Why does everyone have so many flashlights and knives? Where are they going?

The guy that made his keys into a swiss army type knife was actually quite innovative.

some of them are ready for spontaneous guerilla warfare

I do carry and highly reccomend this tool

IMO the best multitool out there

If this thing is not on my side when I am working I feel helpless and lost

My pocket contents have become an OCD obsession, and I've got a checklist in my head I go through before leaving the house to make sure everything is accounted for.

If I include the leatherman multi tool on my belt which has several blades, I have 4 items with blades on me at any given time. (Pocket knife, small Swiss Army knife, and a fingernail clipper multi tool)

Not to mention the coins, wallets, even a laser pointer that is always in the right front pocket (which can shine a "War Eagle" as well as a single point).

It's a sickness, and my pockets are always bulged out, especially in shorts.

But... except for my phone and the leatherman which are on my belt, everything is in pockets. I'd never consider carrying any type of bag, pouch or fucking man-purse. If it ever gets to that point, I'll just end it.

I used to carry the original Leatherman, but I got dissapointed when I first used it to loosen a screw and the screwdriver bent. I'm sure they went up in quality since then (20 years ago).

Check out some of the stuff these flashlight guys have in their pockets. This is another board, and some of this stuff I have to admit is cool.

I love that board.....its great fun.

Anyway. I only carry two things in my pocket if im not wearing a hoodie.

Phone in left and then keys in the right. But i put the keyless entry fob in to the small coin pocket on the right. then i dont have to shove the entire keys in my pocket. I hate things in my pockets.

I stopped carrying a leatherman - not on my person, in my equipment bag - because TSA kept taking them away. I'd forget to take it out and put it in my checked baggage, and once you go through the xray, they have to take it.

I somewhere have a titanium key shaped screwdriver that's meant to fit on your keyring. I do carry a folding knife with a pocket clip. I like the idea of a keychain pry bar, so that if I needed to try and open something, I wouldn't be tempted to use a key and break it.
On my keyring is a mini flashlight. But these people are packing way more than me. I notice they have unusual cell phones and carry cases.

I put my wallet and my keys in one front pocket, phone in the other front pocket sometimes. That's it. I hate shit in my pockets.

Me too. I love that jacket weather is here since it means I can keep stuff in those pockets instead of my pants.

HO - LY - FUCK. That is insane. I dont think I own as much shit as these people carry in their pockets everyday. And I dont mind a Blackberry or other smart phone in a holster, but come on - a 3.2 mp camera clipped to your belt EVERY DAY? That is nuts.

And I agree, I hate shit in my pockets. Slim cell phone in lefty, minimum amount of keys in righty, and my wallet rear right. Thats it.
