I need to know what kind of "belt" I can attach this to for hiking?

WWII style pistol belt, an M-36 belt. You can find these all over in reproduction. It's 2-1/4" tall by up to 52" length. That is what I've seen. Most of the original ones I have seen areMore in the 32 to 40" range so be sure to get one that fits!

Wide or narrow the belt loop will work with up to a 4 inch belt and the loops have snaps for easy on and off with out removing the belt

Any belt...from civilian leather belts you wear everyday to army issue ones.

On the case for this style canteen, we have used our web belts, however we have had a great success to attach the case to our day packs and for our survival packs also. the snaps on our held sure and solid to what ever we attached it to. Try not to place the filled canteen in case on hip areas it gets annoying while climbing or walking (bouncing effect) gets old. (mid back position works great). Hope this helps. (at least a 1 1/2" wide belt)

I had to order a special attachment from the same vendor to attach it to my belt. I wore it with the paddle mount because my duty belt fit through and there are stops to keep it from getting pulled off, but I felt more secure with a dedicated belt mount.

I assume you're referring to the short clip/bottom loop location on the rear of the pack? I use that for trekking poles when not needed, as I think that's what it's designed for. Could be wrong. Otherwise, I have nothing but positive things to say about this pack.

Maybe not. It's heavy for it's size. I think there are better option, go to an outdoor hiking gear store and try some on to get the best fit.

An alternative to a belt is to purchase a weighted vest or, more cheaply, use a sturdy (i.e., appropriately weight-rated) backpack and load it with weight plates or some heavy object(s).

Elvyn, sorry, I did not buy it for hiking but rather traveling. I don't have a rain cover and I got the small one. Check their website, there might be more information there.

I tried and it is really awkward and isn't tactical or practical on a belt. My advice is to get a molle vest or plate carrier for this. I used it on one of my old plate carriers and it is effing sweet. Practical and tactical. Its not big and bulky and is easy to use. Durable too. Hope this helps

I have Treks as well. I use it for a hummingbird feeder holder. Should be ok.

As answered, there are belt loops. Both vertical and horizontal. However, they seem to be on the thin side. My wilderness frequent flyer belt at 1 3/4" wide only fits the horizontal loops and even then, just barely. In that configuration, the tool is not easily put back in. Might need to stretch it out more.

Not if it's properly secured, I use a piece of paracord as a leg strap. but walking with it can be noisy, you might have to hold it steady with your hand. this product is better for the range rather then a hunt, although it's still good for that.

I'm not familiar with the OP/Tech. If hiking involves steep incline climbing, the Black Rapid strap may not be suitable since the camera hangs at your side around the level of your beltline. You would end up having to secure the camera with one hand to keep it from swinging around.

It would work excellent. There is a stabilizer strap for holding the bag tight that most people tuck into the opposite strap slot. With this strap snapped into the single strap the pack is very stable. I use my pack for every hike I have been on, it is my Man Purse.

Yes, but you'd still need a carabiner and only as a last resort. Even if you cinch it down tight it will still probably move a lot. The belt's intended purpose is for use as an emergency extraction device which you hook a static line to. Pilots and other soldiers at a high risk of isolation are issued these here in AFG.

Not sure don't have it. There are straps you can attach it so it doesn't fall out of pouch.

Idk where these guys get molle only!! I have a two and quarter belt like the Vietnam era belts and you could probably run two of them belts through the molle straps. It's not going to fit tight mind you, however the weight of what your carrying in it should keep it hanging down on the belt.

You can use the helmet strap, the side strap and the bottom one to attach hiking poles.

You can attach the strap to your waist. When I do that I tie the straps in a double knot and have no trouble with it. I do not use the strap like a belt as it is too long for me. It does not fall off when tied.
