Snakeskin belt is easy to get on day 0 because you can feed a clover to a horse and then just walk over some snakes and get nice q50 snakeskin belt.
But for hunters belt you need leather and metal which take a lot of time. By that time you've already had your snakeskin belt for days, and then it's a great disappointment when you craft hunters belt and it doesn't give any more slots than snakeskin belt!
