“Testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch”

Keys, glasses, wallet, and phone.

Shoes and shirt, or no service otherwise.

Well sometimes nothing if I am with my husband, that is so awesome. But if it’s just me - keys and phone are my usual gear, phone can pay for stuff. Bike lock if I am on the bike; purse with all my purse stuff if I’m driving the car.

Stuff in my purse is wallet with ID and cards, vitamins and medicines, hair stuff and lip balm, sunscreen, a Rubik’s Cube, a crow whistle and dice, glasses cleaner and sometimes sunglasses.

It’s funny, for years my list was keys, wallet, and phone, and of those it’s the keys that go back the furthest. I had a key to my parents house when I was a young teen, and I’ve always carried keys with me since (I’m in my 60s now). I sold my house a couple months ago, and I’ve been living in a hotel until I close on a condo, and it feels so strange not to own any keys now, just the key card for the hotel.

I have ADHD so I get rid of most problems by literally tying things to myself. I have a second belt which goers over my pants and have a hip bag attached to it. In that I have the following;

Disposable nitrile gloves (3-4 pairs)

Hand sanitiser

Power bank (10000mAh)

USB C cable

Thumb drives (one with kids shows, one with software, one blank)

USB A to C adapter

Wallet

ID lanyard

Emergency cash (not in wallet because if I lose my wallet I still have my cash)

Tissues

Aspirin, paracetamol, and ibuprofen

Ritalin

Plastic bags for rubbish

Nasal inhaler (for blocked nose, long term issue)

Car and house keys (attached on a clip, not inside)

Then I have my pockets for phones (I have 2), wireless headphones, and anything else for the day.

By keeping my keys attached I cannot get in the car without my belt bag.

Clothes, unfortunately. If I go out nude, the nation will bankrupt itself trying to get a front-row viewing of this show~

Keys, wallet, phone, vape. Pants are optional, but they do help with carrying the other stuff.

I have a sling bag that keeps everything I EDC other than my phone and knife. So phone, knife, and bag is all I think of before leaving home. In my bag:

• EpiPen
• Wallet
• Keys
• Currently my newborn’s temp health card
• Leatherman
• Meds (pain meds, nausea meds, etc)

I’d like to get a decent flashlight and a decent pair of earbuds (either wireless or USB-C wired) so those probably in the near future. Otherwise I think that’s it other than random misc stuff I need to take out (receipts etc).

Obviously also stuff I wear (clothes, wedding ring, watch) but that’s always on.

I keep most of my “EDC” stuff in my bag — chapstick, keys, hand sani, etc.

If I’m going out for a while and I expect it to get dark, I like to pack a flashlight.

I used to carry a knife but sometimes it makes going into bars and clubs awkward so I usually leave it at home now

keys, wallet, bookbag containing medication, e-bike charger, tools to fix flat bike tire, steam deck, phone, and bluetooth earbuds.

Keys, wallet, phone. Depending on where I’m going, shopping bags, emotional support toy

The ideal list of stuff (sometime I forget or not have time):

• Phone
• Keys
• Pepper Spray (am a non-white dude, live in US, but don’t feel ready to carry a gun yet, don’t wanna get too depressed and shoot myself lol)
• wireless earbuds
• some hand sanitizers to clean my hands in case I need to touch a bathroom doorknob and there’s no paper towel to let me open it without getting nasty shit on my hand (anyone else germophobic?),
• hopefully I remember my power bank and the cable

Needed: keys.
Optional: wallet, phone
