Always have a question about the guys with belts, so I'll ask it here. I don't mean to pick on youOriginally Posted by izzyscout21
I started out in the Army in the days of LBEs, then LBVs....then finished with IOTVs etc.
In my civilian job I've worn a gun belt for years. Nowadays I wear the gun belt with suspenders to take the weight off my hips
Bottom line, why do none of you guys with these belts wear any sort of load-bearing suspenders....I see a ton of gear on a wait belt, and all I can think of is the long term effects of that weight without any of the burden being taken up by the shoulders.
My car kit has old school LBE , plus a work plate carrier that I can throw on if I needed to.
Not sure I'd want all that weight on my hips alone over a prolonged period.

The designs of many of the belts negate the effectiveness of the belt. In some cases, suspenders are warranted when running heavier loads. In other instances, such as my example above, there is not enough weight to make much of a difference.
By design, many of your modern battle belts (not duty belts) are designed to cinch down very snugly, providing support to the user.
It all depends what you are using the belt for.
I usually dont like to run suspenders in conjunction with my vest unless I have to. Sometimes the vest and the suspender straps dont get along.

I am new at getting ready for SHTF. What is Shemagh and where do I get quick clot and Celox. Great list! Thanks
A shemagh is the tablecloth you see middle easterners wearing, (houndstooth pattern) but its Black and Tan, or OD green, etc. quik clot can be found all over the Internet, you'll see varying prices on the different products out there as well.
Common sense is so rare these days, it should be re-classified as a super power.
Chinook Medical Gear is a good source for anticoagulants
If you think that come SHTF you are gonna jock up in all your kit and be a death-dealing one man army, you're an idiot - izzyscout
