Nowadays its super easy to find these nice pouches laying around in about every middle school totter or sportsfields...They come in various configurations, zipper top, velcro flap, some are insulated and include the freezer gell capability! So I grab up every one!
I use them for all sorts of things around the house and infield...nice little bug out bags and tool kits for the vehicles, coin storage, ammo bags, snake enclosures, worm boxes, etc...
OK, so now you got a pouch or several from your early Sat am totter run, now you need some tactical webbing with the quick snaps for a belt!...Where to get those? For free?
Well, right down at the nearest beach/boatramp!..the down wind floating garbage catch end of about any lake theres abandoned lifejackets a guy comes across, so you simply take a moment to pull out the straps and leave the rest!
So then you modify the bags, melt some holes in the bottom for drainage with your Wifes good soldering iron out of her stained glass shop ..
The cool thing about this, a guy can add or subtract multiple bags from the same belt for the hunt, a guy can carry an insulated one with cold beverages and lunch inside, batteries, cellphone, keys, handgun, papertowels, smokes,..the usual gear a guy needs ...in each little bag depending on the location and duration of your outing...!
Everything is easily replaceable throughout any given season...theres lunchbags and lifejackets laying around ALL over the place! Good thing is, its all FREE, and some of those bags still have food in them!!
Keep an eye open for useful things abandoned...Sure we are after metal, but you would be surprised what people leave behind that is willing to lend an assist..
We NEVER had anything so cool like this when we were kids! We were lucky to have a length of baling twine for a belt and an old gunny sack!
The old guys used to call them 'Possible Pouches'...they were critical to survival...yep...a guy always needs storage and belts....
