WHAT'S IN YOUR POCKETS? DAILY EDC STUFF

[chief38]

Well, I am starting to run out of pocket space! I typically wear shorts and a T shirt now days and have limited space in the pockets. I have chosen to go with Cargo style shorts to maximize capacity. Almost al my T shirts are pocketless.

Here is what I carry on a daily basis.

* two wallets
* Sig P365 (10 + 1)
* Spyderco Delica pocket knife
* Skillhunt M150 flashlight
* iPhone
* reading glasses (cheeters)
* key ring
* sunglasses
* wrist watch

While the list is long I feel I am prepared for most possible occurrences outside of my home. I have tried cutting down on size and weight and have maximized them to the best of my ability. I never had to think about space, size and weight when living in a colder climate - 9 months of the year I wore some sort of jacket or coat. Now living down south I need to steam line.

The next project will be to stream line down to a single thin wallet.That will help a lot.

Many years ago I switched from traditional leather wallets to the Allett rip stop nylon wallet. They make several iterations. I use the original, for $44. Pricey, but I'm only on my second one. They last for years.

No connection to the company. We all know sitting on a thick wallet is murder on your back, and having switched to these I'll never go back to a thick wallet.

 

[Valmet]

Chapstick, pocket-knife (Benchmade Griptillian or Kershaw SpeedSafe), Ridge wallet, and a 1923 Morgan Silver Dollar.

I see no need for a flashlight, tourniquet, first aid kit, or a bull whip.

Ok then, don't call on me when that lion rips your arm off and you could have fended him off with that bull whip!

 

[crstrode]

Back pocket, right: comb, lint.
Back pocket, left: lint
Right front pocket: Kershaw shallot, lint.
Left front pocket: Chapstick, house key, Fisher Space Pen, lint.

38 snub OWB is at 3:30 on the right. It is full of lint too.

Obeying chiropractor's orders to keep the wallet out of my pants, back problems have been cut in half.

FWIW, the pocket knife changes on a regular basis. Right now I have a 40 year old Gerber. Sometimes, it's a Kershaw or a Wenger Swiss Army with locking blade or a Buck 501 or a Beretta folder or . . . .. damn, I actually have more knives than I can remember.
