Army Combat Utility Belt

[livefast999]

Just came across these on evil bay, thought you may be interested, and also wondered if anyone had bought one, and if so what they are like quality wise.

No connection to seller, yadda yadda yadda.

Thanks

I've bought a few bits of their gear, a response pack copy and an organizer pouch. The quality is as expected for a far east import but to be fair neither has let me down yet. The stitching is average and the zips probably won't last forever but they're both still going strong at the moment.
It looks an interesting and useful belt and probably worth a punt but don't expect too much in terms of robustness etc.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I will go for one. I guess I can always go over the stitching again to make it more robust.

Like you say, it does look like a handy belt bag thingy

Thanks again

I think Batman may have one, maybe worth a PM.

I made my own from pouches got from a car boot

I just bought one for that very reason, now I can run through the woods with my tarp as cape without any fear of looking like an idiot, because I don't have a belt to match

All the anarchist-types around here have belts like that. Are they secret bushcrafters or supeheroes?

It says: Army Combat Utility Belt Retro Cargo Travel Bum Bag We could make a song using that line:

True, but his in in 'Safety Yellow' so no good for bushcrafting

Now thats the costume that Christian Bale should be MADE to wear for his next Dark Knight film.

Ahh, look at them tights....

And there's nothing quite like a superhero with pencil eyebrows.

Quite right, apologies.

I actually may get one of these to carry a first aid kit around in, quite often when you move away from the main camp area to do bushy things you will always take the Sharps but how many of us pick up the FAK and take that as well ( I know we should...but we are human )

So a little Belt mounted FAK could be a useful addition.

I use a leather "sporran" belt pouch...big enough for SAK, FAK, and flint and steel kit...
but if you like the "military" look this "belt of many pockets" looks OK, though not overly strong.
I prefer the "mountainman/dark-ages" look myself.

 

[Rabbitsmacker]

isn't that james may's 'belt of many things'?

What do you think of it?
I just took delivery of the belt and first impression is like Shewie said. You pay for the quality. It doesn't feel very rugged, though I think it'll see some use. Hate the velcro though, might replace that with (press) buttons.
