These hybrid and Slatt belts are great for speed, but one thing should ALWAYS be emphasized with these belts- they're belts second, and fast cord first. If you normally wear a belt, it should be noted that these do stretch, and so do Slatts (not the same but another linear weave). If you need actual support, just go with a cobra weave- it'll be WAY slower to unweave, but you'll also get about an extra 100 foot of cord. So decide between speeds. Nice belts though... very top-notch and fast.

@eightbitpotion Very good points. Since this video, we've also developed a weave that looks very similar to the Cobra weave, doesn't stretch, and packs in quite a bit more cord, but still comes apart fast like our previous belts. However, like the Cobra weave belts, it is only available in D-Rings and plastic Side Release buckles. I'll have to do a video showcasing the new style.

you guys should give credit were its due for these belts ...Philip Sinnet-Slattery ....The Slatts Rescue Belt knot

[SurvivorGeekVideos]

@elninoisere If we had actually used the Slatts Rescue knot, credit would indeed be given. However, even a cursory examination reveals that this is a different weave, which is our own proprietary design.

I really like the belt but I carry a lot of items on mine (knife, flashlight, etc.). Do you think a PreparaCord belt could put up to that kind of stress?

If not maybe a PreparaCord Strap would be better for me and just use it on some gear.

@CaptainFur Thanks for the comment! I always wear my belt and frequently carry my folding knife by sliding the belt clip through the weave, and I haven't noticed any undue wear. We've also started putting an extra d-ring on as well that you could clip something to. If you're concerned about weight, I doubt that the belt would come apart because of your extra items, but it may cause the weave to tighten, which would stretch the belt. Hope this helps!

Hey, we love this video! That's an awesome use of paracord, and a really great way to carry that much with you!

Nice belt. Thanks for sharing.

your belts and bracelets use an interesting weave i havent seen before, what is it? It looks almost like a cross between a cobra stitch and a zipper sinnet

[CaptainFur]

@SurvivorGeekVideos Thank you for the reply and "stretching" could be an issue.

But I'm really thinking of buying one after I pick up the Bushman. :-)
