    Was wondering what others do here as far as having your essential gear along with you for shooting/hunting/comps that don't quite require a rucksack but can easily be complemented by one. Was mainly looking to compare notes on battle belts that have everything you need right there but don't have unnecessary shit hanging off of them. I've been testing the following setup:

    VTAC Brokos belt
    First Spear inner belt
    (from my left to my right)
    1 First Spear pistol mag
    2 Triad AICS double mag pouch (replaced with an EMDOM IAP for AR magazines)
    1 TYR Tactical Terrapin pouch (has terrapin, kestrel, whiz wheel, pen, batteries)
    1 Esttac/DST IFAK (can be pulled off for comps to save weight; this is mainly for when shooting/hunting)
    Safariland 6004 on GCode duty mount

    This setup doesn't weigh alot, doesn't need suspenders and doesn't bounce around. It will hold 1 pistol mag, 4 AICS 5 rounders (up to 4 AR mags if the AICS mags are swapped out) and can easily be supplemented with a ruck or hydration pack as well as has extra real estate if I really wanted to cram some extra pouches on there.
     
    I too am in the process of setting up my first match belt. So far mine consists of a Blackhawk battle Belt, TT admin pouch, TT dump pouch, Blackhawk serpa 1911 holster, TT 3 pistol mag pouch, and a stacked Blackhawk 7.62 2 mag pouch. I also have a TT drop leg attachment but not using it right now. I have gotten all my stuff used. I have yet to use it in an actual comp, but am looking forward to it. Shot my first long range match earlier this year with a less than adequate set up and still had a blast. I am eager to get set up properly as I can afford.

    Looking forward to some insight.

    SORD Belt (auscam) with:
    SORD dump pouch
    2 X platatac SR98 mag pouches (AW mags)
    2x other mag pouches (i carry a total of 5 mags for my AI AX)
    SORD micro accessory pouch


    Camelbak motherlode
    1x large accessory pouch (platatac)
    1x large accessory pouch (SORD)
    1X kesteral pouch (SORD)
    3x small pouches (british surplus unk make)

    In the belt kit i carry 4 x mags and thats pretty much it, anything else i have ready to go in the camelbak.
    Such as the spotting scope, LRF, Kesteral , extra ammo, rear bags,data book and other tools, field cleaning kit and of course water.

    If i want to go even lighter i have a SORD scavenger bag that can fit a few of those things in it but not anything else.
