Sam, ​​⁠in actuality, all that hair holds in a tremendous amount of heat, you may like the lookool look, but the miserable index is an indication of your suffering level. Personally, I shave and cut my hair only once a year, so most of the year I look like a mountain man wannabe, in the spring when the hear rises, I get sheared and begin the growth anew. Losing all that winter insulation is a real treat. It will return, only to be cut again. . Bold travels!

That’s the plan.

Great harness, I have an LBT Rhodesian and a repro Frerday and sons Rhodesian both are used to run as a DMR kit with 8 total mags and I run an operator belt with a dump pouch and GP pouches the pistol sits on the right drop leg and I run another eagle industries drop panel on my left with either extra mag pouch or GP pouch, between my shoulders and the drop panels the belt sits and a very comfortable level on my hips and you can pack tons of gear with these load outs. Eagle industries also makes suspender pads that slip right over the SFLCS suspenders for a little more comfort. I also have several old Alice LCE with the m56 belts. Old Alice gear is still relevant and definitely a viable option.

Half my gear is made by SOE. It’s bomb proof stuff.

Great presentation! My question is how low will she go? Looking at different options for webbing harness that I can use in combination with a 30L Savotta Jääkäri M backpack. So the plan is to have the harness sit below the backpacks waist belt, like arround the hips. Im a 6feet, 200lb man and my Savotta waist belt sits high to start with, like almost stomach height. Got different options that I know will do the trick such as the Canadian Army pattern 82 webbing which is easy for me to find but its not MOLLE compatible and most of my gear and pouches are MOLLE. Any advice and word of wisdom you can give me? Cheers!

This harness will do what you want. I’m 5’10” and 210lbs. There’s a ton more adjustment down. You’ll probably have to removed the back belt panel like I did. There are 3 and it’s made to remove the back one to make it tighter. You’ll have 10 columns of molle on each of the remaining panels. I have my butt pack spanning the gap between the 2 panels. Works great.

Something I'm trying to figure out is the height for this harness. Higher up and the weight sits on the shoulders. Down on the belt and it sits more on the hips. I am setting up a new (to me) version of this Eagle Industries kit. Most pouches on it are SOE with some surplus mixed in.

At that time I kept it in the carry holster and stuck them in that pouch together. If I was going to keep doing that, I’d wait her get a Velcro backed holster or one of those trigger guard covers in a string. Does that answer your question? I hope this helps.

Any suggestions to make the neck area more comfortable? Feel like its front heavy and the straps squeeze the sides/back of my neck.

You could shorten the back of the harness and lengthen the front. Could also tighten the back around your waist so the bottom of the shoulder straps will be farther apart in the front.
