>>2143319Depends then on the bulk of what you're carrying in there. The specific image appears to be pretty large. At least the HPG yoke in the OP image will do well to take the pull away from the belt line.
>>2143425I'm sure you did, that doesn't make it a good idea or optimal. And that also depends on placement, bulk, and suspension system. Personally anything more than a fanny pack seems to me like a very specific solution for a very specific problem, like fitting gear under your assault pack because you have to wear your assault pack for X reason. Or a open fram pack so you can strap a rifle and elk on after a hunt.
