How does Benwa modify his Safariland holster for better performance?

Benwa enhances his Safariland 7 Series Level III holster with two key modifications: an extended ALS nub from OT Defense for improved manipulation and an anti-rattle foam block from OT Defense to eliminate any slack within the ALS system.

What medical gear is included on this battle belt setup?

The setup includes a Warrior Poet Society belt-mounted medkit (IFAK) where the trauma shears serve as the pull tab for quick deployment. Inside, it carries a QuickClot emergency sponge and an Israeli trauma wound bandage, protected from moisture.

Why does Benwa recommend carrying two tourniquets on a battle belt?

Benwa advocates for carrying at least two tourniquets, viewing it as a minimum requirement. This is based on the rationale that individuals have multiple limbs that could sustain injury, and the need to potentially assist others in a critical situation.

What is the purpose of the weak-hand side weapon on Benwa's belt?

A Warrior Poet Society Splinter knife is carried on the weak-hand side to provide a secondary weapon option. This is theorized for scenarios where the strong hand might be incapacitated or otherwise occupied, allowing the weak hand to still have a means of defense or utility.
