I learned that lesson on my first outing, I recall comparing myself to that guy in the navy seals movie with his dog tags flying around unsecured :P
BB's loose in my pockets, and other kit making WAY too much noise.

I agree with you on the buckles, I have a set of german issue webbing with similar buckles, there nice and easy to open, but the close is a different story.
East german webbing is worse :P
