Forester Belt is designed for comfortably carrying bushcraft items in the woods. A special mounting system on the belt loops keeps everything in check.
It complements the Helikon-Tex offer of carrying systems designed for bushcraft. The Forester Bushcraft Belt has one thing in common with the tactical belts: it can be worn on the outer layer of clothes, and it’ll easily substitute typical outdoor bags or small backpacks. The Forester Bushcraft Belt nicely works with: SERE Pouch, Water Canteen Pouch, Compass/Survival Pouch, or a Survival Water Filter Bag. Together it will make a comfortable setting for bushcraft enthusiasts.
A belt with a turbulent history
The origin of the Forester Bushcraft Belt dates back to the 1950s and the military conflict in Malaya. At that time, the SAS soldiers used nylon straps with clamps as tactical belts, which were obtained from straps securing loads dropped by parachutes. Over time, most British special units (SAS, SBS), marines, and paratroopers began to use the same solutions. The belt with a roll pin buckle was much better than the other options. It had a simple adjustment and adapted to the user's body.
More complicated was the Vietnam War STABO evacuation harness and its predecessor, the McGuire harness. It consisted of suspenders with a belt sewn from nylon parachute straps with clamping buckles similar to the British ones. Equipment elements were attached to the belt: ammunition pouches, canteens with water, grenades, etc.
