Standardising the whatchamacallit

IMG_2542Here’s something that could do with a standards body. I don’t even know what these are called. Quick-release webbing buckle? Something like that.

You know it makes sense. All you have to do is boycott manufacturers who aren’t paying members of QIQRWBSC (Quentin’s International Quick-Release Webbing Buckle Standards Committee).
