I'm Baaaack! cos they aint caught me yet!
With a new name spelling because when you click on the 'forgot your password' link you don't get an email.

Good News:
This (think it's been mentioned here before) seems a great idea! The belt only, not looked at the contents, so no opinion.

https://www.wazoosurvivalgear.com/cache-belt-more-than-a-money-belt/

Bad News:
It doesn't exist and never will. They've been held up since June over the belt buckle with a built in bottle opener? Errr.... can't one buy a buckle anywhere? How useful is a bottle opener anyway. Hands up everyone on this site without a bottle opener on them already, on their multi tool, or multi blade knife.

Anyone know of an alternative?

Welcome back, Joey!

Interesting concept. I'll not be ordering but I do wonder how it feels on when it's loaded.

Good to be back in touch wwith one of our dancing gi....

errr... experienced contributors.
I've been wearing a supermarket zip compartment belt for years and don't notice it. It carries a suprising amount. But this looks like it would carry a lot more. Not sure how this 'kickstart' thing works.

I have become completely disgusted with crowdfunding sites and their unwillingness or inability to keep out fraud and incompetence. Have a funeral for your money before giving it up to a crowdfunding platform.

You could take a look on IPSC belts. They are made of two layers velcroed together. That may offer even more flexibility for sizing the compartments. You could even create a compartment for a bottle or can opener wink.

I must say I am not impressed with their component assortment, especially at the proposed price. On my recent hurried departure from our home, I fortunately took a similar zippered belt, loaded with my collection of greenish slips of paper with a portrait of Thomas Jefferson, as well as my "core bag" of ten essentials items (more like fifteen or so). I had no need for fish hooks or lead weights, nor has fishing been a need in any survival situations I have faced in the past.
