I was asked to build a belt pouch to accompany a clients leather haversack. He gave some good suggestions, including incorporating a pocket on the belt loop. I used pigskin and it came out sturdy but pliable.

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".
Like this one?

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’ve made a few of them, and that’s what I typically carry when I’m hunting anymore.

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.
