What's in your pockets?

[tblosl]

I am pretty new to this sight, but not to carrying. I am just curious what other people carry. For instance in addition to my wallet and keys I always have my handgun, spare mag, and pocket knife on me. I try to travel light yet be as prepared as possible. Any feedback would be appreciated.

A lighter

 

[eldirector]

In addition to my handgun (not technically IN a pocket):
Keys, wallet, pocket knife, flashlight, lighter (I don't smoke, though), and cell phone.

I don't like a lot of stuff "on" me. The above feels like too much sometimes. Someone on here has a BOB-in-a-can that is pretty cool, though. Basically an Altoids tin with a mini-bob inside. Compact and pretty useful.

A pair of 1911s, a Mossberg 500 Persuader, and an FNP9 for a backup.

Including belt stuff:
handkerchief, cash (never in the wallet), 2 pens, 1 mechanical pencil, things-to-do list, wallet with the usual stuff and including a needle, 2 pins and some dental floss (carried since before our children were born to tie off umbilical cord if necessary), Leatherman Wave, Streamlight Pro-Tac 2AA light, cell phone, and a Hamilton 992 (double roller, gold center wheel). Oh, and keys.

Right now, the only thing (clipped) in my pocket is a folding knife. Everything else is next to me on the desk. I hate having pockets full of stuff while sitting.

Wallet, keys, and phone are the things that sometimes reside in pockets.

Nothing, I'm broke.

Has anyone read "The Hobbit"?

The title of this thread made me think of the riddle game that Bilbo played with Gollum.

What have I got in my pocket?

 

[donballz]

always have keys, wallet, phone, flashlight, pen, knife and beretta.

usually have except at work, screwdriver, multitool, first aid basics, fire starter (flint), flash drive, extra batteries, and whistle. all that fits in a maxpeddition mini which slides in a cargo or back pocket

 

[CPT Nervous]

I cut all my pockets out.

@ CPT Nervous:


I'm OCD and have raging eczema on my hands, so I have a pair of cuticle scissors, finger nail clippers, convex toenail clippers, and a razor knife in my left pocket and two pens in my right. One's a Pierre Cardin that I picked up at the school library I worked at lo these many moons ago. Writing with it is a pleasure. The other's a pencam that I bought not realizing it lacked audio capability so I'm now looking for another $50 8 GB pen cam WITH audio.

Keys and wallet go in the purse.

 

[Excalibur]

Fenix flashlight, Gerber folding knife, cellphone, wallet and of course "what's my my wallet?" My Capital One card.

 

[Lex Concord]

A hole...not feeling very Confucian right now, though...

 

[nox]

No pockets right now, typically though it's: chapstick, swiss army knife, wallet, cellphone. I hate having full pockets and I don't have my MO ccw yet. Waiting on our baby to be born so my wife and I can take it together.

Some of you guys must need suspenders to hold your pants up.

 

[Blackhawk2001]

Flashlight(s), pocket tool, pocket knives (up to 3), matches/lighter, 2 spare mags, phone. Various other small tools, pen, tweezers, mini-pocket tool, needles, thread, wire, button compass, flint sparker, bandaids.

lighter (I don't smoke, though

Why a lighter if you don't smoke? I can only conceive of a few rare instances of needing a lighter.

For me it's a leatherman wave(use it a LOT), flashlight(use a lot also), defensive folder, keys, telephone, wallet, and a speedstrip or dump pouch if I'm carrying a wheelgun.

Why, in case Cameron Diaz or Kiera Knightly stop by and ask for a light for their cigarette, naturally. Or you could stop by the Survival Forum and get some other ideas.

 

[shannonneumann]

Today, it's a wallet, pen, keys, swiss army knife, gerber folder, LCP (not in a pocket, but IWB), and 2 spare mags. The setup varies a little depending on what pistol I'm carrying, but it's pretty representative.
