I'd like to point out few things. That is most commonly used belt here in scandinavia. I've used that loggers tape for +10years, mostly in professional use (not hobby like others). For the first aid kit holder there's Husqvarna first aid kit that fits in that pocket. The plastic also on that belt and all pockets is so strong that you need to cut with chainsaw to break that. Also the inside "packing material" what you call it is just for comfort, but its still pretty durable and hardly wears out. Also no one really bothers to carry ton of pickaroons and other stuff many kilometres in woods since you can have all on your belt without anything useless stuff. I guess maybe its time to you american guys come to this century what comes to logging etc. Its like you are living still the stone age compared to how we do it in here Finland, Sweden and other scandinavian countries.

I’ve used it for a number of years now and it’s great for moving poles and logs, but can also be used to carry rings if positioned in the correct place and makes it much easier to pick up the log/ring, particularly on the back. I’d also like to say that as a European, if the British can really class themselves as European, I wouldn’t be seen dead in that belt, but I could definitely see a German wearing it.

Happy New Year Cody. Quick question, what kind of bag it that holding you IFAK? I currently have my bandage and TQ in separate little bags and would love to get them together. Thanks

Bunching tongs, been using them for thirty years commonly used when cutting pulp. Your not a logger if you haven't bunched logs all day by hand. This is what you used to do as an apprentice sawyer.

Cody, that tourniquet is it staged for application with one hand. I would highly advise you learn how to do that from many sources on the internet. It will still pack up nice and neat.

Cutting the smaller east cost logs those tongs and hook come in very handy. Especially cutting pulp wood.

The log tongs work great for moving bigger lumber and railroad ties. That belt is hideous. Send it to the East Coasters.

Video idea: first aid gear reviewing. I'd like to see some of your first aid stuff, as well as trying out things like a R.A.T.S. (rapid application tourniquet system), as that's taken up permanent residence in my "cuts kit" because it is so much smaller and can be applied extremely quickly.

In sweden we take of our belt when we go into public areas, like we leave the belt in the forest, Its designed for traditional thinning / spacing and finally my wife likes the fact that i look european because i am, Swedish When i worked in the swedish logging industri in the 80´s we didnt use an ax, what for when you already have a husqvarna chainsaw

Yeah, its the basic one. its only 166 usd here in estonia. if you want more you'll have to get the high-end Husqvarna flexi belt for 222 usd its much better.

The belt itself looks like it should cost $34.99, The grabber and the hook should be $20 each, the tape for $30. If the whole thing were $95 with the tools it would be a reasonable starter kit, if you are into the beaver tail look.
