right pocket: A Gerber Paraframe II knife

left rear pocket: wallet (drivers ID / a few bucks)
Plus: small roll of wire
a small multi-tool
a few small bandages
a few firecrackers

right rear pocket: two large bandanas



What gear we keep in our trucks/cars would be another good thread.

[hso]

Welcome to THR, the iron horse.

What are the firecrackers and wire for?

[rantingredneck]

This is pretty standard for me:


http://www.rantingredneck.com/evolution/media/Everything%20but%20the%20kitchen%20sink.JPG


Yes I actually carry all that stuff every day (with some rare exceptions):

1) Ruger P345 in Bianchi Minimalist goes on belt at appendix position.

2) Spare mag in carrier goes in left front pocket. That carrier keeps it well in position.

(When I get to work these two items stay in the truck console.)

3) Leatherman multitool goes on belt at 4:00 horizontally.

4) CRKT Crawford Falcon clips inside left rear pocket or in leg pocket if wearing certain cargo type pants.
5) Sabre defense spray clips inside left front pocket (usually goes in laptop case or in truck when I get to work)

6) Gerber mini folder used as money clip goes in right front pocket along with

7) Leatherman micra.

8) cell phone goes in shirt pocket or in belt carrier at 7:00

9) Wallet in right rear pocket.

Some days I will leave the Leatherman or the Pepperspray behind at home or in my truck (I keep a spare multitool in the truck anyway). If I know I'm going to be out at night I'll pocket a minimaglite that stays in the truck for that purpose, or a surefire.

I carry way too much crap around

[the iron horse]

"Welcome to THR, the iron horse.

What are the firecrackers and wire for?"

Thanks hso,

I've been browsing here for a few years and have learned a lot.
This is a great community.

The firecrackers are just in case I ever need to make a loud noise. It goes back to a few years ago when I had to scare some dogs out from under our house. I threw in a pack of firecrackers.

The wire? I live on a small farm and I need wire to mend fences or to tightened loose hoses on tractors and etc....just started keeping a small roll in my wallet.

And I think I watched to much McGyver :)

If I could carry duct tape in my pocket I would.


One thing I forgot in my original post:
stout metal pen in my left shirt pocket

One thing I will add that I saw on several replies is a small flashlight.
Good item


I do not have CCWP yet, but I will soon.

Right front is usually my Kahr PM40 in a pocket holster unless I am carrying something on my hip. Right thigh is my Fenix P3D light. Right rear is my pocket calendar. Left Rear is my reload.

I also usually carry my Gerber Hinderer rescue knife and a small pouch with a pocket mask and two pairs of nitrile gloves on my belt just about 4 o'clock or so.

[Doug S]

On belt: Leatherman Crunch and Fox Pepper Spray

Left front pocket: Clipped to front left pocket either a Spyderco Endura 4, or Spyderco Delica 4. Inside left front pocket: Surefire E1e flashlight, Spyderco Ladybug w/attached Doug Ritter Freedom Photon, Fisher Bullet Pen, Sportsman Lighter

I work out of state, and there is no reciprocity agreement. When at work, without my CCW, some contents are switched from left pocket to right to even things out. Also the Endura is not legal there, so when at work I carry the Delica.

Right front pocket: Either a Kel-tec P32 or a Glock 26

Left rear pocket: Keys

Right rear pocket: Wallet

When outdoors I’ll add: Doug Ritter personal survival pack (contained in 4x5 waterproof ziplock vinyl pouch, includes: Spark-Lite™ Firestarter, 4 Spark-Lite™ Tinder-Quik™ , Fox-40® Rescue Howler™ Survival Whistle, Rescue Flash™ Signal Mirror, 20mm Survival Compass, Duct Tape, Stainless Steel Utility Wire, Braided Nylon Cord, #69 Black Nylon Thread, Fishing Kit, Heavy Duty Sewing Needle, 4 Safety Pins, Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil, #2 Pencil and Waterproof Notepaper, #22 Scalpel Blade, Kit Specific Illustrated Survival Instructions, Contents List, Fresnel Lens Magnifier

Here is a picture of my primary CCW stuff. From top: Fisher Bullet Pen, Doug Ritter Freedom Photon attached to Spyderco Ladybug w/Spyder edge blade, Spyderco Delica 4, Glock 26, Fox Pepper Spray, and Surefire Executive E1e. The pen isn't isn't carried for defensive purposes. It is carried because I often need a pen, at times when I wouldn't otherwise have one.

[TimboKhan]

The Iron Horse mentioned something that I forgot to mention: I also carry a stout metal pen whenever possible. It's handy to have something to write with, and it can certainly be used as a shiv if necessary. I also forgot to mention that I carry a Taurus 605. It's not in my pocket though....

[AgentWhatever]

Lighter, Cigarettes, matches, chewinggum, double ***** *****, flashlight, PhotonLight, UNLUBRICATED condoms (for other things as well), programmable radio ("scanner") (which latches onto the nearest transmitting source, so even if you're scrambled, I know when to keep an extra eye out), OTTO earplug, aluminum foil, cellphone, cash, credit cards, steel creditcard/smartcard container, handcuff keys, public restroom dispenser keys, national tourist lodge association universal key, ****** with 19 ****** in it, 72 ***** ******, coins, microscopic bottle of *** ***, half a ******** *** and 5 ******** *******, reporters writing pad, write-upside-down-underwater pen, warm thin ski-mask, thin leather gloves "bodysearch" type, re-usable emergency "space" blanket, disposable hearing-protector plugs, a bigger and s******* ******* *****, 2 s***d, 2 coal, 4 paracet, 2 chlorine, 4 iodine, 4 Imodium, and a RadDetect radiation detector, and sunglasses.

Oh yeah, and I know it doesn't count as "in your pocket", but; black dial, crystal-glass, brushed stainless steel wristwatch with compass, altimeter, barometer, chronometer, and some pretty useless functions like thermometer and alarm.

Hmmmm, I got an error message telling me to re-submit that post. But it turned up twice anyway.
Sorry.

[wooderson]

wallet, right-rear.
keys, right-front.
currently a Samsung Blackjack, left-front.

That's two more items than I'd prefer to carry at any given time.

once in a blue moon I'll carry a pocket knife, but the only time I generally need one I've got a sheetrock knife handy (they're great for opening CDs) in the truck or on the job.

[JackCrow]

[RubenZ]

Some of you guys are ridiculous LOL.


You have so much overlap in your knives its almost a negative because of the added weight and clutter.

I mean if you already carry a full-size leatherman, why have a mini leatherman? If you already have a 3.5" knife, why carry 2 more 3.5" knives, etc etc.


And YongingFreesty, I seriously hope you don't go out carrying like that. Thats too obvious.

Keys in front left, Cell Phone in Front Right with Benchmade Min-Rukus Knife, Wallet on Back Right

Left front:
Spyderco Native with pocket clip removed (to cut non-threatening stuff)
Pocket change
Fingernail clippers
Cherry ChapStik

Pocket flashlight, clipped (Cree 4 LED)

Right front:

Watch pocket- 5 rounds of Speer Gold Dot 135 gr. HP .38Spl in a speed strip with a Speer shot cartridge in the 6th space, or a spare magazine for a KelTec P3AT depending on which I'm carrying

Left rear- wallet and pocket comb

That's about it...

[CZ.22]

the Gerber has since been replaced by a CRKT-M16-01K7, the retainer case is gone, and I've added a Bic or similar pen to the mix.

[Famine]

You all crack me up. If every one of you actually carry that much crap in your pockets EVERY SINGLE DAY, then I guess you are just more manly than me (and I don't know anyone more manly than me other than my dad), LOL.

Here is what I have right now: nothing.

Here is what I had earlier today when I went to a work party: one key ring with 3 keys.

Here is what I had this morning when I was riding my Harley for fun: wallet (inside of wallet was licence, insurance, 1 debit card, BCBS card, and lint).

Here is what I had in my pockets yesterday when I did a drywall job in the ghetto: wallet (same contents as above).



Again, you guys crack me up.:D

[Fred Fuller]

Crack you up, humpf. Shows what YOU know about serious tacticality.

That pocket change I carry, for example. It's not just ordinary coins. It's TACTICAL pocket change. It's made out of intelligent metal, and can tell the difference in velocity between being dropped in a vending machine and thrown full force into an attacker's face.

If thrown full force it streamlines itself into a miniature flying disc with sharp edges the better to rip and slice your attacker. The quarters even turn into miniature ninja throwing stars.

So don't you be messin' with all us ubertactical folk here.

:D

lpl/nc

[Vonderek]

All I got is this piece of hard rock candy. But it ain't for eating, it's just for lookin' through.

[Mandirigma]

If I could carry duct tape in my pocket I would.

Take a #2 pencil, or alternately a golf pencil, sharpen it down to a little more than the width of the duct tape. Take duct tape and wrap around pencil until you reach your desired thickness.



As for what I carry every day.

On belt Breed Tanto, Graham Knives Razel, Cellphone, 1991

Left pocket: Money Clip, Keys, Spare Mag, Cheapo Pen clipped to lip of pocket
Right pocket: Alternate Money Clip ($5-$100 +old license + old debit cards) Bic Lighter, Spare mag


Alternate money clip is something like a fake wallet or throw down, but I actually get use out of mine. I use binder clips for my money clips, they are durable and don't really lose tension from a thick stack of bills. I do all my day to day business from the alternate. Gas, Gum, Bottle water, whatever.

Also I protect my mags by putting them in old Hoffners minimalist single mag carriers, that I've broken in the past and dremel'd the belt loops off. Simple enough to catch them as I draw them out of the pocket and easy enough to flick off with a thumb if the mag holder clears the pocket.

[RustyHammer]

>Keys
>Cell Phone
>Wallet with IDs, Credit Cards, bandaids, 2 x quarters
>Memorex 1 Gig Money Clip with $500 cash and 1 Gig of Flash memory (rolodex, maps, banking information, credit cards numbers, mortgage information, *.pdfs of birth certificates, DD 214, photographs, music, etc.
>Gerber Clutch Multi-tool
>Watch (on my wrist)
>Good lucK charm (gold pendant on rope chain) - also ID's me
>Ink Pen

>Pocket Knife

[Coyote3855]

I think I know you... Aren't you the guy who asked to borrow my Trapper to open that Fed Ex box sealed with filament tape? And then wanted my clippers to fix a hangnail? And my Digilight to look for the pen you dropped under the desk? And my Leatherman to tighten the battery clamps when your car wouldn't start? And then we used my cell phone to call AAA when the car still wouldn't start? You ain't getting my chapstick, I don't know who you kissed last.

There's a lot to be said for traveling light. I agree that some of the lists in the thread are mind boggling. My Uncle Roy said it's better to have it and not need it than...you know the rest.

So yeah, I also have a shovel, a snatch strap, jumper cables, a Handyman jack, a tire pump, a rain coat and a tool kit in my Jeep. That probably cracks you up as well. But I'd pull your sorry unprepared butt out of the ditch if you needed help.

Regards,

Coyote

Here is what I had this morning when I was riding my Harley for fun: wallet (inside of wallet was licence, insurance, 1 debit card, BCBS card, and lint).

Here is what I had in my pockets yesterday when I did a drywall job in the ghetto: wallet (same contents as above).



Again, you guys crack me up.

If we crack you up this guy's gonna make you fall in half..

This guy carries 1300 items every day (http://ericlefou.1.online.fr/MES_TRUCS/MESobjets/Mon_equipement/photos.htm)

This guy carries 1300 items every day

Ok, he wins!:eek:

But, I didn't see a spork.:evil:

[Famine]

I think I know you... Aren't you the guy who asked to borrow my Trapper to open that Fed Ex box sealed with filament tape? And then wanted my clippers to fix a hangnail? And my Digilight to look for the pen you dropped under the desk? And my Leatherman to tighten the battery clamps when your car wouldn't start? And then we used my cell phone to call AAA when the car still wouldn't start? You ain't getting my chapstick, I don't know who you kissed last.

There's a lot to be said for traveling light. I agree that some of the lists in the thread are mind boggling. My Uncle Roy said it's better to have it and not need it than...you know the rest.

So yeah, I also have a shovel, a snatch strap, jumper cables, a Handyman jack, a tire pump, a rain coat and a tool kit in my Jeep. That probably cracks you up as well. But I'd pull your sorry unprepared butt out of the ditch if you needed help.


The thread is "What gear do you always carry in your pockets." I'd bet my left gonad that 90% of the folks on here right now who say they carry 2-3 guns, and 2-3 knives, and 2-3 other 16oz weapons don't really carry them "always" like the thread asks. But I'm just bustin chops. No sweat.

As for traveling light, what can I say? Before I leave the house, I make sure all the hangnails are trimmed, shoes are tied with good lace, and all phone calls already made. (I actually just got rid of my cell phone last year. I've had one for nearly 10 years, but I'm done. I was paying money just so the wife can call me to tell me she misses me? That's not worth $35. I sold it and haven't looked back.) I also have a fair amount of stuff in each vehicle that I drive, but the question wasn't "what do you carry in your car." And I certainly have all of these items available to me in the house. There is a flashlight, knife, and magizine in every room of my house.

[hso]

I don't have much more in my pockets right now than Famine does.

Sebenza

Keys with Peak LED Solutions white flashlight and red photon

Small wallet for cards and permits and ID (and a couple of bandaids and a credit card size sheet of hypafix)

Bandanna

Cell phone

Space Pen

Cash




Oh yeah, bifocals.

[omcjf]

This is an interesting thread. Fun to see what others carry. For me right now;

left front: small pocket knife and can of Copenhagen.
right front: lockblade knife and kubaton.
right rear: nothing
left rear: wallet ( nearly empty )

[hso]

Welcome to THR, omcjf.

That "nearly empty" thing with the wallet gets to be more prominent the more you hang out with the knife crowd here. ;)

[dmftoy1]

LOL - love the comment about the cell phone so the wife can call and tell you she misses you. (Mine's exactly the same. :) )

Ok, here's mine:

left front - leatherman charge ti
right front - keys to my truck and some cash
left rear - wallet
right leg - cell phone.

I can't say the cell phone is absolutely 100% in my pocket because when I'm rolling around under a trailer or wrestling with the tractor some such I'm afraid I'll break it but it's there 90% or better . .especially when I'm using the chainsaw.

I don't know how people could carry everything they show and still function. I'm always crawling under or over something to fix something else . ... if I had that much crap in my pockets I couldn't bend I don't think. :)

[frankinaug]

Today is off day so I've got on cargos today. Normally I don't carry the Ipod or the sunglasses but I just went for a decent walk. Just emptied the cargo pants pockets.

Right Front: Keys attached to a kubaton
Right Cargo: Motorola Q Smartphone with 2gb Mini SD card
Left Front: Surefire E1L, Ipod Nano w earbuds

[SIRVEYR666]

How much extra weight do you carry? (http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=225564)

I still carry the same amount of crap. What really is a PITA is when I wear my regular pants and don't carry my pistol. I feel like one of the local hood rats, with my pants fallin' off of my ass!:cuss: I need that extra 2" to fill out the waist band.

[collateral]

In the summer months, I almost always wear khaki shorts with the side cargo pockets.
I carry:
a mini-mag in the left side cargo pocket.
wallet in my left rear pocket
whatever folder i grab in the morning in my left front pocket
a multitool in my right cargo pocket
marlboro mediums and a lighter in my right front pocket

thats about it.

[Mat, not doormat]

It's kind of interesting how many of use carry all this gear for self defense, and also carry cigarettes. I'm as guilty of it as anyone, but it is kind of ironic.

keys and billfold

[PTK]

I will generally carry a medium length (3-4") folding knife, a small (1.5-2") folding knife, my wallet, a Surefire light, my cellphone, Sabre pepperspray, a lighter, a multi-tool and, depending on where I am, an implement of destruction (revolver, pistol, whatever I feel like that day)

[highfive]

Well the thread is What Gear Do You Always Carry in Your Pockets? not what are you carrying right now, because right now I don't even have pockets, lol I'm at home sitting in my computer in shorts. :D

I usually carry, Right front. Money (if I have any), Kershaw knife clipped
Left front-- cell phone, (for my wife to call me) :D change if I have any. keys
Left rear-- wallet
Right rear-- usually nothing
Clip in my belt a taurus 627 and a speedloader or my PT-111 and a spare mag

I thought I carry a lot but I hope some of you guys have very good belts because you guys are carrying a lot of weight.

[p35]

Wallet, keys, knife (usually a CRKT Mirage with the Wharncliffe blade, Kershaw Leek, or Camillus hawkbill, although I have a lot of other choices), Ronson Standard lighter- don't smoke but I like to have a source of fire anyway-nail clippers, cell phone, a couple-few pens (Office Depot sells the ultimate gel pen as a Foray retractable, and some of my collection of hundreds of fountain pens) and if I can get away with it a Beretta 21A and a German Sipo police spring baton vertical next to my wallet. Heavier artillery stays in the car and goes in the belt as needed or opportunity permits. My job takes me through a lot of metal detectors so I have to be judicious as to what I carry at any given time.

[Geno]

This is very difficult for me, because it depends on where I am traveling, why and for how long.

[usmccpl]

Right front pocket Spyderco Police, work keys,Bic lighter,money
Left front pocket Kershaw Chive,house/truck keys,Zippo lighter
Right rear pocket Wallet
Left rear pocket Buck 110
breast pocket Marlboro 27s,sunglasses
when I get my CCP I will add to this

[xMetal]

This is almost always what I have. Try to keep it pretty simple and light. Occasionally I'll add a small Surefire, but only if it's dark when I head out for a walk or something.

http://www.modernjoe.com/images/Packin.jpg

Left front pocket: iPhone
Right front: wallet, keys, Sebenza clipped
CTAC w/ P2000sk at 3:30 on Wilderness Instructor belt

Outside of my pockets I have a watch and sunglasses 90% of the time.

[Corndogg]

cell phone (crap motorola razr)
keys on small carabiner
wallet
usually smokes & lighter
then depending on the situation, either my Emerson HD-7, Chris Reeve small Classic Sebenza with cocobolo wood inlay, or soon the MOD Massad Ayoob Razorback.

[gryphon]

benchmade folder, wallet, 1gb jump drive, assorted change, pocket lint.

[USGuns]

Someone needs to come up with something more manly than a fanny pack but not too big or obvious to carry all this stuff!
Whenever I carry too much in my pockets my pants sag, sitting down can be dangerous, pockets bulge, etc. Every manly bag/pack I've seen is either way too big and/or purse-like.

Anyone found anything that is "relatively" small, convenient, manly, etc... ???

[conwict]

Kershaw Leek
Wallet
Keys
Kubaton (not attached to keys)
S&W 642 (soon) in Mika holster
Cell phone

USGuns, I'm looking for something that I saw in a recent edition of Outside mag, let me see if I can find it.

[conwict]

Not what I was originally thinking of, but this thing is nice, and the price is decent.

Don't fall into the "I carry a flashlight if it's night time" trap. There are many possibilities where you might need a flashlight in the daytime. Be prepared for the unexpected.

Benchmade Monochrome, clipped in waistband, small Gerber multitool front right pocket, Zippo front right pocket (non-smoker), wallet back right, folded bandana back left, cell phone front left, Surefire G2 front left. Keys and change front right.

[07Lway]

Front Left Pocket: Wallet and Keys

Front Right Pocket: Gerber 3" folder and Cell Phone

Back Right Pocket: This seems to be the pocket that all my used paper towels goes into.

Back Left Pocket: Nothing

You will never find my leaving the house with less then that. Sometimes I add a flashlight, mp3 player, and lighter. I do not carry because I am not old enough yet. When I do I will probably start using a belt for the phone and knife, and carry my wallet in one pocket and CCW in the other.

[researchanddestroy]

occasionally an ipod or crkt desert cruiser too.:D

[GAC]

Two pocket knives- Spyderco Endura and a CRKT M16 - and my keys.

I used to carry just one knife then figured a spare couldn't hurt. I'll probably end up carrying just one knife.

[K9 PO]

Right front pocket: keys, extra battery for cell phone.

Right rear pocket: Wallet.

Left rear pocket: Treo Smartphone and/or Scorpion light.

Left front pocket: L.E. ID, car keys.

The above is my summertime attire. Cooler weather permits me to distribute above items more evenly in my coat or jacket with extra ammunition. Ill provide pics another day. When the wife is with me she carries a nail clipper, pepper spray, and 2 speedloaders. Trying to incorporate a pair of brass knuckles into this equation but I fear I might be over doing it.

[Pax Jordana]

Well, if we had kids.....I'm sure we'd be able to pack on a few more rounds and maybe another firearm or two....But being we live in NYC...=T.

Shirt or jacket pocket - cell phone

Sometimes:
Leatherman Juice
IWB S&W 60 (someday to be replaced by a less obtrusive Seecamp in a pocket holster in the left front pocket, in which case I'll have to juggle everything around again) :)

I would like to have made a small leather pouch for my belt with two compartments running vertically, holding the Surefire in one and a small folder or the Leatherman in the other, closed by a flap. Any ideas on a leather craftsman I could contact?

[hso]

Lifter4him (http://hometown.aol.com/lifter4Him1/index.html) can make those for you.
