"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.

Ok. I usually never wear pants with fewer than six pockets. Left Thigh is mobile phone and extra space. Left front pocket is keys and my 5.11 freebie knife. 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.

Gerber assisted opening knife, wallet, book o matches, tiny MagLite (solitaire) cell phone, retainer case
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.

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....

In my pockets.
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.
- Fill in the blanks!

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

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.

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.
I carry:
Keys in front left, Cell Phone in Front Right with Benchmade Min-Rukus Knife, Wallet on Back Right
thats it.
