One of the best accessories for a whip user is a good whip belt. That is a belt solely for the purpose of carrying your whip and related items. But the time has come for me to get serious and really make a top notch utility belt that can serve my needs when I'm out cracking whips. Most of my whip gear is carried in a "Whip bag" which at this moment is a repossessed laptop computer bag. This bag does a great job of holding my whips and assorted items but it's annoying to have to go to it every time I need to replace a popper or switch whips.
There is someone offering their signature whip utility belt and it is a beaut! Hand tooled leather and shiny hardware. A really classy looking piece of kit. And you would pay for it, north of $130. Worth it? It certainly is but what if I could do more with less? I'm not planning on making a belt to sell but I think I can duplicate the rig for less then half the cost. It may not match the aesthetics but it will darn sure match the utility. I need a good non slip whip holder, a pouch for extra poppers and a multi-tool to complete the kit. So I went on Amazon.com and looked around. Nylon utility belts, primarily for law enforcement times abound. They all have top notch hardware and are "heavy duty" for use on the force. Combine that with a single pocket ammo pouch or even a magazine pouch and you have your popper holder. Pick up a decent muli-tool at a pawn shop or online and you're almost there. Now comes the real hard part, the whip holder.
Here I shall digress a bit on whip holsters. The original whip holster we all know and love is the type favored by Indiana Jones.

Simple snap closure and it allows a whip to slip at will and drag on the ground. Although SA (Screen Accurate) it's not the most dependable holster.
There are several "non slip" whip holsters on the market. Most I think are a bit complicated or require more then one piece. If I would recommend one I would say go for the Cliffhanger Holster from Gery Deer. It's closure is Velcro and opens with the flick of a wrist yet holds a whip very securely. The other option is a double wrap holster. Looks like an Indy but holds twice as tight. I'm planning on purchasing one from Joe Strain here very soon.
There is another option and that is simply make your own to your specifications. I haven't seen one done out of nylon webbing and I'm guessing there may be a reason for it but I may tinker around with a few designs. Since I'm not a Gearhead (Indy Gear Collector) my options are wide open.
I think all in all you'd be looking at under 50USD for a good looking usable whip belt that will hold up to abuse and get the job done. I'll keep you all updated on how it goes. In the meantime
Practice, Stay Safe.
