- Leatherman. I carry a Wave. Got a Gerber and a couple others, but the original (this replaced my 1st gen) is best.
- Pen & notepad. Always having your own pen that is kept full, and some paper to write someone a physical note, is an amazing superpower.
- Face masks. COVID is still a thing, don’t be dumb. Also carry hand sanitizer or alcohol wipes.
- Flashlight. I have a small tube 9-LED that’s usually in there, but also a 1-LED watch battery thing for the keychain, and I’ve got a few more around here. Yes your phone has a flash that can be kept on, but it burns battery, and is often awkward. Having light whenever is magic.
- Switchblade, survival knife, folding knife, etc. Defensive uses, but also heavier utility knife than the Leatherman.
- Pepper spray, derringer, etc. if you live in a dangerous area.
- Survival kit. This is more of a backpack item. Get a tiny survival, first aid, etc. kit, there’s a million uses for having some cord, bandages, shiny foil blanket, etc.
- Cigarette lighter or box of matches. Even if you don’t smoke, being able to make fire is another magic skill. I keep this with the survival kit.
- Headphones, I have slightly-better-than-earbuds tucked in my coat. Noisy annoying people just stop being a problem.
And then my phone, keys, wallet, shades. Yes, I buy clothes with a lot of pockets.
Do you carry a fuckin lifejacket too mate, fuck me if you fall into water you’ll sink like a stone
Do you rattle when you walk 😂😂
