Just posted this up in a thread over in W+SS, figured I'd throw it up here as well, to get a pic of my BK-2 up, and get started on my BH number.
The setup is:
Maxped 10x4 bottle holder in OD
Tactical Tailor E+E Vertical pouch in multicam
Tactical Tailor Double mag pouch in black
Maxped large Tactile pouch in khaki
The strap is an old guitar strap I had lying around rigged on with a carabiner and some paracord(because I couldn't find two carabiners).
Front view of the setup:
Top view of the setup:
Contents of the main bottle pouch:
Nalgene Guyot 38oz SS bottle
GSI bottle cup
Ghetto stove made from a tuna can, uses solid fuel tablets
6x Coghlans fuel tabs
Bandana
Little baggie with two teabags and two sugar packets
Front pocket of the bottle holder open
Contents of the front pocket. I swapped out the stock zipper pull with some gutted orange paracord and a zipper pull whistle:
Basic FAK(various bandaids, antibiotic ointment, Benadryl, Tylenol Extra Strength, some 2x3 guaze pads, wound closure strips). Nothing crazy, just a booboo kit.
LMF Spork
Rite in the Rain notepad
Pencil
Two instant handwarmers
Pen flare launcher
2x red pen flares and 1x bear banger contained in the tube to the left of them
Tactical Tailor E+E pouch open
E+E Pouch contents:
-AMK Heatsheat
-Water purification tablets(I think 20 or so)
-Signal mirror
-Fresnel lens
-ESEE survival card
-Whistle
-Button compass
-Hunk of fatwood
-2x PJCB firestraws
-Roll of duct tape
-2x rolls of gauze
-GG misch metal rod wrapped with orange paracord to make a handle and lanyard for GG striker(paracord was epoxied in place)
-Mini Bic
-Hank of paracord
TT double mag pouch open. This pouch is the "sustainment pouch". It works great for energy bars, bags of trail mix, etc. Really quite a handy pouch. This pic also gives a good view of the Spyderco Bill Moran and Gerber light attached to the tactile pouch, as well as the cord lock light.
Double mag pouch contents:
-Big bag of almonds just to show what it can fit. It'll fit 6 Clif bars really well, I just didn't have that many handy. You could still fit stuff underneath the almond bag as well, the velcro closure flap works really well to secure stuff of different heights.
-2x Nalgene snap cap containers, filled with either Gatorade or Tang drink powder. There are two elastic loops on the front of the pouch designed for 12g shells. These work really well with these small containers.
-Black Crater cordlock LED light. There's a shock cord system to tighten up the pouch, and I replaced the regular cord lock with the LED one.
Maxped Tactile pouch open. I didn't have this on it originally, but I had it laying around doing nothing, and I got to thinking. It's attached to the back of the bottle holder(or the bottle holder is attached to the front of this pouch...). Works great as a general purpose or admin type pouch. I attached a Spyder Bill Moran drop point behind the double mag pouch to the molle webbing using paracord. There's also a little 1xAA Gerber light rigged onto the molle on the side of the pouch as well.
Tactile pouch contents:
-Pocket chainsaw
-Roll of orange flagging tape
-Hank of paracord
-Contractor garbage bag
-Travelpack of Kleenex
-Petzl Tikka XP 2 headlamp
-Spyderco Bill Moran
-Gerber 1xAA light
-2x handwarmer packets
(tha'ts just a deck of cards underneath the pouch I used to keep it from falling over)
And here it is with my BK-2(with LMF firesteel and striker, and a chunk of fatwood ranger banded to it), and with an SAK and a good flashlight(Olight T-25) in my pocket, it makes for a great setup for day hikes. With a full bottle of water and two Clif Bars(no almonds), the kit weighs in at a little under 8.5lbs. If I need to carry more food or water, or extra layers, I can throw the whole setup in a backpack, or wear the backpack over the shoulder strap, which works really well. All in all I'm super happy with this setup. Any suggestions or (constructive)criticisms are more than welcome.
