What are the key components of the Blue Alpha Gear war belt setup shown?

The setup features a Blue Alpha Gear Double Belt Rig with a Velcro-lined inner belt and a Cobra buckle outer belt. It utilizes 2-row MOLLE webbing for attachments, including Esstac KYWI pouches and a Blue Force Gear med kit, along with a T.Rex Arms Ragnarok holster.
