Which is what I did with the loop surface on the full length side pocket. The interior loop surface will probably remain clear. If that had been a hook srface as they mistakenly mentioned a couple time it would have been a non-starter — useless.

The hidden interior pocket where he showed the holster is empty; I’m in California so no concealed carry here either, good way to get in serious legal trouble. Aside from being hidden, the hidden pocket is full length velcro with no easy finger purchase; I’d hate to need access to that pocket while the clock was ticking.

So far the two exterior pouches have gone all FAK — one small kit for everyday cuts and scapes, and the balnce for more serious wounds — large bandages for direct pressure, tourniquets, et al.

The admin pocket is getting pens, paper, various USB cables, power bank, with slots for smart & not-so-smart phones. Leatherman multi-tool will be in one of the end pockets and I’ve attached a small pouch on the strap which will accommodate a MT or largish SAK. One of my empty nalgene 32 ounce bottles will be in the large compartment, ready to fill as needed.

It’s a work in progress, not yet ready for prime time.
