So I'm narrowing down choices for my AK rig. So far, I only have the base unit which is the chest rig (BCS Ak Chest Rig) and I'm going to add items in the following categories.
I'd also like the capability to add more magazines so I will probably get a double AK mag pouch or two to stick on there if I need it, like if the situation really just devolves into total shit and I feel that 4 more magazines would be a good idea, and just stash it in my BOB most of the time.
I could also be sold on a small admin pouch if I can think of something to put in there. Other possible items of interest would be a pouch for a flashlight, maybe a knife sheath. I'm not really into hydration pouches and bladders and shit; I'm not the kind of tactical hardcase that can't be arsed to unscrew the lid off a canteen. I can also add these items to my belt as well if I run out of room on the chest rig. Maps and PSK are in the large admin pouch built into the rig itself.
I don't suppose anyone has any genius ideas for securing my tomahawk, do they? Also, did I miss anything obvious that I need on there? I'd like to keep it minimalist.
I've got a few friends that run rigs with tomahawks on 'em. They have the Tomahawk in a kydex shoulder/armpit sheath and secure the bottom of the handle with a PR-24 holder (police baton) on their belt. They all say it's pretty comfortable.
ReplyDeleteA PR 24 holder has been my solution in the past, but on my belt. Dunno how it might work on the rig...
DeleteMy rifleman's does okay just tucked into the rig when I'm walking but I haven't tried running like that yet.
What kind of hawk? I came up with a genius idea that only involves a length of paracord, but it only works with a Cold Steel Trench Hawk (because of the articulated plastic sheathe).
ReplyDeleteI have a trench hawk and a rifleman's hawk.
DeleteYour ideas intrigue me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Re: the admin pouch...if you can't think of anything to put in it, don't get it. That's how gear bombs are born...most of that stuff you mentioned at the end is way better off on your belt anyway dude, the whole "first line" concept is a good one provided you don't get too carried away with it.
