The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

YMMV, but purely for my purposes, what worked best, after any number of fiddles with anything and everything:
Center-zip vest with side adjustment (paracord laces).
lower left: 2 double mag rifle pouches
mid left : center-side opening gas mask pouch, with 16X binos, watch cap, gloves, and usually a coupla power/granola bars, etc.
top left: flashbang pouch with a Surefire 6P and red or IR filter, or equiv., because they don't fit in anything else
lower right: quad pistol mag pouch
mid-right: IFAK and snivel gear pouch
upper right: misc. pouch for a compass, a multitool, pen/pencil & notebook
Got a picture? Not the radio, of course.
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D
I personnally like the aviator mesh vests, for general purpose "walk-about" use. Customize them with the pouches/holsters of your choice.
If you think you need true battle-rattle gear, you will want something larger and heavier-duty.
