I've been thinking about this for awhile now, and I think I carry too much "stuff", but it seems as soon as I leave something behind I need it...

Front Right pocket: Car key, money clip with cash, microfiber cloth for my glasses.
Rear Right pocket: empty
Rear Left pocket: wallet, Quark AA2 light
Front Right pocket: lip balm, house keys, a Case Logic neoprene case for two flash drives that contains my nail clippers and tweezers.

On my belt: ~9:00 my phone in a Maxpedition CP-M.

I've thought about carrying my phone and / or a pocket pistol in my left front, but I'm not sure where I'd put my other stuff. :confused:

Front right: keys, folder, lighter
Front left: cell phone, pen, spare mag if I'm carrying one
Back right: wallet
Back left: notepad

FWIW, I'm right hand dominant for things like shooting, throwing a ball, playing guitar, etc, but very left hand dominant for more precise things like writing. Hence the writing utensil and pad on that side.

Front right pocket: Strider PT, HTC EVO
Front left pocket: Surefire LX2, car keys
Back right pocket: Wallet


If i am carrying my 442 in a pocket holster, the gun goes in the right pocket if its my primary, or left if its running as a BUG, when that happens its the only thing in that pocket.

One of the absolutely great things about Papua New Guinea is that I can carry a bag of some sort, and not get mocked for my "purse", er, messenger bag.

So:
Front top left pocket: wallet, phone (clipped)
Front top right pocket: Gerber knife
Front bottom right pocket: keys
Shirt pocket: car keys (in town)

In the messenger bag (cheap Chinese made):
-Collapsible baton in water bottle pocket (sits right under my right hand when the bag is around my sholder)
-Hand sanitizer in same pocket (keeps it from moving around or falling out)
-Plastic clipboard thing that opens up- in which I carry a checkbook, Purchase order book, pen, and any receipts.
-Ziploc baggie full of PNG coins
-Book for reading

I often pocket carry a PM9 as a primary or a BUG so nothing ever goes in my right front pocket except dangerous things.
Even if I'm not carrying a gun or knife at the time, nothing get's put in my rt. front pocket unless it pokes holes or cuts.

Rt. front: Kahr PM9 or Spyderco Endura wave
Lt. front: Wallet and cell phone, small Benchmade folder utility knife and Surefire E1E clipped to pocket
Lt. rear: spare magazine in a DeSantis "Mag-packer"
Rt. rear: keys

I often wear carpenter style pants and will carry the Spyderco in the lower rt. "ruler pocket" rather than the front pocket.

I run a minimalist wallet. Basically ID, CCW, debit and 1 CC, $20-$100.
I also run a minimalist key ring with just a car and house key.
