I'll be scarin' the bejeezus out of my neighbors if they see me running around the property (two secluded, wooded acres on a slope) as I carry a load while, uh, exercising...yeah, that's it.
Toss in dry fires with elevated heart rates and breath-catching moments...
I wish I had some real property, also wish I had kept this 54 year old body in better shape. :whistle:

Interesting thread guys. This time of the year I have started to carry my modified kit in my back acreage while scoping for deer season. Also plan to use my AR10T this year. Attached photo shows ready kit I have put together. Was going to use a tactical vest until I wore one in 95 degree heat with 90% humidity. That convinced me I needed more airflow. The suspenders give good support and weight distribution.
And couldn't agree more on condition, in my case a 66 year old bodY.

Where's the IFAK?
Just kiddin'.

I've never put a dedicated kit together but I did find a site that had some good thoughts on the matter. Your rig reminded me of it...

If you see an expiration notice, dismiss it and the article will be viewable.

I really like your inclusion of a harness. A duty belt is too heavy for hip comfort on its own.

Nice set up Sisco, you same the same mag carrier's. A CAT, SOF tourniquet would be a good addition also. Maybe a mini med kit. I like the suspenders, I did use a similar set up, and I gravitated away from it I don't know why it was just a natural selection over time. I hunt the westerner UP occasionally and always carry a lot of water and kit in general. I have a small pack that goes with. What goes in the holster?

Fred Nice link I will be over there for a while.

Right now a Sig Sauer SP2022 in .40 S and W. Soon to be replaced by a Sig P227 in .45
I have a small pack that can replace the suspenders for 1st aid, water, and other essentials, still hooks to the duty belt to provide load bearing support.

Sisco-Sig 227 2 thumbs way up. Did you see the recent article on the hot loads being made with cut down 308 shells in 45 ACP they where saying 1600fps from a 185gr bullet . they should be out soon if not by now.

No I did not. I either pack Cor-Bon or, if poor, Remington Golden Saber hollowpoints. I amended my response by the way see above.

A vet who used to be on the forum, Lebben B, gave me the idea for the belt. Good man, wish he was still around the forum.

Got the amendment, that's good you can't under rate water. Lebben - have not seen him here in awhile. I think he popped in for a minute or two last month. He always had a good perspective on the practical side of things.

Read about re-loaders doing that some ten years ago. They called it .45 Super. In 1911s, it required a stronger recoil spring and I think they mentioned some relief cutting on the ejection port.

Might make a hell of a round for a 16" carbine like Beretta's Cx4 Storm.

Kriss vector, can't imagine the velocity.
