DIY Behind the back Baldric/Bro Rig, super easy and cheap, step by step.

[David Brown]

Hi Everybody,

So I have been seeing a bunch of very nice and well executed Baldric and behind the back rigs made of leather and what not. Very nice work from several skilled craftsmen.

With that said, I wanted to come up with something that would work for any kydex sheath that has eyelets on both sides.

It will also work with AK size down to even a Battle mistress.

Super simple was what I was after.

Hope it helps enjoy everybody

1.First get a Buy Brown sword sheath

2. Get 16 feet of para-cord, well only if you are as fluffy as me

3. Bring both ends together and tie a knot, run a lighter over it so it will not fray.

4. Take non-knotted end and run through eyelet by the mouth of the sheath, I do the edge side .

5. run through eyelet at the bottom of the sheath on the same side and the first one you ran it through.

6. now run it through the other eyelet on the bottom of the sheath.

7. run it through the other eyelet on the opposite of the very first eyelet you started with.

8.once you get it adjusted to fit snug when you are wearing the sheath as you want it, lace the remaining para-cord through the eyelets as shown tying it off how you like.

Now you have 18 feet of para-cord and a cool behind the back rig

Baldric style, cross draw ?

Behind the back handle up. Worn like a back pack by splitting the cords 2 on each side.

Strong side behind the back handle down sling style.

Cool post, bro. IMO, paracord is the most adaptable attachment setup for Kydex available. I have an article I wrote a year or so ago on my PC on the subject I've been wanting to post, just too scatter-brained to take pics. I'll take paracord over Tek-Loks and anything else anyday.

Dwayne, you got a little red on ya.

If you go direct, check your local plastic supplier, kydex actually comes in 4'X8' sheets like plywood, I get them cut into 2'X2' squares they are easier to move around.
