My belt kit.

[Herman30]

Built around Savotta Askare lumbar pack as the basis. Added to that a few pouches and a yoke webbing.

Front two pouches = 1 litres Nalgene bottle in each.
Smaller side pouch = fire lighting stuff.
Bigger side pouch = food/snacks.
Askare lumbar pack = small axe, foldable saw, rain poncho, thin windproof smock.

It’s a bit reminiscent of pattern 37 webbing

You are correct. That is where I got the idea how to attach the water bottle pouches on the front.

It’s a well proven layout so should serve you well! Can you wear a rucksack over it if you need?

I suppose a small one (10-15 liters) could be managed. Haven´t got any in that size so I can´t test it.
But the main idea behind this belt kit is to be able to avoid a backpack and let my back freely sweat and let out the moisture.
And it´s for daytrips only so it will fit the water and (cold) food what one person might need during one day out.

I think basing it on a webbing type systems is smart, as it can be taken on and off like a jacket

It´s just as easy to take off as a backpack. A little bit more fiddly to put on; finding the front buckle as they tend to slide back behind front pouches.
