What's in your pockets?

Other than wockets? People range from urban minimalists to bushed preppers - where do you stand?

This thought came to me when I was changing pants the other day. I emptied the contents on the table and thought: “I wonder if this is normal? Typical?”

I always have lots of weight in the pockets.

Vape + juice
Keys on a real biner
Lighter
Pen, sharpie, small screwdriver
1/2 decent knife
Cell phone
Wallet has one of them “swiss cards” in it…
There’s a loonie on a clip for a shopping cart at the Real Canadian Superstore :wink:

I used to carry a small 14500 flashlight as well, but with the cell phones these days i seldom used it

You?

That is a very similar quantity, so maybe i’m not crazy. Well, not based on the premise of too much stuff in the pockets…

P.K.W thos are my basics then start grabbing shit i don’t even need like 3 lighters :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Every once in a while I ask my better half something along the lines of: “hey, have you seen the keys to the truck?” and she goes “yeah, look in my purse”.

This is where i bring her the 9-pound purse and kindly ask to find them while I make coffee :wink:

That is a term I have not heard in a long time! Left Eurpoe 21 years ago and only been back once, unfortunately

Here, they are called Band-Aid :slight_smile:

Huh?

I’m a Canuck and the only brand I buy is Elastoplast.

Still call them “band-aids” just like I call all tissues “kleenex”, but nothing beats an Elastoplast bandage, man!

Hmmm. Seems that you are right, but I’ve never seen them on the shelf of my local pharmacy! I’ll have to complain to the owner!

I always have my keys, cell, and three main components: fire, sharp, light. A lighter (multiple if I’m leaving the city), at least one folding knife (and usually a multitool of some sort), plus a flashlight with a charged battery.
As an industrial tradesman who does a lot of confined space work and who lives in a place with 17 hour nights in the winter, the flashlight is essential. A blade is one of the most useful tools ever made, and learning to manipulate fire raised us above our fellow animals.

Other stuff may be added, but those are the minimum. I feel I can deal with most situations I’m likely to face given that gear.
