What's in your bag? / Everyday carry (EDC)

Phone and wallet most of the time. If I take lunch I don't really worry about the wallet.

So you pay your lunch with your phone?

Why would I need my wallet if I cycle to work and take a lunch?

do you keep your cash in a small pouch in your cheek ?

I keep ruby in my belly button. Everyone does it now.

I also know that I really want to be able to rely on the tools I carry with me.
i have a few ideas knocking round my head involving some nice brass key chains and tools/knives etc

So I want to see some pictures of what you keep in your pockets.
I'm not talking about iphones,

just awesome things that you keep on you at all times

i guess maybe some 'everything in my pockets' type photos would be good?

Nothing awesome. Mostly quite shit, in fact:

• Shit phone (it doesn't have a camera, so it can be in the picture)
  
• Keys on a shit carabiner (the latter was added to my pocket today; it was the only part of my Vapur anti-bottle that didn't fall off my bike)
  
• Gum
  
• Swiss Army Knife (with one tool not showing because i can never get it out)
  
• Scraps heading for the recycling bin [back left pocket]
  
• Dog shit bags (unused) [back right pocket]
  
• John Lewis 3-pocket card holder. I thought this was pretty good until i saw this thread...

[Partridge] So what's de big oidea? [/Partridge]

So you pay your lunch with your phone?

some people have a credit card thing on the back of their phone now.

anyway if you carry a knife you can just demand other people's money.

This thread has been tried before but about pockets or bag, this thread is for both.

There are two rules:

1. You MUST have photos.
   
2. You must list everything (linking is optional, but a bonus)
   
   

There's no point in posting if you're not going to stick to them.

I'll start:

Why did I even bother with the rules...

You are breaking the law btw

Basic laws on knives
It is illegal to:

carry a knife in public without good reason - unless it’s a knife with a folding blade 3 inches long (7.62 cm) or less, eg a Swiss Army knife

Hehehe... Poor, Spatr... x

Also Opinels have a locking blade, so it's not just the length.

I like this thread though, will get round to it eventually.

Did it occur to you that maybe I have a good reason?

My job required me to cut a lot of cardboard up.

Ha!

I carry what I use, everything has been put there because I've needed it more than once. Also it looks like a lot but actually isn't the whole lot weighs probably less than the Abus lock.

Can I post this thread in popcorn yet?

Puncture repair kit, waterproof kecks, under-kecks, one pair of kicks, some keys, some socks and a wallet.
