So I've been giving this some thought recently. After my first African safari experience, and now in eager expectation of receiving my Heym, I think I need to upgrade a bit my gear for the next safari. No more every pants pocket and shirt pocket stuffed with stuff, having to use a small camera pouch stuffed with toilet paper to carry my extra rounds silently, let's do things right.
What I do know is that although those dedicated culling belts with fixed ammo loops are gorgeous, I'd rather have separate ammo holders that slide on. That way I can switch from 7x65r to 300WinMag to .375H&H or anything else I would wish. I also think I would prefer to have closed cases, preferably with no metal (button) sticking out that could rub against the stock of my rifle... talk to @chashardy if you need to know why
I also never expect to be in such a hurry that pushing a flap open (I can unbotton before if necessary) to pull a cartridge from, would impede me.
Next to the ammo holder, I'd like my belt to hold my
- @Von Gruff PH EDC (although thinking of ordering an extra sheath with retention)
- Leatherman (thinking of maybe going for a smaller, lighter victorinox instead though, I just like having the pliers)
- Headlight (more practical than a handheld torch, when pulling an animal to the road in the dark)
I'll keep my cellphone (for the pictures) in a closed pocket, as well as a handkerchief and a chap stick.
So what else do you keep on your belt?
