In another life I was a tactical medic in the City of Detroit. I had 3 mags on my rig and 1 in the rifle. Never had a problem.

Re: Brainstorming My First Rig
Easy way to address both of your conerns is to run the chestrig as a second line or supplement to a war belt with IFAK, radio (police scanner?), gp pouch, pistol holster, two mags or so, etc...I have the BFG chestrig and that is how I would employ it.

Still just not too fond of the war belt, I've decided on trying the Esstac Bush Boar 6 mag carrier with molle on the front. Any objections?
I've got an Amateur Radio License and a Yaesu FT-60-R, so that would be in my radio pouch. I'm not exactly sure what everyone else is using for a radio... FRS? Are there more hams than I thought in the shooting community?

I just added a dual band TYT-UVF1 to my chest harness. I use the MURS channels for now, but in an EMERG will use the ham band if needed.

Really, anyone into disaster preparedness needs an Amateur Radio License and a radio.
I was fortunate enough to have telephone service restored almost immediately following hurricane Ike. Before I went to do radio support for FEMA, I relayed a couple different emergency message from my radio to 911. Vehicle fires and such. When the land lines are down and the cell towers are overwhelmed with traffic a radio keeps you from being isolated.
