Well through the wonders of the internet I have finally acquired (it was a scramble to get it before somebody else did) the IFAK pouch (holds a box of shotgun shells or a couple cans of soda perfect. Didn't realize the IFAK had such a large gap on the sides at the top, oh well for what I wound up paying for it I can't complain, even if it is nylon. After taking a look at the nylon first aid/compass pouches I will wait until I can find the canvas ones. I did however get my LC-1 Y load bearing suspenders in and adjusted, and also discovered that the cold steel bolo machete I have is a weeee bit uncomfortable for long carry due to length and width. Since I have always been a fan of Ontario machetes I will most likely save up my pennies and purchase a sawback 12" from them (the .125" not the .080"), and then try to find a decent sheath for it (or make one) I also have a Rothco repro canvas butt pack on the way now for the rig so when that comes in I will have to redo the Y but that's a quick and easy job so no biggie.
Here is a question. I keep seeing reference made to strapping the machete to the top of the butt pack, but danged if I can find a SINGLE example in picture form of how it is done. Anybody help me out? maybe some better instructions for the process? Heck even a way to mount the sheath on the back up high on the LB suspenders?
Anyway I am open to suggestions. I also realized that I had it backwards. The adapters will adapt ALICE to MOLLE/MOLLE II but apparently not the other way around. Drat.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
