Here are two photos of the 5" TacTies fitted to my pouch. The top one shows the three horizintal strips at the back of the pouch with the TacTies passed down behind all three then over the lowest and behind the two upper bands. The TacTies thread around the belt and the tab end is passed through the plastic buckle to secure.
They can quickly be disconnected from the belt, but once fitted the tag on the end of the TacTie
locks into the buckle.
Hope that helps.

Thanks Alan, excellent post. Simple, but very effective.

I had another idea today, may be a little easier to disconnect too; will post pics when I can.

Look forward to seeing it. By the way the TTs are four per pack and reasonably priced. With the extra set added it can greatly increase your dangle (ooh er missus).

Like others have said, loops are the answer for me. I have the gear hang under the hip belt: http://woodtrekker.blogspot.com/2010/07/carrying-belt-kit.html

I would say anything by Maxpedition (expensive), Snugpak Response (I have one), grab bag of some sort- a quick search on ebay brought up a few ideas including a nifty Niton EDC bag.

Something that has been bugging me for a while now..

I like to wear a belt that I can always have on my person with certain things on in case I ever get separated from my main pack - First aid kit, Utility kit (calling it a survival kit makes me nauseous, also instead of those 'squeeze everything in so it's bursting' kits, I like to have mine as a common use pouch that I actually use) & Multitool/knife.

Problem is, I cannot think of a way to carry this while I have a backpack (with a waist strap) on that is comfortable and practical.

Anyone have a solution that they use for this? Any advice would be great.

Cheers!

I had topknot make me one about 3yrs ago, its designed to sit low on the belt & would avoid the hip belt on a pack.
