Forgive me for reviving an old thread, but this seemed the obvious location to seek the information...

I am working on putting together a more "informed" first line setup. I am looking at purchasing one of the many padded MOLLE belts that are on the market, but I am wanting to clarify exactly how they work. As best I can tell, they do not replace the belt that is actually holding up my pants...correct?

If so then based on TR's initial post, are you distinguishing between the items on your rigger's belt (like the small pouch) and in pockets vs the items truly on your first line that are attached to the gun/padded/MOLLE belt? Following this thought, this would mean that the first line is ditch-able without losing your most basic survival items. Correct?

Just wanting to make sure I am tracking everything effectively.

Any suggestions on who makes a good padded belt/suspender combo? Any new intel from anyone on what you are running on your first line?
