With the ALICE clips you can wear one on pretty much any belt, if you like belt stuff...


It's funny you mention that. Basically that IS my outdoor gear. I use a BDU belt instead of a web pelt though. Occasionally I'll toss on my camelback, if I decide the trip is long enough to carry food or extra clothes. Knife, FAK, canteen. My basics. The PSK is a step towards being more aware of the area. I don't have a lot of Midwest camping experience, so I thought it wise to prepare.
