Interesting thread.
Here's mine in no particular order:
* Spyderco Manix 2 (thanks to J Shirley)
* 5.5" metal kubotan (thanks to Conwict)
* smart phone with txt msg, email and Internet
* Five Seven Quark 123
* Keys on a clip from my left side
* A
short stick - 16", 18" (mostly) or 20" depending on which pack I carry
* Wallet with cards, and $20 to $50
* If it's bright and sunny, sunglasses
* Fanny pack or day pack (
never leave home without one); inside: stashed extra layers and rain gear as needed; canteen; toiletries, first aid, (bike repair if on bike), small stuff sack with essentials for camp
* Compass (have carried it since I was 6; I'm now 60)
* Extra layers, depending on the day - something from vest and rain shell to serious fleece and a heavy winter Carhartt with hood.
