I lost a good VHF radio in a pack and ever since then I have always used a
small leash in addition to the belt so that the pack won't be lost if the
belt or buckle fails. There is a lot of force when you get butt slammed by
the chop. I use a small quick clip caribiners (sp?!) to clip the leash to my
harness.
