I don't need keys to drive or enter my house. I haven't carried a wallet in about a decade. I rarely have cash. I may carry a credit card if I'm going to a home improvement store, but I can use my phone to get gas and other minor purchases.

I used to walk around with janitor like keys. No mas!

That’s a nice knife. I have a Benchmade Phaeton OTF style knife but don’t carry it everyday. My go to of late has been the Kershaw Launch 14. Generally don’t carry a wallet but when I do it’s a leather style with an Erin Hills embossed logo. I have two watches ( Ball and Tag Heuer) but generally don’t wear them unless I’m getting dressed up to go somewhere. IPhone 12 with a Star Wars Stormtrooper Pop Socket.

Ridge wallet - no cash
Keys for vehicle, house and work desk (I lock my desk at work)
Cell phone
Edit: Fitbit unless I’m wearing a watch then it’s Breitling or Rolex watch.
I wear a crucifix around my neck, only take it off when required (surgery for example)
Wedding ring

That’s it.

Post subject:  Re: Your every day carry

Pretty similar...

Wallet with two credit cards, one debit card to an account that only has $210 in it at any point in time, DL, and about $40 in cash.
Keys (car, home, mailbox)
Fitbit watch. I do have a nicer watch my father gave me for my 50th birthday, but I only wear that if I'm going to a wedding or similar.
Two pieces of jewelry
Smartphone
If I'm in the car, a water bottle.

I don't carry a knife because I used to fly a tremendous amount and TSA frowns upon it. This reminds me to toss a knife in my car's glove compartment.

If I am going out for a walk at night, I have a small but powerful flashlight.

They carried USO stationery and pencils and pens. They carried Sterno, safety pins, trip flares,
signal flares, spools of wire, razor blades, chewing tobacco, liberated joss sticks and statuettes of the smiling Buddha, candles, grease pencils, The Stars and Stripes, fingernail clippers, Psy Ops leaflets, bush hats, bolos, and much more. Twice a week, when the resupply choppers came in, they carried hot chow in green mermite cans and large canvas bags filled with iced beer and soda pop. They carried plastic water containers, each with a 2-gallon capacity. Mitchell Sanders carried a set of starched tiger fatigues for special occasions. Henry Dobbins carried Black Flag insecticide. Dave Jensen carried empty sandbags that could be filled at night for added protection. Lee Strunk carried tanning lotion. Some things they carried in common. Taking turns, they carried the big PRC-77 scrambler radio, which weighed 30 pounds with its battery. They shared the weight of memory. They took up what others could no longer bear. Often, they carried each other, the wounded or weak. They carried infections. They carried chess sets, basketballs, Vietnamese-English dictionaries, insignia of rank, Bronze Stars
and Purple Hearts, plastic cards imprinted with the Code of Conduct. They carried diseases, among them malaria and dysentery. They carried lice and ringworm and leeches and paddy algae and various rots and molds. They carried the land itself—Vietnam, the place, the soil—a powdery orange-red dust that covered their boots and fatigues and faces. They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere, they carried it, the humidity, the monsoons, the stink of fungus and decay, all of it, they carried gravity.

Yeah Benchmade makes a really nice knife. The bitch of it is sharpening this one. It's a chisel grind so it's a tough knife to sharpen.

It has its moments. Some of those moments are bad ones, though.

I taught it in high school, and it was a big hit. I left a few chapters out, though. We had fun with "story truth" and his chapter about whether draft-dodging took guts or meant that you were a coward. Kids who never read read this one.

Going after Cacciato was a weird book.

It's been about 16 years since I've read it, and I can't remember exactly what I didn't like about it. I think it might have been too focused on people's thoughts and not focused enough on the things that were actually happening to those people, but at this point I'm not sure if I'm confusing it with something else. It's cool that the kids got a kick out of it.
