Tac vest or belt pouch

So today to my excitement, when getting ready to take my son out to the woods for the weekends event, I checked in the cellar for a bag I could use.

I only went and stumbled upon this....

One of my dads BCB bags he was issued years ago when he was in the RAF. I have no idea on what the capacity is of this bag. Its not overly big, but not large enough for a night out without attachments.

Its in great condition too, looks brand new!

I use this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0015U789A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00 for almost exactly that sort of thing.

I kept looking at these... I'm assuming top belt is a hip belt and the bottom one goes around the thigh?

Yep, that's the idea. Be weary of them tho. Put too much weight in one, and you are just adding to the weight you have to lift with every foot step, a bit like adding a pound or two to the weight of your boot. Also, if anything in there isn't packed tight, with every step it'll rattle/clank. It gets annoying, fast.

"...I have no desire to look like a Walt..."

Which with a belt pouch (or even pouches) you might get away with, a tac vest, not so much, but on a canoe it may be possible.

However...

You're not going to get away with one of these and not be considered a bit 'Walt-y'.

I personally don't like either. They tend to get in the way of the backpack, and get in your way when you are trying to do things. I just keep the items I need in my pockets.
