The WWII rifleman's belt is an... interesting choice. I tried it once, when I was in high school.

It was great for lots of little stuff. But... it broke down quickly if you wanted to add something more than just a canteen and a fixed blade to it. And the canteen carrier, at least to me, is not that comfortable. I also put a jungle first aid pouch over the adjustment area.

You might be able to improve on it if a long malice clip will go over the magazine pouches, but if it does, you probably won't get much into the pouch it is around.

I think they are ok for a versital first aid kit, especially with the jungle first aid pouch. You can fit a number of 4x4s in the jungle pouch and the smaller sam splint, along with some nice bits and pieces. Been a while since I took that kit out usage, though, don't remember what all I had in it.

Oh, and expect to have it called a "batbelt".
