This looks like a brilliant idea:

I agree, that's one way to remember your PSK ... but that price!

Great idea............. $96 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUCH.

get some tubular nylon webbing should cost around $1.00 per yard. Slice it open for the majority of the length, say - 35 inches for a 42 inch waist. Get some buckles from REI and a flat coil zipper from a yard-goods store. Heat seal the cut edges of the tubing with an iron or open flame (depending upon skill and daring - make your choice - I don't dare to melt nylon with my wifes iron....:)), Sew the zipper into the opened length of the tube, attach the buckle and fill with your favorite survival supplies.

My main concern when I looked at this kit was all the lumps in the belt poking against my hip-bones making my belt uncomfortable. I suppose it is all in the packing technique.

Funny you post this, that was one idea I was toying with. I am a small guy and can't fit a lot in my pockets without bulges (see my other post in the Urban "Convenience" thread). I was thinking of buying one of these http://www.eaglecreek.com/40027.html and putting some kit in it. Looks from the pics to be about the same belt but with a price around $15.

It is the same belt.

I've got the eagle creek belt. Its very good and cheap. I put my own kit in as necessary.

No, it is not. While I have not seen the Eagle Creek belt, I do know the Pro Survival is custom made by George. Of greater significance, the Eagle Creek is nylon webbing according to the spec provided, the Pro Survival is polypropylene webbing. What that means is that after a while the poly belt will get comfortable and pretty much mold to you and its contents, the nylon belt will still pretty much be stiff and smooth years down the road. That's good when you are trying to conceal thin stuff like cash, not so good when carrying somewhat more bulky gear as found in even a slim PSK like this. Different goals, different materials.

The high price must be why it's selling so well. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Actually, I think it is a pretty good value. Obviously, you are paying someone else to do the work you enjoy, often assembling bits and pieces that you have scrounged via various means, so the cost seems high to you. But the value is what counts when someone not inclined to build their own is looking at a product such as this; are they getting their money's worth in terms of what's in it, how it's constructed, and their time saved. Actually, I think he's probably got it priced too low. <img src="images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

I will be posting a review of this PSK soon.

Wonder if/hom much George would sell just his belt for? Would be nice for us who like to pur together our own kits.
