How do you carry your accessory stuff?

[Bazoo]

A knife trick to keep a pocket knife from turning sideways in your pocket is using safety pins to make a temporary row of “stitches” in the pocket to keep it vertical. You could try that with your mag and oc before investing time and effort.

Here’s a pic of it at the bottom of the page.

I wear a sturdy belt, and am usually wearing uniform pants or @Magpul cargo pants. I've worn Wilderness Tactical belts almost exclusively for over 10 years. I have worn Wilderness belts with issued Army combat uniforms, I have worn them on the job doing armed security, and I have worn them on a couple of LEO jobs with the state of GA.

Wilderness Tactical belts are top quality, and the original. My most expensive belt is a titanium buckle Wilderness, but I've probably worn it for over 1300 days, so that less than $.07/day. If you want a sturdy, comfortable belt that will last for years, Wilderness is a great choice. (Unfortunately, the titanium buckle no longer seems to be an option.) Here's a cheaper clone from Uncle Mike's.

Bison Designs 38mm - Last Chance Heavy Duty belt is very similar in design to the three stitch Wilderness Tactical. It is not quite as good but still a quality belt at a fairly low price. If you shop around they can be had for ~$25-$30. The big selling point for me is the buckle is aluminum rather than steel. This reduces that weight considerably, assuming you're not planning of using the buckle for repelling.

When I lived in a 3rd story apartment, I considered getting some climbing rope to leave in a container on my patio, with a pair of gloves and carabiner, but I never got around to it. Would have been a relief in case of fire, though...

Read most of the responses here and realized none of them are useful for me since I work on the water (or I'm in my truck towing my skiff roughly four hours a day round trip with a nearly 200 mile commute towing to one ramp or another...)... So here's the way I carry my "stuff", first off nothing, or as little as possible, is kept on my person - one generous sized folding knife, a pair of fishing pliers on a tether attached to the belt holster, etc. and my cell phone. All of my "possibles" are kept in dry storage as nearly as possible (no such thing as completely dry storage on a skiff - particularly on the salt...). I do keep two working knives in a rack on my skiff - and that rack is situated where kids can't reach it. They're a small bait cutting blade and a modest sized filet knife - my serious fish cutting blades are never on my skiff - they're stored in my truck. All of my emergency safety gear is also stowed as much as possible in dry storage and secured so that the pounding the skiff takes isn't translated to my gear. The only exception is a full sized EPIRB in a rack that is partially under cover but readily accessible (that EPIRB is my connection to the Coast Guard - but only for emergencies...). I don't want them mad at me - not ever...

Lastly, I rarely carry any firearms on my skiff (saltwater discourages that....understatement) but when I do they're also kept as much as possible in dry, secured storage. What also needs to be mentioned is the constant attention and maintenance for anything kept on a boat - if you actually want it to work when needed. That's an ongoing struggle I've been learning and re-learning these past fifty years...

This is on my uniform pants but the principal still applies

It's made by Galco it's a horizontal magazine carrier but I don't remember what they actually call it.

They come in brown and black and I paid $45 for mine. You can get one specific to your magazine or to your brand of magazines. And they're adjustable for tension on the bottom.

I've never had one fall out of the magazine carrier and I've never had one get in my way sitting down or walking around or doing my job.

I generally carry my OC spray in my right front pocket and there's nothing else there.

I'm one of those bat belt people. I got that way working as a security guard for 15 years.

I wear Wrangler cargo shorts or pants all the time except for when I'm going to the gym. I don't know why but they're really popular here, so I don't stand out from the crowd.

Left cargo pocket, a small Trauma Pack Pro first aid kkit.and my phone in the phone pocket.

Right cargo pocket, wallet and a handkerchief (because I'm old like that).

Left pocket, Fenix RC05 flashlight, doesn't matter if I'm leaving home at 6:00 a.m. in the morning. Pocket knife.

Right pocket, UDAP Jogger Fogger and even though I said nothing else I've also recently added a pocket watch.

Back pockets are empty.

Belt, 12 o'clock(ish) magazine holder. The nice thing about the old style Wrangler cargo pants so they have two belt loops immediately to the right of the fly and the magazine holder fits right between them.

3:30 (ish) Kramer leather holster with a Glock 19 in it. I split the right hip belt loop with the holster. It gives a good anchor.



8:00 (ish) Gerber Multitool and if I'm in the woods a Buck 110.

And since I live in a "Sub Arid" climate always a water bottle

I have at least one Wilderness tactical belt that is 12 years old and it is still serviceable. I wore it nightly at work as in support belt for duty belt for 5 years. I also wore it as a uniform belt daily when I was working unarmed but still carrying a bat belt's worth of radio and OC and all that other stuff just not a gun for 10 years.

One caveat if you buy a Wilderness tactical belt follow their sizing instructions to the letter. If your waist size fluctuates they also make small, medium, large, extra large and so on belts that have a little bit more range of sizing.

You can occasionally find them "used" for about half price on eBay because people don't follow the sizing instructions BUT as I mentioned previously, you had better follow their sizing instructions to a T
