Great being back at LAC on Sunday. After nearly 6 years away(!) fantastic to play at The Farm CQB.
Used a custom build 4x2 pouch to hold my kit with the belt loop option so no rig needed.
I've since built a rear stock shotgun shell holder to go along with the Bandolier/sling I made previously.

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern #Gaza, #Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the MoH, he died from hypothermia.

The harsh winter weather and the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under 5.

Back to work on the v2 Plate Carrier, old cummerbund design (top) with new version below. Redesign is a lightweight webbing construction with integrated MOLLE loops. In colder conditions the (optional) padded back can be added via MOLLE without interfering with any attached pouches.

Introducing the 'compact' utility pouch, same overall size as the standard version but half the depth, ideal for attaching on other MOLLE equipment.
Built with the same YKK zippers and high quality fabric as the full size version.
