A new question: Anyone run a battle belt? If so, can you ruck with it? Some of the flatter belts work better, but they don't carry loads as well. The thicker belts don't leave enough room for ALICE's waist strap.
Surgicalcric, is that part of the reason you have your belt aid pouch on a velcro patch ... so you can take it off while rucking?

I wear a pistol belt with my secondary, dump-pouch, (3) pistol mags, and (1) rifle mag...I dont wear a molle/PALS covered belt if thats what you are referring to. Having tried several I find them to be too large and hot to be honest and they do nothing for me that the pistol belt doesnt.
I have never worn my pistol/belt on any missions where I had to wear "the tick" for any considerable amount of time. However my operational time under ruck has been in the jungle.
Having evolved a bit since my earlier post it is now a
Maxpedition 5x7x2 pouch mounted on a 1" length of flat webbing with fastex buckles so it can be moved or relocated around my body as needed. This configuration allows me to use the same BOK regardless if I am in full kit or not.
HTH,
