Brew, These also make grab and go pouches as well.
All of our pouches are full and at ready. Before we close the flap we fold the straps back and forth underneath the flap. They sit on the shelf in rows and don't make a tangled mess. Reaching up and grabbing the strap pulls it off the shelf and deploys the strap in a second or two. Same for drums and other styles of mag pouches. Makes for a very orderly inventory and very neat storage.
Grab and go for a full load is about 15 seconds including slinging the rifles adding a full mag and slinging the pouches. Knowing what to do and time management is always a one up on any opponent. No one would expect it, and nobody does.
We chose shoulder slung everything over chest rigs and vest gear for speed and rapid deployment. It was a conscious and well thought decision based on effectiveness. I just repouched everything a couple months ago in correct pouches. Before that we used a stack of old gas mask bags, straps set up the same way. They were very noisy since gear rattled around inside and they tended to pop open and spill when heavy items were inside.
I use those AR belt pouches for the boxed ammo for the 30.06 and 8mm. Use a razor to cut off the grenade pouches and they go side by side on a web belt rel nice. Same thing coiled for a quick pull.
