"Captain Homestead" utility belt
As folks here are aware, I often think so far out the box, I rate as freerange at times. Anyway the other day while watching a batman video, I got to thinking about the cool utility belt he had so I made one for working my homeplace.
I took a shoulder harness cumberbun back brace I use and added a few modifications. I added pouches around the outside waist wrap and shoulder harness to hold my leatherman, , small first aid tin, lineman cutter pliers, work gloves water bottle, hand trowel and cultivator, a few plastic bags and a nylon mesh bag, 10 ft length of 1/4 inch nylon clothes line and 6 inch stick handle ( great for making a rope sling to carry wood, limbs , emergency livestock lead or snake bite /cut tournequet, etc) and a battery operated dremel tool and a few attachments. I also added two rings at the back to clip a hunting vest style pouch if i need the extra carry capacity.
My entire belt weighs just over 5 pounds when loaded and contains most everything I need to do quick fixes without returning to the house when Im outside. I added the pouches so as not to interfere with the backbrace operation when I have to cich it up to protect my back and family jewels.
Now I leave it hanging on the hook by the door and just throw it on loose as I go out to propagate my trees or check my garden.

Jane was still doing bra commercials in the 60s and 70s and Mae West still looked good to us teenagers then too
Ive got a bag hanging on the back of my wheelchair that I load up with all the usual useful tools and goodies that I need in a day as I work. Im thinking I might get one of those little tool racks that you mount on the garage wall and modify it to hang on the handles of the chair. Then I could carry a rake, hoe and spade too without too much trouble. I can even carry a few fence posts or a few 2x4s by sliding them between the bottom of the seat and the double x brace of the chair.
Somedays I look like an old peddlers wagon.
