Backpack is another idea, one with wide shoulder straps, can carry gear in it and use it as a shooting rest at times as well.

try goin 2 an army surpluss store n askin for a webbing belt ane either 2 respirator pouches or 2 utility pouches depending on the size of your batterys these should be ok might need a little modification or extra securing .

Falconry waist coat

 

Low big side pockets and a big game pouch back pocket, wide straps and a great lamping waist coat.

 

£25 delivered from eBay

 

Great for clay shooting as it can hold 100 in each side pocket and all the empty cases go in the back

 

Great for carp and chub fishing too as it can fit a loaf of bead in every pocket

 

Can you tell I bought a few for various uses ?

 

Been using them for 20+ years, tailor made for lamping
