With what your saying the best bet would be a bulky belt. With pouches and containers and such having stability and displacement of weight is important. Not only is plenty of surplus pouches and belts for cheap but the belt has eyelets which can easily hang items such as bottles off of with string with less discomfort (cept the bottles slapping around your thighs as you walk).
