My first post to the forum, hello everyone!

I am in Chicago, pretty urban, so here goes:

Wallet (full of stuff, plastic and paper, not necessarily money <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>)
Palm VIIx
Pen, a cheap one I adore
Yellow highlighter
Comb, very colorful one, btw
Sunglasses
Penguin caffeinated mints
Portable kleenex bag
Spyderco Q spyder knife (my pride and joy)
Leatherman micra, just in case in need scissors
Wenger knife, more fun tools
Buck knife (sometimes), yet another one, I am passionate about carrying my knives
Book, any of my current readings
Notebook, for my thoughts
Compact, pressed powder, I am a girl, after all
Blistex lipbalm, my only make-up
Travel toothbrush
Game boy (sometimes), when I know it will be a long train or car ride
Map
Compass, Victorinox, to find myself
Portable anorak, in case it rains
Crushable hat, in case it shines
Eyedrops
Flashlight, to explore darker places
Floppies, just in case
Foldable walking stick
Binoculars
Camera
Keys

That about makes it. Sometimes it varies but most of the time I do carry all that. If I am not carrying my daily backpack, but rather a purse, I always take my Spyderco with me. We two are one. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Hi Kahz, welcome to the forum.
This has restored my faith in what &quot;stuff&quot; women carry in their bags, some surprising useful stuff in there. No wonder it hurts when my girlfriend hits me with her bag <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>

Very interesting posts - good to see what others are luggin around.

It reminds me a bit of the funny scene in &quot;Line of Fire&quot; when Clint is about to get into bed with fellow SS agent Rene Russo - and in the disrobing process all sorts of their daily carry stuff drops to the floor- ASP batons, radios, cuffs, etc etc.

Anyway here's my list:

Chrome Fisher Bullet Space Pen (if you havn't got one of these - you must check them out - I got mine from http://www.thewritersedge.com - they had excellent service and good prices)

Leatherman Micra, ASP Sapphire and 150kg rated carribiner on keyring.

Leatherman Sideclip - I have found this perfect for discreet SOB carry - without having a bulky conspicous belt pouch.

Surefire 3P in a pocket - will be upgrading to the Surefire E1 very soon - much smaller and with pocketclip.

Palm Vx &amp; Ericsson T28

and whatever Spyderco suits the mood/surroundings for the day of course.

[Glockdriver]

Right front pocket:
Wegner 40/60

Left front pocket:
SAK with micron light attached
Spare change
Car keys

Somewhere on the person:
Glock 34 &amp; 3 mags
52 rds of Speer Gold Dot 124 gr +P

Anything else is just window dressing (unless you count the Aimpoint equipped CAR-15 in the trunk)

[Brandon]

Wow you guys carry a lot of stuff. I'm In hawaii so i guess not to urban just chillin out. anyway here's my list...
