       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a holding element positioned on one of said side boundaries of said working element for holding an item. 
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising a retaining element positioned on one of said side boundaries of said working element for retaining an item. 
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising:
 a second support element adapted for positioning substantially about the body of a user; and   a second connecting element, wherein said second connecting element connects said working element and said second support element.   
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said first support element is adjustable. 
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 4 , wherein said second support element is adjustable. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising an accessory attached to said working element. 
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said accessory is a lighting device. 
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein said accessory is an animal repellant. 
   
   
       10 . An apparatus, comprising:
 a working element including a top surface, a bottom surface, a first side boundary, a second side boundary, a third side boundary and a fourth side boundary;   a securing element, wherein said securing element is positioned on said top surface of said working element for securing an item;   a holding element positioned on one of said side boundaries of said working element for holding an item;   a retaining element positioned on one of said side boundaries of said working element for retaining an item;   a first support element adapted for positioning substantially about the body of a user;   a first connecting element, wherein said first connecting element connects said working element and said first support element;   a second support element adapted for positioning substantially about the body of a user; and   a second connecting element, wherein said second connecting element connects said working element and said second support element.   
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 10  further comprising a third connecting element, wherein said third connecting element connects said first support element and said second support element. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 10  further comprising an accessory attached to said working element.
