Belt with pouches

[demographic]

Carpenter here, I have a tool belt for work.
Its got a Bobs Leather Boxbag on the left side which holds a small adjustable, a catspaw/claw bar, a stubby ratchetting screwdriver and selection of bits for it.
Rear pouch (another Bobs Leather box bag) either holds my framing gun nails or a chalkline.
Right pouch ( made by Faithfull and to be honest its not so good) holds my lumber crayon and birdcage awl, 8 metre tape Stanley knife and a few drill bits.
I have a Occidental Leather high mount hammer loop which holds a long framing hammer high enough so its not slapping me on the back of the knee all the time I walk.

The belt is another Bobs Leather product and its three inches wide and if all that sounds heavy then bear in mind I use heavy duty braces so the weight is on my shoulders and doesn't pull my strides round my ankles.

I have problems with belt pouches as when I go to the loo everything just slips off the belt and ends up on the floor! (Oh the trials and tribulations of being a woman!) I have a separate belt that goes over my bush shirt that stays done up and can be just lifted out of the way when necessity calls. Anyone else have a problem with knife and pouch hitting the deck at a rate of knots when relief is nessasary? Is there a better solution out there? Or is it just me?

I am having the same problem with my day set up however I think you either have to tie it together or as I am planning on doing running a molle strip at the back of the belt to hold everything in place. I am also looking at a molle belts however not sure at the moment.

Ive been looking at the same thing. There a number of molle style belts with a minimalist harness. Think viper and condor may be the brands. Ive got the ni patrol pack and looking to make an attachment style belt systems just for the essentials. This mainly due to the fact im used to carrying belt kit in the forces. Think its much more organised.

Take a look at the British 1903 pattern bandolier.

For short day hikes I use a hunters hip pack. This one to be precise...

Very good for day hikes. Comfortable up to about 6-8kg and has a very good game bag that doubles as shoulder straps for when it gets heavy.
