I'll keep this in mind then when building my kit for carbine configuration. I have a M1936 web belt and suspenders for it coming in the mail. I suppose I'll just use two pouches.

I definitely will. It's almost complete. I even have a bacon tin and condiment can. Mess kit w/pouch and utensils are on the way. I need to get a blanket too to put in the carrier. Greatwar.com actually has original blankets from the war period. I also just got a bolo knife to hang on it too. I know they weren't issued to everyone, but I figured I'd maximize the loadout.
