mlipo member Registered: 09/22/08 Posts: 15	Hi everyone. I was wondering if someone could point me to a place that sells pouches that would attach to pack waistbelts-something big enough for a snack, and maybe chapstick or folded map.

You could make them as simple or as fancy as you like and taylor the size to your specific needs as well. _________________________ Why am I online instead of hiking?

ringtail member Registered: 08/22/02 Posts: 2296 Loc: Colorado Rockies	Salish, I have a pair that I have on a separate 1" belt. I quit wearing them on the pack belt because they twist and make the pack hard to get on and off. 2.3 oz. for the belt and pouches. _________________________ "In theory, theory and practice are the same.

I've already ordered a pair, so I'll see how they work out. Appreciate the heads up. Cliff
