To the OP - whats the thinking behind two pairs of scissors? Not a dig, but you could save some weight/space by just carrying the shears.
Would be worth getting a resusci-aid of sorts too for any first aid kit.
Its not a great picture, but all the plastic was scratched up and the paint had come off the forward assist, carrying handle and all the raised profiles. I'll find a better picture...
I've heard of the old LBV 40mm vest being used. Not the 'nam era m79 vest, but the 80s vest that attached to beltkit. Theres a picture on milphotos of a guy that set up his PLCE using the 40mm vest as a yoke and kept his beltkit the same.
