I carry around a messenger bag with lip balm, wet wipes, earplugs, earbuds, bandages, sunscreen, sunglasses, a respirator, a hairbrush, a phone charger, a flashlight, and a reusable shopping bag.

Appreciate the inclusive first sentence! My keyring has keys, a Leatherman Squirt, flat-folding nail trimmer, AAA Maglite, and a leather invincible star charm from Mario. I also keep with me a bandanna (with a glasses cloth folded inside), a leather wallet similar to this design, and a Leatherman Juice Pro.

Phone is a beat up Note 8.

In my bag I tend to have a little sewing kit in a mint tin, small bandages, Ibuprofen, tin of petroleum jelly (way better than Chapstick) and a Dirtywave M8 hardware tracker for when I'm bored.

Of course in the M8's dedicated case there is an OM System LM-P5 field recorder, aux cable, USB-C cable, Moondrop Chu2 IEMs, various headphone adapters, a microSD card reader & adapters, and a TRS midi A-to-B adapter. And the M8 itself.

It's like a nesting doll of comfort devices. I won't survive the apocalypse but I'll be able to distract myself while mutants eat my flesh.

Phone. Keys

Back in the beforetimes I had a fairly long commute to work, I pretty much had to rely on what I could carry with me, so I had a rather significant EDC which included several tools, utilities, comforts, conveniences and PPE between my pants pockets and my laptop bag. Now I don't even carry a Leatherman with me and when I do leave the house it's just keys-wallet-phone.

Wallet, keys, phone, smart watch if I'm going somewhere.

If not, just phone and watch.

Phone, wallet, keychain with my normal keys, my NitroKey USB hardware security token, a flash drive with Ventoy which contains several Linux distros and other live-bootable images, AirPods, and my Apple Watch

RFID blocking wallet, keys, Pixel 7, Pixel watch.

When I'm at work, I also have work keys on a lanyard.

When I'm skating, I wear a fanny pack cross body-style, so I can carry tools and medical supplies. It may seem extreme, but if you bail hard enough, you end up needing both(Why the fuck do I still skate at 37 😅 ).

Phone, keys, wallet, hand sanitizer. When I know I’ll be in and out of a vehicle a lot (therefore having to empty my pockets to sit comfortably), I use a small bag that I wear across my shoulder/chest that contains all those things, so it’s easy to remove and put back on.

Secrid card slide wallet

Weed pen

iPhone 13 pro

Phone, car key.

Phone, wallet, keys, pen, lighter, knife.

Always a knife. By far my most used and important tool used many times a day

I like to carry a toiletry bag with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and a bottle opener in my backpack. Really freshens you up after a heavy meal.

Phone, wallet, keys, handkerchief

Phone, keys, and handkerchief. Add a wallet if I'm leaving the house.

Phone, wallet, keys, Leatherman, and watch.

When I travel, I generally lose my Leatherman due to TSA and I have travel wallet independent from my normal wallet. The travel wallet is a lot slimmer, has RFID protection, and carries a lot less.

Flashlight (olight arkfield pro), pocket knife (cheap, but decent amazon tanto), knipex cobra xs, a comb (chicago model 1), 2nd kickstarter titanium ridge wallet, field notebook. Add an Olfa slim utility knife and a pen at work. Sometimes a uni kuru toga. Keys. Phone.

Keys, wallet, phone, USB charger pack, meshtastic radio, weed pen, headphones and my glasses.

I was using a smallish lunch bag I got at a tech conference 15 years ago as basically a purse but it finally gave out this year so I got something a little bigger and can also fit my Nintendo switch or small netbook if I want but those are more for when I'm traveling.

I carry my things in the front pockets of my jeans: on the right, just my bare Pixel 4a; on the left, my keychain (with 3 keys and 2 small tools, no car keys), my small leather wallet I bought at an artisan market many years ago and occasionally my trusty Edifier X3 earbuds.
Then, in case I make purchases and people hand me tickets (which I've been getting into the habit of refusing in advance, no need to waste paper), I stash them in one of my back pockets, typically the right one.

The layout for my left front pocket is almost always the wallet to my right, the keychain to the left and the earbud case on top of the wallet.

Additionally, I typically wear my analog wristwatch (smallish, very simple and non-flashy, matte grey metal core with lightish leather band) in my left arm and, in sunny days, wear my aviator-style glasses.

In winter, I may use a scarf and/or gloves, but it's often not necessary where I live.

Earplugs (in case a movie or concert etc. too loud)

Linux boot disk (I saved a friend's laptop this way once)

keys, phone (gross), credit card, ID, pads
