Guys: where do you carry your stuff?

In summary, the expert summarizer recommends carrying a wallet in the front right pocket, keys in the front left pocket, and change in the change pocket in the jeans. They also suggest carrying a secure number generator and a USB flash drive.

What items do you carry with you at all times?

Wallet keys iPhone . Keep them in my cost pocket usually, but phone has been Lund in pant pocket too.

I have a single sling backpack with a little 10" laptop in it that sometimes makes rounds with me. Used to have school notebooks back when I took notes.

Dump it in your girlfriend/wife's bag? At least I always need to carry my guy's stuff :rolleyes: Including sandwiches, bottles of water and/or orange juice, perfume/deodorant, computer cables, ipad.
:biggrin:

Sorry, that is too funny, if you want it to stop, have him get a backpack/fanny pack or in your case perhaps a gym bag, lol.

iPhone is constantly in my trouser pocket. I also always carry my keys, wallet and travel card though they all alternate between trouser pockets, jacket pockets or my man bag. Sometimes I carry my glasses on my face, if not there then in jacket pocket or my bag.

Usually but not always if I have the bag then I'm also carrying my kindle, a book, pack of tissues, food (usually fruit), water and a pen. Occasionally it also has my laptop in it. If I have lots of stuff to carry and it won't fit into the man bag I use a rucksack.

See Monique, here is living proof that men can be trained :wink: as I said in my last post, there is hope for you. Ryan is living proof there is.

Lol it may be a cultural thing, I'm given to understand that in Europe it is far more common for men to carry small sidebags than it is in the US. In fact in some countries it is hard to tell if a bag is for a man or a woman...

This is why American men fear socialism - man bags.

Wallet and keys!

I feel like I'm the only person in their 20s who doesn't carry a mobile phone with them or can go for an hour without checking their facebook notifications

Perhaps. I'm just less than month from 60, and I never even look at text messages. My cell is only for making out-bound calls! I like to have it in a pocket in case I have some kind of mechanical trouble when I'm on the road, but that's not likely to happen. If someone is desperate enough to text me, they can call me at home and talk to me in person when I don't answer them. Why should people subject themselves to intrusions/interruptions all day and feel compelled to respond? That attitude is stupid, IMO.

*looks at rather dusty cellphone*

Yeah, definitely not going to check when I last received/sent a text message. :biggrin:
 
  • #51
I carry my phone, keys, wallet, guitar pick, and a mechanical pencil at all times.

To everyone who carries around Swiss pocket knives, what kind do you use? I'd like to purchase one, but most of the ones I have looked at don't seem very durable.

Now, if that manpurse was worn across the body, that wouldn't be so bad.

Thanks to Pythagoras, now I know how to embed the video that I linked to on the previous page.

EDIT: Relevant scenes are 0:45-1:15, 3:10-3:30, and 4:03-end

EDIT 2: The member in question's name is *Pythagorean*. Apologies.

On a normal day, I always carry my wallet, phone, and keys. However, if I am not driving my car on a certain day then I will only carry my wallet and phone.

Get a man purse! I always had men dumping all of their junk in my purse causing my shoulder to dislocate.


Ok, I'm lying about dislocating my shoulder, but the extra junk was heavy. Don't unload your junk on a woman unless you're married or in a long term commited relationship. Trust me.

Come on! Women are the beasts of burden! If you can't manage to lug an extra liter or two of water, an extra laptop, or portable device or two, what's the point? Do we all need to adopt burros? :biggrin:
 
  • #60
wait, it's allowed to go the other way once you're in a long-term relationship? well dang it, why am I still the packhorse. And I don't even have a manpurse to carry everything in.

I have like 15 pockets at any given time though :]

This is a list of things I carry with me at all times. I don't know how the rest of you guys manage, but I have to wear a pouch (man-purse, murse, second scrotum, fanny pack) or my pockets would be bulging (which I think looks ridiculous) and I would surely forget some things.

But pouches look pretty dorky too, even if they're black leather. How do the rest of you guys manage?


Drat! Forgot keys!
Done :wink: Ryan_m_b
I carry my wallet in my left front pants pocket. My house key is in it. In my right front pocket is a bit of change and my car key if I'm driving. I usually keep my cell phone and camera in my jacket pocket, or, if not wearing a jacket, then the cell phone is in my right front pants pocket and the camera in my shirt pocket. Or, maybe I just don't carry the camera.

When I go to play tennis or go to the beach it's simple. Everything goes in the backpack, along with snacks, water, etc.

No man-purse or fanny pack necessary.

All depends on the circumstance, I have had the opposite happen on a hike up Mt Washington, a woman and her husband were lagging behind everyone else. They caught up with the main group, and it became obvious she was in worse straights than him, we off loaded and distributed her pack load to a couple of our more fit male hikers, and they proceeded to make it to the lake of the Clouds Hut. They made it there, were exhausted and I distinctly remember getting the woman's gear etc... sorted out and made sure she made it to bed, don't get the wrong idea, lol. In this case we had the issue of the man's pride at not being able to step up to deal with, it wasn't fashion or vanity, it was pure necessity for survival. That's my story, and I am sticking to it. Lol. Epilog. The struggling folks are no longer invited on our hiking trips.

Similar to rhody's story, some friends and relatives and I hiked into a remote pond to stay for a long weekend at a cabin in Baxter State Park. The laggards were the two teen-agers - one a wrestler and the other a basketball player. Their father, their uncle and I lightened their load a bit so they would stop whining and lagging. It was only 8 miles or so, with a river to ford on the way. We had to carry in all our food, and of course I had to have my cast-iron skillet and spatula, along with fresh eggs, bacon, potatoes, etc. Those wimps were packing crap like Cup 'O Noodles that didn't weigh anything. We should have left the boys at home and taken women instead.

No. Real women wouldn't have whined and lagged behind.

My wife and the wives of my hiking-partners are tough and proud. They would never have slacked and appeared inferior to men in any way. Plus, we all would have had more fun over the weekend with women instead of the teen-boy prima-donnas.

I have a man-bag, or a purse if you like. It looks like the one on the top-left in the picture below:
