- iPhone 4
- Either the Springfield XD-45 or the Ruger LCP, depending on clothing and my mood.
- Leatherman Wave with the $5 pocket clip from the factory, can't stand belt carriers. If you order one, order 3. They're very durable but I broke one, and friends and family have begged me for my spares.
- Torch-style pocket lighter (for firestarting, don't smoke)
- Keychain with keys, a few bump keys, a keychain pen, and a mini SAK, and a superbright LED light
- 8-10 plain index cards (for jotting down ideas & to do's on the go, typing into a tiny iPhone 4 sucks)
- Jeans + Dockers leather belt. Used to wear 5.11 and such but got looks from LEOs and criminals, so stopped.
- Shirt + fleece or TNF wind/rain jacket

Everything goes in pockets, so I blend in and don't look like batman. Each item goes in the same pocket every day.

If I have my backpack with me, which I often do:

- A few lightweight books (survival guide + something to kill boredom
- Garmin 60csx (or whatever it is, that awesome one)
- An extra ammomag or few
- An iPad.
- A Macbook Pro & assorted cables
- The Leatherman Wave bit driver set
- A couple USB memory keys, one with crypto and security tools
- A few cheapo carabiners, and one good climbing one
- 25' of 550 cord
- Basic civilian medical supplies (ointment, ibuprof, acetaminophen, immodium, benadryl, sudafed, dramamine, bandages, etc). I use this quite often to medicate coworkers and family in a pinch. All of this fits into an old little plastic USAF first aid box about the size of a single serve cereal box.
- An Altoids tin survival kit (fishing junk, fishing line, vaseline soaked cotton, compass, whistle, exactos, water tabs, etc etc)
- water container (metal bottle you buy at the store)
- Long-lasting trail bars
- Mylar emergency blanket
- A Marmot Ion windshirt (a model from before they got bad) jammed up into a tiny ball
- steno pad + pens and pencils (for jotting down ideas or "whiteboarding" for others)

I'll probably catch crap for the big lists, but I manage to stay well within Sheeple territory.
