    Default Some things you should carry with you besides your firearm

    These are some of the "other" things I carry with me whenever I'm either OC or CC.

    Other than the 'normal' Wallet and Keys. (I keep my LTCF in my wallet so it's not on the other list)

    Cell Phone, always
    Digital Voice Recorder
    Folding knife
    Led Flashlight
    PA OC Flyers

    What else do you carrry with you daily?

    I actually have the copy of my LTCF, my Drivers License and one Credit Card in a little leather pouch that is just big enough to hold those three. That minimalist wallet is in one of my front pockets. Should I really have to surrender my fat main wallet without having a chance to draw, I at least don't get stranded without anything at all.

    Still looking for a 9mm single stack mag pouch to carry a spare.

    How do you guys carry so much stuff? Once I have my keys, my wallet and phone, I barely have space for a 1/2 oz OC.

    Default Re: Some things you should carry with you besides your firearm

    Usually, all i carry on me is:

    -Holster that my firearm is in
    -Cell Phone (very important tool when your CCing OR OCing)
    -Wallet (which has my LTCF and DL, but never more than $20 cash in it)
    -Sometimes a backup piece (Kahr PM9)


    Thats all i really need, i've got my defense (Firearm), i've got my communication (Cell Phone), and i've got my credentials (Wallet with DL and LTCF). Yes, i'm quite the minimalist, pretty much all across the board regarding everything in life. Simple = Better.

    I remember that other picture thread about what people carry with them, and i was taken back at how much stuff alot of you guys carry with you! Some of you are prepared for fucking war!

    oh man...what's been listed so far is nothing. here is an inventory of what i carry around with me:

    wallet
    keys
    wristwatch
    glock 17
    extra mag
    surefire G2
    exta batteries for G2
    leatherman
    gerber EVO folding knife
    contact lens rewetting drops
    clif bar
    small notepad and pen
    emergency poncho
    bic lighter
    flint
    petroleum jelly impregnated dryer lint
    12-hour candle
    water purification tablets
    compass
    lock pick set
    plastic garbage bag
    small first aid kit:
    -assorted size band-aids
    -couple 3x3 guaze pads
    -5x9 surgical pad
    -4x4 square of cellophane
    -couple neosporin packets
    -couple alcohol wipes
    -non-latex medical gloves
    -packet of celox
    -mole skin
    -cloth tape
    -ibuprofen tablets
    -antihistamine tablets

    the only things on my belt are the g17 and spare mag. folding knife in one front pocket, keys and multitool in the other front pocket. everything else fits easily into two cargo pockets. most of it goes into two little waterproof pouches, so it is quick and easy to put it in or take it out of the pockets.

    i fully admit that i go overboard, but i got the pocket space, so why not? and i have actually used (or someone else has borrowed) most of this stuff at one point or another.

    anyway, if you trade in your jeans for cargo pants/shorts, you can carry an amazing amount of stuff around with you easily...if you want to.

    Wowser. Do you have some kind of pocket organizer, or just throw it all in?

    EDIT: You mentioned pouches, what kind?
