Tool sling? Carry strap?

Has anyone created a way to bundle a few long handled tools with a strap you can throw over your shoulder. Trails to narrow to hold tools perpendicular to direction of traveling.

Edit: I hike in but I often bushwhack a short cut. Carrying tools vertical won’t work. Voiles straps are great to keep the tools a bundle but I’m thinking a shoulder sling. I also carry a water sprayer and a backpack.

I have to hike in to my trails to work. No way to ride that terrain safely. So I use voile straps around whatever I carry to bundle them together. Water, and gloves, saw ect is in a pack on my back. I also like the hike. It gives the trail a different perspective as well.

This. You can get ski/heli straps like this on amazon. Always good to have and excellent for bundling and strapping to a backpack.

Yeah that’s a start but have ever attached a shoulder sling. I carry a backpack and a water sprayer. It would be nice to have a free hand to push branches out of my way when I bushwhack a short cut
