Airborne TAP work in progress.
I decided to pull the trigger on a Mayflower Velocity System Jungle buttpack in lieu of my Molle waist pack and I’m glad I did. It’s got three canteen pouches of its own plus a roll top under the upper flap.
Two double mag pouches (probably replacing with HSGI double decker tacos), a SAW ammo pouch with 6 thirty round PMAGS, and a dump pouch. Undecided if I’ll trade the dump pouch for an IFAK or put Molle webbing on the assault pack for the IFAK (thinking the latter option).
FYI - This is my work in progress as a minuteman kit but critique away!

I just got my ATAP and I'm at a loss where to start. I've also put my mags all on my strong side but there just isn't enough space for mags and my ifak that way.

I feel like this is a comprehensive kit for my needs other than some discussion here that’s got me ready to replace the dump pouch for an IFAK.
My right hip is slightly lame (labral tear) from a motorcycle wreck so they don’t feel that bad on my left side, but time in the saddle will tell the rest of that story.

Weight is going to be mad lopsided once you put ammo in those mags.

Surprisingly six pounds on that side is hardly noticeable, but I’m sure it’ll matter in the long run.

What comes with the Airborne TAP

Oh, gotcha. I wasn’t sure if you had sourced your own. Makes sense

I hadn’t. This one is actually better than what my USMC TAP had. I had to upgrade that one ASAP.

If you don't have an IFAK and TQs accessible, you probably want to "dump" the dump pouch for them. Plus, I'd look at the Flatline Fiber Co offerings. You can get an IFAK, accessible TQ, and a dump pouch to mount under your mag pouches from them. Cool rig otherwise.
