Back in the 80s in the Australian Army we had Alice the Brits had PLCE. And 58 pattern to lol. So we used to source their NBC roll for tarp a few sandbags. Later as a hiker I do tarp cheap tarp groundsheet. And a 2nd one as well holds my air matress and bivi bag. So it's a sea to summit and serves the role of keeping cold out of me too. Anyway I see you have the Jay Jay's very nice kit and your top poncho pouch. Maybe consider a second one or make something up out of an old pants leg. The Brit belt is nice slimline. I've tried it but it just holds less in my experience. I think that 2nd roll or tarp pouch would serve you well. Even if its just foe some merino long john's or a light fleece. Cordage is great. But look at jungle nots. Takes a lot less room quicker to put up. Tiny pouches flat a Lil over an inch square sew them up out of old clothing. I think it's a good idea to carry a Dixie set on your belt with a meal in it a fee coffee tea whatever floats your boat. Or perhaps even a Dixie set with some of your electrical in it to protect them some. I'm old school we didn't have water filters so lean towards being able to boil water as well love a hot drink tea coffee not fussed hot and wet will do. But very nice kit. I've had a tailored harness Web set before and if your using it often it's well worth it. As you are multicam, a British gsr gas mask case. Same sizish as a Alice butt pack. Carry strap molle back. I molle mine onto a 45lt pack. The great advantage is the pack now sits on its gotten and doesn't fall over easy access and nothing worse than your back and straps side of pack falling over in mud . Any way cheers well thought out load out and great kit
Good to see more people stateside running Jay Jays. It’s incredible kit.
