A while back I posted about a belt attachment system that Ötzi the Iceman may have used. My friend Phil recently showed me his great Slatts Rescue belt, so I figured it would be interesting to combine the two:
This belt is great because it can be unravelled into 50 feet of cordage in a few seconds. It only takes about an hour to make and it uses a fairly simple knot. If you weave a piece of paracord through it as shown you can use it to attach items to your belt:
It is particularly useful for carrying game (I use the game carrier in the middle for birds):
Instructions for the Slatts Rescue belt can be found at http://www.orionn49.com/slatts_rescue_belt_knot1.htm. Youtube has a few videos demonstrating the belt knot as well. The original post on the Iceman's belt is at http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94091
Enjoy, and please post if you make one of these!
