    Twin needle belt

    Anyone used the twin needle hunters belt before?
    Hunters Belt Combo – Base combo | TwinNeedle

    Have used a Ridgefield 5pocket bumbag in the past and didn't really like it, usually have to much stuff to fit anyway and take a day bag but then run into the problem of deer / bag / rifle juggle. Have ended up with quite a lot of Molle pouches and attachment clips lying around so was thinking of giving this a try.

    If you carry a lot get the suspenders as well

    They are mint mate. I have a mollyme pack that is a few years old and it's tough as nails.

    Usually end up carrying a bit, suspenders are probably a good idea, can see things sticking out too far though if I'm carrying that much

    Kiwi made quality mollyme is a bit bit for what I want, have a camelback motherload if I want lots of Molle options

    Do you carry any clothing eg rain jacket? Or emergency shelter? I've got a Hunter's belt but lately always end up going to a day bag.

    Most of my current hunting is in pairs - and not far from a base or vehicle

    However that water carrier is holding clothes in the picture
    Holds quite a bit - I don't but easy to have 1 a side
    Likewise you could add another pouch to the existing one for more space too

    I have mine so pretty much can hop out of vehicle with it on and be moving straight away
    Depending what pouches you have you can carry quite a lot
    They are pretty flexiable

    Here is mine

    Mine is very much same set up.
    I roll my coat up and use extra ties on the back.
    awesome bit of gear does not get caught up like a day bag and gear is at finger tips and easy to get off .
    makes a great rest when shoot off bi pod for butt.
    I did get the suspender after the first trip as once I had a deer on my back it started getting pushed down.
    probably feels more natural for me as I have been wearing a heavy miners belt underground for years.
    As mentioned I keep it good to go and just chuck a couple of fresh snack bars in and out the door.

    Pricing starts at $239 for a belt with a medium utility, and two GPS/EPIRB/Radio holsters. The ultimate combo which looks like the image above is $379.90. You can chop and change pouches depending on what you carry and how, basically a fully customisable belt rig. Drop us a line on 03 943 4444 or email em direct at matt@twinneedle.co.nz and im sure we can help you out

    They look pretty good http://www.twinneedle.co.nz/product/...rbottle-pouch/ will fit http://www.trademe.co.nz/1267432932 but definantly would need suspenders. For me 600ml of water, I may aswell not take any.
