With something like this, the first thought that runs through my head is: how am I supposed to do tasks with my pants around my ankles? The second thought is: these look like the most compromised, awkward tools to use, if they work or last at all. https://www.slidebelts.com/products/survival-beltWhat else do you not like about it? Is there anything to like about it?

how am I supposed to do tasks with my pants around my ankles? Suspenders will fix that problem easily. I think that the knife wont be easy to clean. That is an issue if itīs used for food items. It is missing a cork screw. In Germany it might be illegal to posses. A blade in a belt buckle count as weapon concealed as an item of daily use. I prefer AA batteries and the flashlight seems to use a smaller size. For outdoor use I might prefer a brighter color. It really helps finding the tool when you placed it somewhere.

It depends on the situation. When hunting, fishing or shooting CAS the belt is not the primary means to keep the pants up. The belt may come off temporarily. In office itīs usually only the belt with a small folder in a belt pouch. On motorcycle tours itīs usually only suspenders. In neither case the belt would expendable for carrying firewood or towing a boat. Iīd have a dedicated strap or line for that.

Ridiculously overpriced!! It doesn't do anything that a small pouch hanging from the belt wouldn't do, and for the same expenditure, you could be nicely outfitted with all kinds of goodies....

At home, I carry a nylon double mag pouch on my belt made for 9mm/.45cal magazines. 1 pouch has a lockblade knife and photon light. The 2nd pouch has a Leatherman and a mini Bic lighter. I use all 4 items to varying degrees under many different situations.
