I worked in an off license and bars in my teens and always got used to carrying a bottle opener (corkscrew, beer bottle opener and small blade). In my later teens I always had a swiss army knife. I grew up in the countryside and was always footering at wee projects here and there and loved the versatility of the tool. I've progressed to a Leatherman and absolutely love it. When I was a younger man and hunted and kept dogs I always had bailer twine in my coats! You never knew when a loose dog needed caught (or so went the thinking!)
I don't wear a watch. If we were going out hiking I would bring a small backpack with a first aid kit and we have a first aid kit in the cars.
I have a small rigid wallet that only holds 10 cards and has a money clip. I got it because I was tired of a bulky wallet and this one is also RFID blocking.
Interested to see what others carry most of the time and why?
Colt 45 Peacemaker!
A big stick. (I speak softly.)
Iceman - can you give me details of the wallet? I hate a bulky wallet but can't seem to find a slim one.

You'll find similar ones on Amazon at cheaper prices. Fits easily in to front pocket, hold the cards you need and notes slide under the clip. I haven't carried coins since my teens they always went in to a jar in the kitchen for my Ma
Thanks Iceman.

I'd imagine a condom for a lot of people?

Surely a condom is designed to ensure that there are not a lot of people.
Phone, wallet and keys

No small people in particular
Few on here carry a chip on their shoulders 😜
Elastic band and a paperclip.

There would be no point in having a subliminal message if I told everyone what it was.

Wise to speak softly, you might scare the cattle.

I've always been a money clip guy in the USA, but it just does'nt work for me at home due to the size of the notes in the north.
Anyone carry a torch?
Penlights very useful

Phones are used as a torch nowadays.

only if away hiking - carry a few extra things when away from the car or the house for an extended period of time. Have a north face back pack and I'd have a torch in there a small hatchet, first aid kit and some food and water.
I keep one of these (https://www.ebay.ie/itm/Car-Escape-Tool-Mini-Emergency-Safety-Hammer-Keychain-Belt-Window-Breaker-Cutter/122868737713?hash=item1c9b8c26b1:g:cEMAAOSwH09ZGH5J:rk:1:pf:0) in the cars.

I use a slim cigarette case as a wallet. Pig enough for cards and folded dollar bills. Found I couldn't use it for paper money in Ireland because Euro and Sterling notes are too big.
A comb and sandwiches.

Very ungender specific there
