Belts, get these before surgery

I had to throw out all of my belts I had pre-surgery.  I wish I had been using a ratchet belt.  Easy to trim, and you don't have to toss them as you lose weight.

Hope this saves you some $$$.

Yeah, but do any of them have the capacity for hauling around heavy objects without stretching or sagging?    I looked, but did not see one for that.  They do look nice though.

Bill, what can I say, I buy good ones, and they work great and hold up well.

All I can see is an itty bitty question mark.  I have a double thickness cowhide belt right now from Springfield leather.  It has to hold up a .45 ACP (Tupperware or aluminum frame, so they are lightweight), spare ammo, a flashlight, and an phone.  It does a good job, but I am always looking to see what else might be out there.  I am getting too skinny for this one.  I have a smaller one in reserve, but I suspect I will outgrow (or outshrink?) that one eventually too.

Here is a link from the above picture:

When I used to be in good shape, my favorite belt was an Ernie Hill. Sadly, it ended up too big for me. I have one that's ok from Aker, but it isn't as sturdy. The best by far is from Bullhide Belts. Best belt I ever owned, and US made, which I always look for.

I've been wearing this same belt for years. Surprisingly I got it at Wally World. I just used my drill and kept adding holes as needed. I consider it a badge of honor to go from where I used to wear it to where it is now.
