I guess everyone who leaves their house daily will have some kind of list. Mine~ Car keys, Wallet, Phone, Headphones, Leatherman multitool, Generally positive attitude
Generally positive attitude
I always leave mine at home so it doesn’t get ruined.
I’ve replaced it with a death grip on my will to live and a sardonic attitude toward all the bullshit I’ll have to deal with while I’m at work. It’s the only way to make it through and still have a functioning liver.
“Testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch”
Keys, glasses, wallet, and phone.
Clothes, unfortunately. If I go out nude, the nation will bankrupt itself trying to get a front-row viewing of this show~
I have ADHD so I get rid of most problems by literally tying things to myself. I have a second belt which goers over my pants and have a hip bag attached to it. In that I have the following;
Disposable nitrile gloves (3-4 pairs)
Hand sanitiser
Power bank (10000mAh)
USB C cable
Thumb drives (one with kids shows, one with software, one blank)
USB A to C adapter
Wallet
ID lanyard
Emergency cash (not in wallet because if I lose my wallet I still have my cash)
Tissues
Aspirin, paracetamol, and ibuprofen
Ritalin
Plastic bags for rubbish
Nasal inhaler (for blocked nose, long term issue)
Car and house keys (attached on a clip, not inside)
Then I have my pockets for phones (I have 2), wireless headphones, and anything else for the day.
By keeping my keys attached I cannot get in the car without my belt bag.
Sane reply
Do you mean that ironically or literally?
Tbh, if I didn’t actually attach things to myself I would lose them. If I had a kid I would have a strap to connect them. When I take my cat for walkies we have a harness and lead which never leaves my hand. I have my keys set up to lock the front door from the outside so I cannot lock myself out without my keys.
ADHD can suck, but with good tools and processes it is much more manageable.
Well sometimes nothing if I am with my husband, that is so awesome. But if it’s just me - keys and phone are my usual gear, phone can pay for stuff. Bike lock if I am on the bike; purse with all my purse stuff if I’m driving the car.
Stuff in my purse is wallet with ID and cards, vitamins and medicines, hair stuff and lip balm, sunscreen, a Rubik’s Cube, a crow whistle and dice, glasses cleaner and sometimes sunglasses.
a Rubik’s Cube
How fast is your fastest? I done the 3x3 in like within 60 seconds, nothing even close to the 5-second that pros get.
I suck at it, lucky to solve it at any speed - my penultimate kid is fast though, like you under a minute. Just like to have some analog toys in my bag.
Keys, wallet, phone, vape. Pants are optional, but they do help with carrying the other stuff.
The ideal list of stuff (sometime I forget or not have time):
- Phone
- Keys
- Pepper Spray (am a non-white dude, live in US, but don’t feel ready to carry a gun yet, don’t wanna get too depressed and shoot myself lol)
- wireless earbuds
- some hand sanitizers to clean my hands in case I need to touch a bathroom doorknob and there’s no paper towel to let me open it without getting nasty shit on my hand (anyone else germophobic?),
- hopefully I remember my power bank and the cable
Even if you do carry a gun one day, keep carrying the pepper spray. It’s good to have an option between a strong word and a bullet that doesn’t involve getting super close.
Yes of course, use the minimum force necesssary to get out of the bad situation.
Based on that answer, dont ever get a gun, friend.
I completely feel ya with the gun-thingy.
Nitroglycerin :(
Glad issues were found when they were though and am consistently getting better :)
Everytime? Depends on what I am doing. Is it a walk, bikeride, or drive?
Each has different requirements.
Glasses. That is the one thing that is on the list for all trips.
Wallet: drive. License: bike. Helmet: bike. Walk, maybe nothing but glasses.
Phone about half the time for any of those things. Trying to not bring it as much. The thing you miss most with a phone while out when you don’t have it is the ability to take pictures.
Clothes. Mostly because public nudity is frowned upon by some people.
“Frowned upon” is understating it. You straight up get locked up.
I carry like $2 in change in my right front pocket, and have for as long as I can remember. I cannot leave the house without it anymore - it feels like something is wrong. I also would struggle to tell you the last time I ever NEEDED physical change. It’s more of a novelty than anything at this point, but it’s part of my routine.
It depends on what we’re doing and where we’re going. If it’s something quick or I’m going to be busy while I’m there, then I’ll just take a pair of headphones and two of my android devices, one to listen to music on the way there and back, and another to play games while I’m there if I can. If we’re going to be gone for a while, I’ll take all of my android devices, my controller, a keyboard and mouse, my tablet stand, and some USB cables and adapters. I would take some other devices, but for right now, android devices are the only portable devices I have that I actively use.
I have a sling bag that keeps everything I EDC other than my phone and knife. So phone, knife, and bag is all I think of before leaving home. In my bag:
- EpiPen
- Wallet
- Keys
- Currently my newborn’s temp health card
- Leatherman
- Meds (pain meds, nausea meds, etc)
I’d like to get a decent flashlight and a decent pair of earbuds (either wireless or USB-C wired) so those probably in the near future. Otherwise I think that’s it other than random misc stuff I need to take out (receipts etc).
Obviously also stuff I wear (clothes, wedding ring, watch) but that’s always on.
Samesies, but a Savotta Kukkaro
A tiny Anker charger and usb-c cable, 10Ah powerbank, flashlight and then the basic keys, wallet etc.
Compact and durable
I keep most of my “EDC” stuff in my bag — chapstick, keys, hand sani, etc.
If I’m going out for a while and I expect it to get dark, I like to pack a flashlight.
I used to carry a knife but sometimes it makes going into bars and clubs awkward so I usually leave it at home now
Keys, phone, wallet. Watch if needing to know the time is relevant on my trip.
I’m a simple man.
I may trim the wallet down. It’s not a Costanza, but I’m not using half of what’s in there. I don’t trust Samsung/Google/apple pay, so I’m still lugging the card around; but honestly that and my driver license and health ID card is all I really need, and I understand those flicky card case things. Toss a chipolo card thing in there since I leave everything everywhere, and I’m done.
