It seems like we had this topic before, but I can't find it. Maybe it was before the hackers. I thought it should be reprised.

So, what's on your belt?

On mine:

Mug frog and mug
A few pouches
Compass

Have a baldric for my sword now... good thing, because my belt was getting way too heavy!
Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

At minimum, a pouch and a pair of leather gloves. Sometimes also a leather mask (for when I play the Loupe de l'amour - ze wolfe of love ;)), and occasionally (under my cape if possible) a camera and/or my daughter's epi-pens.

That's what my extra pouches are for - camera in one, epi (and lipstick, powder, etc in another) :)

What isn't!?

My mug loop, my carved Celtic blade, bells, a spoon, several pouches filled with all manner of bits ... and sometimes other bits including, but not limited to, a tail.

I'm too afraid to weigh mine.   ;D

On a normal day- pouch (phone, wallet, lip gloss, flask), drinking vessel of choice, and fan- now that I have learned Lady Elizabeth's brilliant solution to parasol carrying, I'll have a gauntlet attached for that as well...

Yeah, I've needed to buy more pouches for years. I just hate to pay what they cost and I suck at making my own.

If I may make so bold as to suggest the following.  Making a pouch is childs play.  Most of the work has already been done for you.   Go to any flea market, yard sale, salvation army, goodwill, grandma's closet etc. etc.   Find a ladies handbag that you like, preferably one with shoulder straps.  Cut the shoulder straps off and loop them in the back as for a belt loop.  You can use rawhide thong and punch holes through the straps and the back of the pouch, purse, whatever and viola'(in southern it's warrlarr) you have a pouch/purse.  Try to use one that has a flap to cover up any zippers that may be exposed.  The ones with the magnetic catch on the front I like.   I found one about a month ago that I modified in just that fashion and because it is covered in fur it nor resembles a scottish sporran.  It's not rocket science.  In mine I can carry 2 pucking rats, a small flask, a loaded coin pouch or two and my digital camera.  Plus my royal express in addition to my other plastic pieces.

I think that's it.  No weapons permitted at MDRF, so I don't have any on my belt.

Whenever I finally get around to making favors, I will have to get a second pouch for those.
