Got the idea from another one of my forums. What do you guys carry on you, on your belt, in your pockets, etc - everyday?

For me it is:

My cellphone (not pictured - for obvious reasons - its my camera)
Gerber AR 2.0 knife
Keys
Wallet
4" RIA 1911 in an Old Faithful IWB

EDIT: I dont know why the pic is so small, but click it and get a larger version.

Shirt pocket houses sunglasses/regular glasses (whatever I am not wearing at the moment).

Left hip pocket is my cell (not pictured...)
Left cargo pocket (or right butt pocket) is my wallet, I slimmed down to a crabby wallet, 6 things (License, Insurance, AAA card, Bank Card, AMEX, and right now a gift card).
Right cargo pocket is the flashlight, a better-than-surefire surefire knockoff. I don't always carry it, but find I do more now than ever. Winter time is DARK!
Right hip pocket gets my EDC knife.
Belt gets the key clip on the top as well as my Leatherman Charge XTI, either by it self or in its holster with bits.

I've really reduced what I carry, but added the flashlight recently.


As for keys, I hate them in my pocket, hence the clip, but I only carry them when I need to. A keyring thread would also be a good one, maybe someone else will start one!

Wallet, keys, super old cell phone, and usually some loose change.

Day to day is

Samsung S3
Spyderco Para Military
Wallet
Thumb drive
Carmex
Mini Gel Pen

I pretty much only have keys in my pocket on the weekend. If I'm out with the family we usually drive my wife's car which means her key ring which I usually leave in her purse. I have a set of keys to that car but they live in my coin bucket at home.

Bob you being a stud I'm surprised you're not carrying a rubbers on ya 24x7 ;)

The usual crap everyone else carries except the flashlight has been completed replaced by my handy iphone flashlight app. sad but true.

Lance, flashlight app is cool, but no replacement for a CREE!

Dan reminded me, the ONLY time I have coins in my pocket is when I bought something with cash and I'm on the way home to drop it in my piggy bank. "What, you don't think I'd go into combat with loose change in my pocket, do you?" - Colonel "Bat" Guano.

It seems like I use my knife at least once a day. Cutting open boxes or packaging I guess. Don't really pay much attention to what I use it for, I just use it.

Since I can't carry like Chris does, it also doubles as personal protection. A few good jabs to the abdomen should take most people down.

Seems like I use it more often than not, for whatever needs doing. I've been carrying this same knife, not the same model, the same knife in my pocket practically everyday for about 12 years.

Depends on the day, if im at work:
-pen, work leys, my keys, wallet, money. Wallet and keys go inside center console of truck unless I get out for a long period of time

Normally:
-Pen, keys, wallet, money.

I dont carry a knife, used to carry a leatherman but found I didnt use it alot. I basically never take my tools out of my toyota unless Im at work so I dont need stuff all to much lol.

The knife comes in handy to open all my junk mail and packages I get from Amazon. I'm such an Amazon junkie! haha

As for personal protection I just show a pic of Bob and that usually scares of any of the bad guys! :P

Depends.

At work:
car keys
small benchmade
wallet
cell phone
Streamlight protac 2L sometimes if I think I'll be leaving late or need it for work.

Not at work:
car keys
large benchmade
wallet
pepper spray
XD40SC in a crossbreed IWB holster
cell phone
streamlight if I know I'll be out after dark

The knives I use on a daily basis, whether it's for prying something, opening boxes, or cleaning my nails. Just yesterday, I fixed my cousin's kid's necklace with my knife. It's the ultimate multipurpose tool. One of my professors in college said every engineer should carry a knife.

Front left pocket:
Car keys (whichever one I am driving)
CRKT TAO Pen

Front right pocket:
Wallet
Gerber Air Ranger knife

Cell phone in a cargo pocket
Fenix LD10 in the other cargo pocket

Bandana in one back pocket
Unbreakable (yeah right) comb in the other

Rest of the keys on a nite-ize carabiner/bottle opener on my belt loop

I use my knife and flashlight multiple times a day. At work and at home

Also, at work, if I don't have my toolbelt on, I have a regular size but heavy duty putty knife in my back pocket. Learned that from my Dad, and similar to a knife it has multiple duties. Scraper, pry bar, screw driver, knife (I sharpen it from time to time), hammer, etc... Most used tool of mine for sure.... Can't be one of those bendy putty knives though, it is a super stiff won't actually work well for spreading puddy type of tool :)

-cellphone
-wallet
-keys
-knife
-light

Knife is just for cutting and opening, no false sense of it being a self defense blade given it's a small SOG Flash 1. Flashlight is a small Streamlight Nano on the key ring. Eventually I want to swap the SOG out for a Paramilitary 2. Might change my mind one I get one though because the SOG is VERY light and small. Doesn't get in the way at all. I keep it clipped to my front right pocket, which also holds my keys. I can get in/out of my pocket without the knife being in the way... not sure that'd be the case with the Paramilitary 2.
