Its like Peter says. Horses for courses.
I've been out and seen people dressed and armed like their going on a tour of duty. Walki talki with mike, lanyards criss crossing their bodies, bomb proof jackets, small spades and digging knives and pinpointer all hanging from army belts, and the army belt resembling Bat mans belt with little pockets going all around it, filled with spare battery, bog roll, fags etc. Some where a finds pouch can be found strapped to their leg, just in case it should come detached from the main belt. A mobile phone strapped to an arm

I could go on lol.
I'm not knocking anyone who dose all or just one of the above as its what ever makes that person tick or feel that they need. We're all different.
