Alright Don, I managed to walk off this weekend without the camera but I snapped a couple of pics today with the load the sheath easily carries.
The Trangia comes in another carrier but, with just the cookset, I've got plenty of bases covered for an unplanned night in the woods.
Let's see if I can give you a rundown of what's in my sheath.
Victorinox SwissTool and Surefire L4 in side pouches
Suunto sighting compass
DMT Duofold Fine/Coarse stone
K&M Matchcase with REI matches
Victorinox Outrider
Mini prybar from CountyComm
Orange Windmill lighter
Light My Fire Army firesteel with whistle and Photon microlight
Giant Steve Spangler test tube filled with fatwood shavings and wrapped with Gorilla tape and electrical tape
Two lightsticks
Handkerchief
Small hank (12' maybe) of 550 cord
Plus the big honkin' ASH-1 with a Concealex sheath mounted inside the thigh rig.
Everything is mounted to a basic web belt so I can take it off and put it on without having to thread it through my belt loops.
It's heavy when it's loaded. It is also fully adjustable so you can carry the load where it's most comfortable.
I liked having the pommel of the knife right where my left hand would fall naturally (like a gunfighter) and it was easy to draw and put away.
Having all of my gear right there where my cargo pocket would be was very, very handy. I regularly reached into that center pocket with frozen fingers to get some firestarting materials and, when I moved to a knife in another sheath, found myself struggling to find the big center pocket and two smaller side pouches...'cause they weren't on my other sheaths.
Great stuff Rob.
