2 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 1 , wherein a length of the loop strap ( 106 ) between two of the plurality of joints ( 108 ) is greater than a corresponding length of the base strap ( 104 ) between the same two of the plurality of joints ( 108 ).
3 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 1 , wherein the carrier loop ( 102 ) further comprises an attachment arc ( 101 ) having a length and a width, the attachment arc ( 101 ) being disposed lengthwise along the section of the loop strap ( 106 ), wherein the length of the attachment arc is greater than the length of the section of the base strap ( 104 ).
4 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 3 , wherein the length of the attachment arc is less than the length of the section of the loop strap ( 106 ).
5 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 1 , wherein the first regular interval (A) comprises a series of the carrier loops ( 102 ).
6 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 5 , wherein the series of carrier loops ( 102 ) is a contiguous series ( 460 ) of carrier loops ( 102 ), wherein each carrier loop in the series is bounded at both ends by a respective joint ( 108 ) of the plurality of joints of the loop strap ( 106 ) and the base strap ( 104 ).
7 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 1 , wherein the carrier loops ( 102 ) are spaced apart by a second regular interval (B), the second regular interval being bounded by adjacent joints ( 108 ) of the plurality of joints of the loop strap ( 106 ) and the base strap ( 104 ).
8 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 7 , wherein the second regular interval is comprised of a second section of loop strap ( 106 ) and a second section of base strap ( 104 ) defining a mounting loop ( 110 ) adapted to receive a mounting structure.
9 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 7 , wherein the second regular interval (B) comprises a second section of the loop strap ( 106 ), and a second section of the base strap ( 104 ).
10 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 9 , wherein the second section of the loop strap ( 106 ), and the second section of the base strap ( 104 ) are joined into a single section of strapping ( 410 ).
11 . The tool carrier rigging ( 100 ) of claim 10 , further comprising an aperture ( 450 ) through the single section of strapping, wherein the aperture ( 450 ) includes a grommet ( 452 ) bounding an inside diameter of the aperture ( 450 ) to receive a mounting structure.
12 . The tool carrier rigging of claim 7 , wherein the loop strap ( 106 ) is a single continuous loop strap.
13 . The tool carrier rigging of claim 12 , wherein the loop strap is slackened along the second interval forming a mounting loop ( 110 ) adapted to receive a mounting structure.
14 . The tool carrier rigging of claim 1 , wherein the tensioning closure is a ratcheting closure.
15 . The tool carrier rigging of claim 1 , wherein the tensioning closure is an assembly of a closure component and a tensioning component.
16 . The tool carrier rigging of claim 15 , wherein the closure component is a male-female buckle, and the tensioning component is a slide bar or ratchet.
