Very nice. I like the idea of belt pouches, but seems one wouldn't hold as much as I carry in my shoulder bag.

I see belt pouches as more of a "in addition to" rather than a replacement for a shooting bag.

Cool. Hunting mostly open country and having to do a lot of crawling I've thought about a belt pouch since they're easier to slide behind you but then the powder horn would still be an issue if you wanted to hunt more traditionally. Otherwise a modern style belt pouch and speed loaders would be in order.
The Lemuel Lyman belt pouch is a great period correct belt pouch that works for carrying the needed items for a day's hunt. Lots of information available here on the Forum to be perused following a search for "Lemuel Lyman belt pouch".

Great pouches and bags all!
No one needs to know what "special" item or items you have in that pouch. But one can bet it just might be your go-to stuff. Maybe even that candy bar.
I recognize this belt bag.

It doesn't look like a big pouch. What are the dimensions?
About 5”x7”. The original was divided inside with different sized shot being separated. I generally carry round ball, wads, and patches in the front section and buckshot in the back. I keep birdshot in a separate bag in my pocket.

Whatever suits you. I usually lay out what I want in it, then design around my intended contents.
4”x4”
The goal was to keep a primer trickler and a sleeve for a short starter out of my regular pouch.
Loflyr55 makes nice things and has accommodated some pickiness for n my part.
