That's what everyone did before they started making dedicated chalk bag belts, which doesn't seem like that long ago, but i'm 60. Many pant belts you can get at climbing stores can be tied with a water knot and used as a sling in an emergency.
Lots of ways to rack for sure. I put draws on my harness, and all the gear on a gear sling. Been stuck too many times with the right piece on the wrong side of my harness. A gear sling solves that as you can swing it around and access everything with either hand
For climbs where you're bring a PAS, how do you like to rack it? I don't want it getting in the way of my pro, but I also don't want it hanging down to my knees. I typically put it on my back-right gear loop and shorten it about half way by putting the middle loop through the carabiner on the end, but would love to hear what others have found that works well from them.
Generally you want to rack cams on a lighter wiregate carabiner. Additionally it's super nice if you can get carabiners that are anodized so their colors match your cams. I use the DMM Phantoms and love them, but the Black Diamond LiteWire's are also a great option.

What Kent said! Most manufacturers will make a "rack pack" which is a set of lightweight color-coded biners. My personal preference is the CAMP photon wires. Go to a store if you can and mess around with a few things to find the biner you like.
Love the way Dale is using an accessory cord for his chalk bag :) Instant additional material for whenever you need it...

Olivia's way of racking the draws works for me much better: It feels a lot more ergonomic.
love these videos!!!!!! I am so lucky to have found these two!!! Thank you youtube algorythm
Great info. Love this series and the hosts are very professional.
I really enjoy the Quick Draw McGraw action at 0:35 :D
Another great video, thanks for posting. Good tip on racking the draws on top of each other.

Thank you both!
