Survival Sheath Systems shoulder rig for Next Gen. 'hawk.

[Brian_T]

I just received my shoulder rig for a Next Gen. 'hawk/Strider Model MT-L combo and I can't say enough good things about it. I'm wearing it right now and, once I finish typing here, I'm headed to the woods for a little T&E.

Expect pictures later...

If you don't know the maker, you should go here and check it out. Mine came in OD Concealex and I had the sheaths set up as shoulder carry with a belt-carry option.

Robert can certainly expect more blades from me and Andy can certainly expect to send more 'hawks my way if he can wrap 'em in Survival Sheath Concealex.

Brian,

The one I handled looked great. It had ample adjustment room and held the hawk secure, but allowed for a quick and easy deployment.

I can understand why you are happy. I can see this rig being suitable for going out in the woods. You can have a sidearm and both hands free for climbing without weighing down your pants & belt more than you need.

Deer season is upon us and this rig would work for bow hunters and tree stand climbers. I see one in my future. Thanks for the review.

I ordered one for my NG spike hawk. from what you wrote, my decision was vindicated!!!

Sorry for the delayed update.

I wore this rig during a 3-day "survival" outing and it performed wonderfully. Actually, it was so comfortable that I didn't even know it was there until I had to sit in the car for 8 hours on the drive home. (Just imagine a sheath jamming into your armpit every time you lean one way...)

I had to deal with a couple of loose screws--no comments please -- but my Leatherman Wave took care of those problems ASAP.

The sheath needed a little scrubbing to get the crap off of it when I got home and, after drying out, it looks as good as new. I never had any retention problems and am actually having Robert do some more work VERY soon.
