I have a belt setup. It’s mostly a holdover from a decade ago when I used it in Iraq when whatever I was doing was of lower intensity than a full kit required.
It’s a duty belt, holster, two mag pouches, knife, small pouch with tourniquet. It was really meant for the days when I was observing training Iraqis and I needed stuff, but not too much stuff.
It’s handy for riding the fourwheeler and wandering around the property, but if I know something bad is going to happen, I’ll put on a set of body armor, which is set up the same way it was 10 years ago...holster, pistol and rifle mag pouches, knife, tourniquet, etc.
The few times I’ve needed to grab my nightstand gun and go check things, I didn’t think there was time to don a belt or armor or that it would even help inside the house. I grabbed my pistol and flashlight and made my way to the problem...all animal, livestock or neighbor at my door related so far.
The neighbor that night was Amish and was more weirded out by my wearing nothing but boxers than he was by my holding a pistol when I opened the door...after I knew who it was.
Btw, if you’re name ain’t Jebediah, Ezekiel, Levi or something, I probably won’t answer after dark.
