What's on your belt?

[WindChime]

That is why I'm starting on belt 2. I have a sever spinal condition starting at T12 going down. The 1st belt I tried to remove 14 strands of bell to lighten it and whit the back killing me all the time it still had to much weight. So the new one is gonna be tin bells that wiegh a lot less and space them with the oak leaves. Plus it also gives me a reason to buy all the pretty colored tails for the back of the belt that I kept saying I had no room for.

[Ditzy Gypsy]

Here's my new belt:

3 large nomadic Afghan jewelry pieces with little bells on them
100 Afghan coins ( not the fake ones made of tin!  )
A string of metal nomadic beads
1 pink lace scarf
1 pink silk scarf
1 little silk pouch for my zills
1 small brocade  pouch for cash, ID, lady Visa, small comb, powder compact, lip gloss and my cell
a pink folding fan

My belt is more like a sash, so it's hard to attach stuff to unless its in the front. I'm thinking about making some sort of small Gypsy-esk back pack purse to keep purchases in so I can still dance fee of holding bags if the mood strikes me, lol.

I also sometimes carry combs or cash in my headscarf or turban!

Mine tends to be more like WindChime's, heavy. I bought a second to balance some of the weight and to achieve a more pirate-y look.

On any given day, I've:
- leather pouch with phone, keys, chapstick, contact drops, a smaller zipper pouch to hold change, etc.
- small leather pouch with money, checks, cards, etc.
- tankard strap with tankard
- folding fan

Added at times:
- skirt hitches (if I'm wearing my skirt anyway)
- favor pouch
- my Midsummer Knight's Dream puppet on its own or in a pouch
- a pouch with my contact juggling ball inside

I do like to carry a basket when in skirts because I can fill up a camelback with water and hide it in the bottom to fill the tankard out of. I go from a mug's worth of water to several liters!

Pouch, skulls, dagger, shrunken heads (them's me "Be Backs" what never came back! lol), me pour old Uncle Bill's ear, jailer's  keys, and my flintlock. I feel naked without that!

[Laird Fraser of Lovatt]

mine's kind of spartan... me dirk and me mug.  Evrything else is in me sporran... money, cigars, cigarettes, cell phone, etc.  Anyone that's not a Scot would be surprised how much junk can be carried in me "man purse" as me wife calls it.   

[Sir Michael Geare]

Let's see...Pouch (Phone, Money, ID, Particpant ID, Hankerchief), Rapier, Companion Dagger (Main Gauiche), Mug, Eating Dagger, Faire watch and Small Bag.  On ocassions, there will also be a buckler.

[Lady_Claira]

Wow. That's a good question. For me, it also depends on exactly what I'm doing, because what I wear on my belt to faire is not the same as what I wear on my belt when I LARP.

To faire, currently, only my tankard. It hangs off by a string. I'll get more eventually, but right now, I don't have the money to. I carry a bag I made and I put everything in that for now. Though I want to get pouches to put on it.

When I LARP though, I have so much more. I have my boffer dagger, my pouch of magic items, my whistle, my pouch of coins, and my tin whistle. Not as much, but it is still fun.

But you were probably asking more about what's on my belt at faire. LOL. And sadly, there's only one thing there for now. Hopefully not for long. Hopefully I can add more to it soon. We'll see.

[Lady_Lily]

My belt usually contains
mug strap
leather draw string pouch-money
belt pouch-camera, epi pen
tail
small bell on a ribbon
rubber chicken on a string

When I wore my court attire, I had my belt so I could carry my jousting ribbons and a place to attach my belt pouch when I wasn't dancing and mostly for looks as my dance partners didn't like being whipped with pouches.

I usually carry a basket that I stuff with snacks, first aid, and other things I may need.

[Dustin]

Two pouches
- pouch A: wallet, timepiece, car key, eye drops
- pouch B: pipe, tobacco, matches, pipe tool (or flask, depending on faire and mood)
dagger
mug strap with mug
