Man, this is a ghey thread.

On a daily basis I carry:

- a wallet with minimal stuff in it....in fact, when was the last time I was at Blockbuster? Need to thin that again. But I can't take out my PCA card, I actually *use* that. LOL
- a swiss army knife... a victorinox since that what I have always had unless I lose it again: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?t=358988&highlight=victorinox
- the key to whatever car I'm driving.
- my cell phone/pda combo.....planning to go back to just a phone shortly.

I don't even carry a house key, I come in through the garage. I don't lock the door to the house from the garage since anyone who gets into the garage has free reign of the garage and all my tools. This includes me if I got locked out. If the power is out, I have rocks in the garden to break a window and get in.

On the weekdays, I put all the other crap in my laptop bag...memory sticks, cord, ipod, etc. I don't need that stuff on the weekends. If I have to take the ipod somewhere on the weekend, I carry it in my hand like a man. Like an idiot.

Okay...be lookin' ghey...

Rick, I see a need for the other items, but why a cell phone? I figure since even school kids have them these days, I can borrow one if there is a real need...

I used to joke with a guy from work that the "cool" alternative to a pocket protector would be a shoulder holster. I could put pens and a PDA in there. Problem is, the terrorists have ruined that.

Nobody wants to call you Paul, so you still don't need one. The rest of us have friends.

[Rick Lee]

Here's what I have on today.



Unless you have to bring a laptop with you, I don't see a need for anything more than this.

Why do you need two devices to tell you it is 11:20 p.m.?

[Ned, NYNA11]

I have a LeSac, over the shoulder with plenty zippered pockets.

Call it my Fxx bag.

It is really good though even though, like walking the poodle, ya gotta be brave.

[MichiganMat]

I suggest either:

Timbuk2: http://www.manhattanportage.com/



or:

Manhattan Portage: http://www.timbuk2.com/tb2/products/home




Two very hip man-bags to suit your every need. I have a TimBuk2 and its rad.

I usually leave my cell phone in the car and mechanical watches are far more reliable than cell phones anyway.

[Tim Walsh]

When it comes to minimalist carried items, I'm not too bad, here's what I carried today, minus the cell phone that I used to take the pic.


And the laptop in question:

[trekkor]

I use a fanny pack that almost always stays in the truck.

It is a good place to keep my reciepts, wallet, pen etc.
I rarely carry it. Just into a store/Home Depot from time to time.


I hate to say 'fanny pack' out loud...

Sounds like a gay sex act.

If you gotta go down that street, you might as well go in style.

[m21sniper]

The only forms of personal storage i use are pockets/briefcase/Ranger Ruck, depending on how much stuff i have to haul.

I have the boy this weekend. The more into summer it gets the harder it is for me - I want to ride the bike but I'm going going through the desert in July or August...

[71T Targa]

I'm starting to lean towards the 'waist' (ie fanny) packs. Maybe something like http://www.rei.com/product/747710
