@@SurvivalScout2024 Five years ago I finally replaced the Cammenga compass I was issued in 1980. It still worked but had gotten too cloudy. I never got the bug for electronic navigation. I 100% trust my map and compass. It’s like the difference between driving a car with automatic transmission and having a clutch. The stick shift makes you feel like you’re really driving the car.

That is one awesome system you have got going on there! Though I would probably replace the big dump pouch with a Canteen/Cup set pouch, and try and squeeze in another small pouch containing some bankline, a space blanket and possibly a mini fishing kit if space permitted and it is useful in your environment. Still I guess you know what works for you.

I second this suggestion. My belt kit has a molle canteen pouch that has two small pockets on the outside. I have a canteen, cup, lid and stove inside the bigger pouch. With lighter, firestarters, solid fuel tabs, and purification tabs in the small pockets. If i needed to, I could stow it's contents and use the pouch to collect stuff. I also wrap bankline around my knife sheath. A rifle magazine pouch will fit a cover element and/or fishing kit easily and I use pistol mag pouches for protein bars.

You can definitely provide all the other necessities you need with what you have there. But I’m assuming you would wear this in addition to your backpack.

Get some suspenders with some give to them. I clipped my belt like this to my sappi carrier overseas so it’d sit on my hips when walking but be lifted by my shoulders when we had to jump canals all the time. Most guys used the thick suspenders that pull it up some and do the same. Spread the load.

I have a similar belt and mine differs in that I do not carry an Axe or a CAT Tourniquet (although I would if I carried a sidearm). So similar belt here: BELT SETUP 1) Streamlight Microstream 2) Mora Knife 3) Rolled up Dry sack 4) Maxpedition Janus Pack w Raincoat under the shock cord 5) Pathfinder Canteen assembly w Brew Kit 6) Vortex Monocular 7) Fenix P20ix Survival I am not anticipating a bushcraft full woods experience but I have the basics for Survival and I prefer to carry water but have the ability to boil it or use the Aqua Mira straw. I would sit on my pack and cover with my raincoat for shelter as I have done in the past. And would use the heavy duty blanket for ground cover as a lean to or just wrapped in it. I have means to start a fire, multiple ways to signal for help and cash once I get to an Urban environment. Scout Recon Depending on the mission I have an excellent optic tool and a pen and paper to make notes. And I have used a Silva Compass for many years. I always have a spare hat, gloves attached to my gear with a carabiner and have smaller lights to save my main light. And my Fenix light can be used for self defense against animal attack or other with a 4K lumen output. Total weight is under 7 pounds and if I were to add something it would be a Bahco Laplander to process wood. Janus Pack has: 1) Emergency heavy duty blanket 2) Med Kit 3) Silva Compass 4) Whistle 5) Aqua Mura Water filter 6) SAK Huntsman 7) Fero Rod and a Bic lighter w tinder quicks 8) 550 paracord 9) Signal Mirror 10) Secondary knife 11) Spare batteries 12) Flashing emergency blinker 13) Emergency Cash 14) Leatherman Sidekick 15) Notebook and pen Sorry for going over. Great video and hope my list can be of use to someone. Jake 11B10

I had the same idea a couple years ago and assembled a very similar belt. Although very cool and "high-speed" I found the traditional method of having the knife, multitool, flashlight, and tourniquet ready for fast access and the rest in a normal pack to be much more realistic. The days where my utility belt was entirely practical were far outweighed by the days it made the same amount of gear feel heavier by concentrating it all above my hips.

Since you're in the land of the grandmother, a pistol isn't 'allowed'! IMHO, you should drop the dump pouch and replace it with a military-style poncho and a canteen with cover, nesting cup and nesting stove so you have an easy way to process drinking water! Personally, I prefer a folding saw to a hatchet as they are lighter in weight, safer and quieter to use! Replacing the smaller pouches with fewer larger pouches will increase the amount of carrying capacity. Upgrade your IFAK! A good length of cordage, either 550 or #36 bank line is needed!

@@SurvivalScout2024 - IMHO in this case a 'survival belt' doesn't make any sense - best way to carry a load is in a big ruck with a hip-belt, which would interfere with the 'survival belt'. In my understanding is a 'scouting survival kit' some minimal survival gear, that's always on your person and allows survival, in case you get separated from your ruck. Only way to be a 'survival kit' would be, if you never go scouting without your backpack.
