My Warbelt setup with Spartan Blades

Definitely a 'non-hacker'!

Well, at least he still has his 150,000 acre ranch.

He couldn't handle the ribbing that takes place not only in every team room, but in most Army (and I suspect, to some extent) and other service barracks.

I'll miss those dinosaur fossil pics!

I gues the guy needs a bigger 'war belt'...

And so it goes...

My 'harness' now hangs on a hook in the closet next to my Winchester Model 25 12Ga pump.

Richard, Did you like that Mark 3 dive knife? I was issued one and it used to rust from the condensation from your breath, much less the saltwater immersion while diving. Didn't matter how much LSA you put on it. some guys put cosmoline like grease from the motor pool on them, which worked OK. Those of us older guys that still had Mark 2s from the 70's were always fending off offers to buy or trade them. It looks like you have something taped to it. I still have a day/night flare taped to my Mk2, but I'm thinking of canning it since I'm not sure of the long term stability.

I, too, used cosmoline (just like we used to use with the K-Bars we had for dive knives) and didn't have any issues with it rusting up much.

Nothing attached - the plastic scabbard is wrapped with 550 lb test OD parachute cord - deadens the tell-tale 'clink' you get when the plastic hits a rock or something and also gives you a good 8' or so of usable cord.

All the pryotechnics are gone from my harness.
