Stage 2 has commenced

Now the adaptor has been made, i need something fancy to house the gear.

The original BA set comes in a hi-vis bag as such:


Which contains this bottle:

Obviously high vis orange is a bit unfashionable in tactical circles so im going to make a bottle bag in black. Will be better than the original bag because it will have more than just a shoulder strap. The original set up had a strap and also leg fittings so it could be strapped onto your thigh and hooked to your PLCE (or similar) belt.

Im going to have leg straps as per original, and add various clips and straps so it can be mounted on any modern load carrying equipment, be it a webbing set up, body armour/assault vest or even strap it to your bergen instead of a side pocket. Will also have padding for the bottle and straps so that a gas mask pouch can be fitted to it as one combined unit.

So lots of sewing ahead!!
