When diving sidemount, a butt pouch is a valuable asset for stashing 'stuff' as there's no pockets available (or they're tight under the sidemounted cylinders). As the back is uncluttered, you're relatively free to reach back and touch or even hold your hands behind your back.
Thus clipping on a butt-pouch is simple: hold the two pouch clips in one hand, move that (right) hand behind you, with the other (left) hand grab one clip from the other hand and clip both on to the D-rings. Simples.
Would love to use a butt-pouch with backmount CCR. The problem here is that you cannot touch your hands together behind your back; you cannot get your hands anywhere near each other, let alone pass a boltsnap between them.
Has anyone got any ideas about the best way to do this?
Have almost considered using a "stick" between the butt-pouch D-rings so that you can point that stick at your other hand behind/below the backmounted kit. Idea being a nylon batten that's affixed at each end across the butt pouch and the D-rings.
UPVC trim for around windows and the like would work. Drill some holes along the batten and attack the butt pouch with a soldering iron for hole, then and 'stitch' it in place inside the pouch using bungee/whatever.
