tailor compass/general purpose pouch on the harness strap.
On the backside I attached a generic Blackhawk hydration bladder carrier. I'm going to replace the bladder insert and mouthpiece however.
Here's how it looks when worn:
Like I said this is a general purpose rig, however, those with an attention to detail may notice the tops of 3 PMAGs poking out of the Marz pouch. I had recently removed this pouch from my war belt and just handn't removed the mags yet. In real usage those slots would be dedicated to radios, GPS units, etc.
As you can see there is still plenty of realestate left for additional pouches on the MAV. There's the same amount of space shown on my left side on the right. Not sure what I'll put there (lord knows I have plenty of pouches left to use!) but I think I'll try the rig out as-is a few times first, then see if additions are needed.
Overall it was just kind of a fun project that I thought might be interesting to share with everybody.
