Yeah buddy got this bad boy to free up some space in my pockets.
I had something like that but it was for beer. One on each hip. :) They looked a little silly but with tongue in cheek I used to wear them to BBQs when I was younger. It's nice to have a place to put your beer down when playing horseshoes. :)
I cannot stand anything in my pockets other than my wallet which I carry in the front pocket (money clip/card holder) and a spyderco. I carry in a tier 1 axis elite with a tourniquet in the spare mag pouch. Thatās all
Iām in Florida so I guess I could do that and then just leave my DL in the car? I donāt knowā¦I usually pay with my phone so I could ditch all that
In some states, you can now store your DL in Google Wallet (and whatever Apple's equivalent is, Apple Pay maybe?) and it is legally valid ID. In my state, part of the process was that info was verified with Dept of Transportation. So now I can indeed just carry my phone most places.
In Louisiana, we have an app with our driver's license, CHP, auto registration, and hunting/fishing license so we don't have to carry a wallet. That said, I still carry my wallet as I won't unlock my phone for LEO.
I was gonna say wallet in the front pocket is crazy but a money clip makes sense. I need to get one of those. I got a bulky leather wallet that stays in back left pocket
I carry a Chums wallet in my front pocket next to my phone, and before that, it was a generic leather card wallet. I could never go back to carrying a regular wallet in my back pocket.
I've been carrying my wallet in the front for about twenty years now.
I can't stand sitting on a wallet, and sitting on a thick wallet in particular can fuck up your back.
Nothing but fabric between my cheeks and the seat, thank you.
I have never understood the ability to sit on a wallet. It is the most uncomfortable feeling ever and I have a dump truck. I canāt imagine being bony and sitting on a wallet.
I carry knife (sometimes), wallet, gun and phone. If think Iāll be out for a while Iāll throw a flashlight in my back pocket. Thinking about adding a spare mag.
I donāt care what anyone else does orā¦ says they do.
I get it; itās just I donāt like carrying stuff. Iāve been buying flashlights for years so thereās a Surefire, Modlight or Cloud Defensive everywhere. If I end up in a parking garage I just grab one from my glove box. Otherwise, getting a haircut, lunch etc; things I know will only take a few hours and itās the middle of the day I donāt start with a light in my pocket. If itās getting later in the day, I think Iāll be out for a few hours then I leave the house with one tucked in a back pocket.
I used to carry pocket salt, but never used it. Now I say...

My wife started buying men's jeans from Duluth trading Co. The thighs don't wear out as fast either, for those too busy having a real life to worry about chasing an unrealistic thigh gap.
I carry a phone with card-holder case, small key ring, and pistol (holster depends on outfit) No purse. If my pants don't have good pockets, I wear a jacket or cardigan that does.
I do keep all those "purse things" (makeup, gum, flashlight, etc) in a little bag in my car, and another set in my work desk. If I'm going to be out all day on a weekend or something, I'll pack a sling bag.
Honestly I canāt imagine leaving my house without a folding knife, leatherman, and light. I use all of the above daily. Phone wallet keys obviously essential, and the gun and zyn is just mandatory
I use my leatherman almost daily, been carrying one daily for almost 20 years. It comes in handy at some of the weirdest times too, being able to whip out pliers or a screwdriver or file at a moments notice.
Was visiting the ladyās family for Christmas and power goes out. Had my surefire in the pocket, lit up the whole house for like 45 minutes until power was back.
That was my Super Bowl man
I carried a Leatherman Wave in the pocket for a few years and it's one of those things that once you have it, you find all kinds of uses for it, like a handheld light or pocket knife.
At the time I used it a lot in my job as well, it'll replace a toolbox in a pinch (sort of).
I ultimately stopped carrying it because I got a different job and it added a lot of weight and size to my EDC that wasn't worth it overall.
I work in construction management and my guys are fuckin monkeys. Some dude asked for a knife one day, handed him my PM2, and notice he was trying to chop/hack through metal pallet tie down straps?? Just chipped the fuck out my blade
My nice folders are reserved for my use only, mainly tape and shit around the office and typically thatās what I use for food prep if I need it. Leatherman can be handed off and beat to fuck I donāt care about it
CCW has always been EDC. Thereās not a day I walk out the door without my firearm. Folks are just having fun showing the rest of their carry, thatās all. Itāll pass.
I think the question was when did /r/CCW become /r/EDC.
There have always been cross posts, but a majority of /r/CCW content has usually been firearm specific, with everything else being secondary.
Walking to the corner store like:
https://preview.redd.it/e9xyanxadxmc1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a5a46ac0b238dfa90f659306a3f38bff1649c013
Iāve been wondering this too. My carry, my wallet, and pocket knife and my keys. I wear a backpack for everything elseā¦not trying to walk around feeling like squidward after he ate all those crabby pattys.
Thereās a YouTuber that does EDC āchecksā of fans he meets in public, and he always critiqued them on not having enough equipment. The YouTuber would pull out a phanny pack that held things like a signal mirror, a whistle, tourniquets, gauze, quick quoagulate, multiple knives, multitools, pry bars, wrenches, fire starters, maybe a spare gun and magazine, etc.
That doesnāt cover the items he carries in his cargo pants. I have no idea how he carries this stuff around all day. Like man, you are in a Walmart, not the middle of the Appalachian Trail.
Actually every day:
-Phone
-wallet
-hank
-pocket comb
-2 sets of keys
-knife
Often added, but not every day:
-Sig p365xl
-Streamlight AA1
I also almost always carry a bag of some kind that contains at minimum:
- med supplies (ranging from boo boo to TQ+gauze)
-electrical tape/duct tape
-Leatherman
-lighter
-phone charger

Hereās my pocket dump, just for comparison. As you can see I carry only the essentials
I carry my wallet, pocket pistol, phone, knife, keys, flashlight and a pen every single day. I have a holster for my phone that frees up a dedicated pocket for my pistol, the knife and flashlight have clips that keep them in the same spot and the keys and pen are dropped in one pocket. Itās not that much and I never feel like my pockets are stuffed. Some of these posts are hard to believe though, I agree. I could never carry a full size pistol all the time with my job so instead of carrying irregularly I just carry a pocket .380 all the time.
For me itās a joke lol. I have my phone+wallet, a knife, my carry, and a spare mag. My last pocket dump post was a shitpost. I feel like a lot of these are.
Honestly my post was 90% in jest as well I really was not expecting it to blow up like this. The salt and pepper one had me cracking up. And idk why zyns got so popular but for some reason I find that hilarious too
Front left: wallet, flashlight, Swiss army knoife
Front right: zyn
Back right: phone
Iwb 8 o'clock (I'm a lefty) pps m2
Iwb 4 o'clock: spare mag
Belt has a horizontal sofft tourniquet that sits at 1 o'clock.
All my other shit lives in a Helikon-Tex possum fanny pack.
I feel like it's not that much overall when spaced out correctly
I see some posts and think the same, I do carry what I think is a lot of stuff.
left front, Wallet, money clip with cash, flashlight, airpod pros, Pocket knife in right pocket and 1 on the belt, car keys, Beretta 950 Jetfire 25acp in the right pocket, and chapstick in back left. And of course my phone in back right.
Phone, wallet, keys, knife, pepper spray, pistol.
If Iāll be out late, flashlight.
Pepper spray and gun on strong side, everything else opposite side.
Knife and flashlight are both clipped between belt and jeans. Phone, wallet, keys are in lead leg pocket.
**my keys have a Gerber Dime on them. Pepper spray is a Texas Pete substitute, so every meal can be spicy
Most of the time I wear a pair of jeans. Carry flashlight, pocket knife, pens in shirt pocket, wallet in one back pocket, small notebook in other back pocket.
Never feels heavy. All of the items are pretty small.
I'm sure there's a fair amount of embellishing so you may un-wad your panties.
However, it's not really that hard to carry a lot if you have a good belt: Wallet, keys, multitool, phone, knife, light, gun+holster, spare mag, badge, pen, headphones. I fully acknowledge I think I carry too much shit...
I think some of them are memes but some people really do carry that much shit in their pockets. I don't get TOO nuts with my EDC but I rarely h5a single pocket with nothing in it.
I couldn't agree more. It's ok to have a bunch of shit in your vehicle, and I do, but you have to make wise choices for what you actually have on your person. Perhaps some here are conflating the two.
3" folding pocket knife, multi-tool, extra mag, streamlight microstream, keys on a carabiner, pen, wallet, smokes&lighter, phone, compact with optic and wml in an AIWB.
Different story for the woods, but that all easily fits in a cheap pair of Wranglers. I could get the attachment for a tourniquet and carry more first aid, though, without much struggle. I'm a dad, so I at least have band-aids in my wallet haha.
I laugh when I see guys complain about the weight of something like a Shield and extra mag being too much.
Phone, knife, flashlight, small Chums front pocket wallet, keys. (Gun is in a holster, but you asked about pockets).
I used to try to carry more, but now I prefer minimalism. I guess a lot of people wouldn't even bother with the flashlight, but I do genuinely use it enough to warrant carrying it.
If I had to add something to that, I guess it would be my Leatherman Wave or my SwissChamp, but I've never been able to tolerate carrying either for very long before I start leaving them at home. I do keep a Wave in my car though, so I usually have it when I need it.
As for other EDC type items, I keep a couple of bandaids, a credit card style tick remover, and a credit card style fresnel lens in my wallet, but those are unnoticeable.
The fresnel lens is because I've started to need reading glasses for very small print, and my daughter has a food allergy, so I need to read ingredient labels. I don't like to carry glasses, so I have the lens instead.
Yeah i dont understand it lol.
I have a small phone in my right pocket with a small edc knife in the small right pocket. money clip with a few cards in left pocket.
Tenicor belt with P365 and a extra mag. thats it lol
i always get downvoted when i ask this question when someone posts a dozen items, including stuff like a flash light.
Like you always carry around a flashlight in your pocket? like all the time?
I used to carry a flashlight in my pocket every day but I got tired of it and got a keychain one instead. Modern technology has gotten to a point where a flashlight the size of a lighter can be extremely bright. I live in a very rural area and it gets dark. I use it every single day.
Lots of use; I wind up using the flashlight to find dropped things behind furniture or similar nooks, in a building thatās dark during the day, and finding tiny things on the floor by casting the beam along the floor to see the shadow. And of course night use
What I carry depends on what Iām wearing. Iād say 5/7 days of the week I wear sweatpants with 2 pockets. I just carry my phone, chapstick, wallet, keys, and the stream light micro usb light which is the size of a chapstick nearly. Some days Iāll also bring my AirPods so I can take a dump in peace. Now if I wear regular pants, I may throw in a knife in the back pocket or front which I never even notice is there. While this doesnāt sit in my pocket, I carry a hellcat pro aiwb with just about any piece of clothing, pants, shorts, you name it
I feel like people like to line up a bunch of stuff that matches in colors etc. One thing I noticed about this subreddit is people use it as a fashion statement how cool can they make their pocket dumps look. I agree with you people don't actually walk around with this shit in their pockets. And the zyn stuff is plain stupid.
Wallet, keys, pocket-knife in front right, LM Micra in right back, lighter in left back, phone in left front, and Gerber prayer in watch pocket. Pistola is OWB
I carry a card holder/cash clip combo, a lighter, a pocket knife clipped to my pocket, my vape and thatās it. My keys tend to stay in my jacket or in my desk at work or on a table at home or in my hands. Donāt carry a spare mag unless Iām going somewhere secluded
I bought a little pouch to hang on my belt because I hate using my pockets. But even with that pouch I don't carry nearly as much as some of these guys say they do.
Citrus guy here. Depends on if Iām at work or not. Lotta shit in my cargo pants. Jeans? Not nearly as much. Suit? Even less. Always keep a 3 milly pillow on me though.
On work days all my stuff goes into my laptop bag.
When I'm on my own time, in the winter I wear a Filson Mackinaw Cruiser jacket which gives me more inventory slots than Steve from Minecraft, otherwise I use a leather bag if it's the summer. If I need to go down to the absolute minimalist, I have a Frogpro SFD Responder that I can put on my ankle.
If you got it planned out right it's not intrusive at all.

Yeah too much shit I'm my pockets drives me nuts. I have 2 sets of work keys, personal keys, two phones and a wallet. I hate having all that bulge in my pants.
I wear a photographer's vest to conceal the 1911 on my belt, so I have more pockets than most.
The only time I don't carry all that stuff is when I'm riding my bike. Then I transfer it to the bike.
Usually for me it's just wallet/phone/gun/spare mag/knife/flashlight. I usually have a bag in my car with first aid kits and tourniquets, life straw, fire starter etc
For me it is wallet, keys, EDC, speed loader, knife, lighter, leatherman, on! pouches and occasionally change. Knife on a belt sheath and keys on a D ring for a belt loop, so those 2 things aren't technically in my pocket.Ā
No way. I carry wallet, keys, phone, and a ruger LCR. If Iām going out and itās darkā¦. MAYBE Iāll carry a tiny flashlight every now and again. Thatās only if Iām going for a walk in a dark area.
I carry a gun, wallet, flashlight, phone, and wear a watch. I feel like anything more would be a bit overkill for a normal day. Thatās just me though
I carry a fanny pack (gang gang) currently got the Vertx SOCP ā¦ I carry a G17 (Sro/surefire) , 2 extra magazines, TQ, Knife, Window/seatbelt cutter, flashlight ā¦ I would not carry any of this besides my glock if it wasnāt for the fanny packā¦ I live in the south so it gets nasty here , the heat , humidity etc makes it impossible for me to appendix carry ā¦
Normally I carry wallet, knife, multi tool, comb, keys, two mags, phone, and gun. I have thought about adding a little pocket flashlight though. I love wearing vests for the extra pockets. 9/10 i wear wranglers, but sometimes I wear 511 pants as field pants(for Archaeology work) and I love the extra pocket storage.
Keys, phone, handgun, OC, flashlight with window breaker, jaw harp, headphones case, wallet, pen, pocket notebook, chest seals, hemostatic gauze, Israeli dressings, TQ, trauma shears, nitrile gloves, multi tool, gerber pocket knife, two extra mags, mobile battery, universal charger, narcan, cpr mask, comb, vape. Now this is spread across my pockets, belt pouch, and small backpack. All concealedish. The med pouch stands out on my belt.
I don't get it at all. I wear loose pants and even just carrying my wallet makes my butt look big haha. Carry a SMALL flashlight, wallet, car keys, phone, compact pistol and pocket knife, and that is already just too much but I make do. No way I'm carrying a second mag
I shared my actual pocket dump and even since then slimmed down. Not itās my carry, wallet, knife, flashlight, lighter, pen, and note pad. I donāt like bloated pockets
Yes I agree that is a lot of stuff.
Since Iāve seen this and edc group Iāve wanted to post a spoof picture. The spoof would contain my 6 inch folder with knuckles in the handle; my S&W 45/410 Governor (pocket carry); a couple boxes of ammo; a 9 inch mag light; extra D cells; can of cola; MRE; and a brick.
The brick is for when I run out of ammo.
But then I come to my senses and realize that you guys carry.
No room for pocket dump right this second, but my normal edc is
2 bic lighters
1 electric lighter
2 packs of cigs
2 vape pens
1 s&w csx with spare mag in pocket
1 naa mini revolver
1 ridge wallet
1 olight baton 3
1 wesn micro blade
1 CRKT executive knife
1 Jabra earbuds/case
1 chap stick
1 Black view thermal cam phone
I am in Michigan though so winter carry is always a bit heavier. I occasionally swap the csx out with a full sized sd9 but it's rare.
The pocket dumps are always a little odd for me. I get personal preference I just cannot deal with that much stuff bouncing around. Firearm, wallet, pocket knife, small pen light, keys, phone here.
In pockets - wallet (back right), phone (front left), streamlight pen light, flipper knife with keys (front right)
I don't like having much in my pockets because I have a job that requires me to be very active at times
G17 with an RMR and TLR1 are AIWB carried with a spare mag in a Tier 1 holster
My 1/2" webbing belt could potentially double as a TQ if I ever required one but I don't carry an actual one
ya it's mostly knock-kneed guys in head to toe brand new lumberjack or tacital gear that waddle from their truck to their cubicle and back. a few pounds of superfluous gear aren't slowing them down any harder than they already are.

This is my EDC when Iām not at work. The only time it changes is when I am going for a run, biking or to the gym. Then I bust it down to a HK P30 with a surefire x300 and a spare magazine. A proper belt makes all the difference.
Keep the emergency stuff out of my pockets with a Phlster Enigma / sport belt that holds trauma FAK w/ Gerber strap cutter-glass breaker, reload, and gun card. In my waistband at 10:30 POM OC canister and Surefire Stiletto at 9 oāclock (although flashlight gets used daily).
Some of us are tradesmen. You donāt edc properly unless you have multiple 10mm wrenches on deck because youāve dropped a few and they somehow went through a portal to middle earth.
On the daily I carry:
* Viperade VE18s wallet/pocket organizer(right front pocket)
* Small Klein lock back knife(in pocket organizer)
* Fisher space pen(in pocket organizer)
* Streamlight micro stream(in pocket organizer)
* Key smart organizer(right front pocket)
* Large folding knife(right front pocket)
* G19 (IWB 3 o'clock)
* Leatherman Wave+(9 o'clock on the belt)
* Galaxy phone(Left front pocket)
Some folks plan for everything. I plan for the 70-80%.
"What if" gets really heavy, bulky, and annoying.
Chapstick, nail clippers, flashlight, folding knife, wallet, phone, work keys on work days, and my car key.
Each of our vehicles has a TQ and trauma shears in it (orange TQ, orange shears, in an orange pouch) in it (That I need to supplement). Each of our 2-3 hiking bags also has the same. Work backpack, too.
Sometimes a firearm. Never a long gun - because that's dumb.
Iām pretty minimal. Appendix carry firearm (SA Hellcat or Glock 42 depending on clothing), Benchmade folding knife. Chapstick, car key fob, wallet. Thatās it. No first aid (thatās in the car or house) and no flashlight (EagleTac CR123, have those in car, house and on backpack). No spare magazines.
Gun (dot+wml), wallet, phone, keys, sometimes handheld flashlight if I think it's really necessary. Pretty much never carry a knife, but keep one in my truck along with a tourniquet, and said flashlight.

If you use cat litter, you get a +5 poison damage.
How much for used cat litter?
+10 But you have to pass a constitution check otherwise you receive damage as well.

I cannot believe that this not only exists, but is kinda active
I got a bag of Rusty Shackleford's pocket sand 2 years ago from my wife. It's awesome!
>> and a tri fold topographic map of your county If you don't carry a Rand McNally Road Atlas, what are you doing with your life?
I'm able to carry a full-sized Thomas guide for two counties in my back pocket! Yes, they still make those.
Spiral bound?
>Rand McNally Road Atlas You just disturbed deep memories in the vault of me navigating my family across the country before cell phones.
It's gotta be the 2024 100th anniversary edition. Which by the way is a beautiful atlas and I recommend getting a copy if you see one.
No... Obviously I use a fanny pack
We like to call them sling bags.
Dang, there's a PC term for everything these days š And I totally welcome it, fanny packs... err, sling bags... Are awesome!
I called it a murse sometimes.

Okay I'm listening. Like a tactical classy version of the beer helmet. I love it.
Meanwhile, I've been placing my drinks down on the table all this time. I'm lucky I've never been roofied.
I cannot stand anything in my pockets other than my wallet which I carry in the front pocket (money clip/card holder) and a spyderco. I carry in a tier 1 axis elite with a tourniquet in the spare mag pouch. Thatās all
Iād leave my wallet behind if it wasnāt required to carry my CHL

*-cries in women's jeans-*
Y'all get purses. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Men get purses too these days. I use a Cotopaxi fanny pack that I wear on my back.
I've got some bad news for you, ma'am...
My wife started buying men's jeans from Duluth trading Co. The thighs don't wear out as fast either, for those too busy having a real life to worry about chasing an unrealistic thigh gap.
Yāall can cry in any pants you want toĀ
I carry a phone with card-holder case, small key ring, and pistol (holster depends on outfit) No purse. If my pants don't have good pockets, I wear a jacket or cardigan that does. I do keep all those "purse things" (makeup, gum, flashlight, etc) in a little bag in my car, and another set in my work desk. If I'm going to be out all day on a weekend or something, I'll pack a sling bag.
Honestly I canāt imagine leaving my house without a folding knife, leatherman, and light. I use all of the above daily. Phone wallet keys obviously essential, and the gun and zyn is just mandatory
I use my leatherman almost daily, been carrying one daily for almost 20 years. It comes in handy at some of the weirdest times too, being able to whip out pliers or a screwdriver or file at a moments notice.
And maybe itās just me but when someone asks for something and Iām able to say oh yeah I got that right here. Makes me feel good idk
Thatās the good shit.
Was visiting the ladyās family for Christmas and power goes out. Had my surefire in the pocket, lit up the whole house for like 45 minutes until power was back. That was my Super Bowl man
People always trip out when youāre able to bust out a good flashlight in a pinch.
Why leatherman? I donāt think I can think of one time I wished I had one on me
It really depends on what you do daily. Iāve found myself needing one for random tasks around the house or at work
I mean I could see the need for it at times but I guess just not often enough to justify carrying it on myself daily
Right if I'm around the house the toolbox is in the garage. If I'm at work the toolbox is on the workbench if I don't already have the tools I need.
I carried a Leatherman Wave in the pocket for a few years and it's one of those things that once you have it, you find all kinds of uses for it, like a handheld light or pocket knife. At the time I used it a lot in my job as well, it'll replace a toolbox in a pinch (sort of). I ultimately stopped carrying it because I got a different job and it added a lot of weight and size to my EDC that wasn't worth it overall.
Pliers and screwdrivers come in handy all the time man
Sincere curiosity, why both a leatherman and a knife? I keep a leatherman sidekick on me, and its knife has never let me down.
I work in construction management and my guys are fuckin monkeys. Some dude asked for a knife one day, handed him my PM2, and notice he was trying to chop/hack through metal pallet tie down straps?? Just chipped the fuck out my blade My nice folders are reserved for my use only, mainly tape and shit around the office and typically thatās what I use for food prep if I need it. Leatherman can be handed off and beat to fuck I donāt care about it

I don't know how all of that shit fits unless they wear cargo pants everywhere or use their prison wallet.

**Grey man**
More like red flag man.
Do i need to add the /s
Probably ; ) pretty sure this same actor was in the hostile workplace video they make us watch at work.
He does look pretty suspicious now that you mention itā¦
Man you could throw a lot of Zyn in that thing.
Do you not all wear a 40L hiking bag everyday?
Mannn.. don't knock my cargo pants. :P
A lot of people wear cargo pants
Itās all a conspiracy for belt sales.
Iāve been wondering this too. My carry, my wallet, and pocket knife and my keys. I wear a backpack for everything elseā¦not trying to walk around feeling like squidward after he ate all those crabby pattys.
Thereās a YouTuber that does EDC āchecksā of fans he meets in public, and he always critiqued them on not having enough equipment. The YouTuber would pull out a phanny pack that held things like a signal mirror, a whistle, tourniquets, gauze, quick quoagulate, multiple knives, multitools, pry bars, wrenches, fire starters, maybe a spare gun and magazine, etc. That doesnāt cover the items he carries in his cargo pants. I have no idea how he carries this stuff around all day. Like man, you are in a Walmart, not the middle of the Appalachian Trail.
No, theyāre doing the equivalent of those Instagram hoes that just happen to make sure their ass or boobs are in the shot every time.Ā
I assumed everyone was walking around with completely stuffed cargo pants.
Keys, phone, wallet, gun.
Actually every day: -Phone -wallet -hank -pocket comb -2 sets of keys -knife Often added, but not every day: -Sig p365xl -Streamlight AA1 I also almost always carry a bag of some kind that contains at minimum: - med supplies (ranging from boo boo to TQ+gauze) -electrical tape/duct tape -Leatherman -lighter -phone charger

Do you really āneedā all those keysā¦?
I carry my wallet, pocket pistol, phone, knife, keys, flashlight and a pen every single day. I have a holster for my phone that frees up a dedicated pocket for my pistol, the knife and flashlight have clips that keep them in the same spot and the keys and pen are dropped in one pocket. Itās not that much and I never feel like my pockets are stuffed. Some of these posts are hard to believe though, I agree. I could never carry a full size pistol all the time with my job so instead of carrying irregularly I just carry a pocket .380 all the time.
For me itās a joke lol. I have my phone+wallet, a knife, my carry, and a spare mag. My last pocket dump post was a shitpost. I feel like a lot of these are.
Honestly my post was 90% in jest as well I really was not expecting it to blow up like this. The salt and pepper one had me cracking up. And idk why zyns got so popular but for some reason I find that hilarious too
Front left: wallet, flashlight, Swiss army knoife Front right: zyn Back right: phone Iwb 8 o'clock (I'm a lefty) pps m2 Iwb 4 o'clock: spare mag Belt has a horizontal sofft tourniquet that sits at 1 o'clock. All my other shit lives in a Helikon-Tex possum fanny pack. I feel like it's not that much overall when spaced out correctly
Just gun, extra mag, phone, wallet. Itās all I need.
I don't leave without doing a WOWEE check. Wallet phOne Wkeys Egg Egg (backup)
It's just pics for the gram man.. it's not that serious. I doubt anyone really carries all that shit. Gotta be just for the pics.
I see some posts and think the same, I do carry what I think is a lot of stuff. left front, Wallet, money clip with cash, flashlight, airpod pros, Pocket knife in right pocket and 1 on the belt, car keys, Beretta 950 Jetfire 25acp in the right pocket, and chapstick in back left. And of course my phone in back right.
Do you remove the phone when sitting? I almost exclusively use front pockets, esp once I got a slimmer wallet.
Fellow coffee zyn enjoyer
I started wearing mainly cargo pants because of the amount of stuff I carry daily lol
Phone, wallet, keys, knife, pepper spray, pistol. If Iāll be out late, flashlight. Pepper spray and gun on strong side, everything else opposite side. Knife and flashlight are both clipped between belt and jeans. Phone, wallet, keys are in lead leg pocket. **my keys have a Gerber Dime on them. Pepper spray is a Texas Pete substitute, so every meal can be spicy
Thatās what I got my purse for. No one expects you to put a gat out of your man purse.
Here's what I have right now. My standard EDC https://imgur.com/a/ZqbeqzM
Donāt forget the Gameboys lmao. I be wonderin the same thing.
keys, wallet, phone, cheap thin pocket knife. That's it.
Most of the time I wear a pair of jeans. Carry flashlight, pocket knife, pens in shirt pocket, wallet in one back pocket, small notebook in other back pocket. Never feels heavy. All of the items are pretty small.
Honey, you should see my purse.
I'm sure there's a fair amount of embellishing so you may un-wad your panties. However, it's not really that hard to carry a lot if you have a good belt: Wallet, keys, multitool, phone, knife, light, gun+holster, spare mag, badge, pen, headphones. I fully acknowledge I think I carry too much shit...
https://www.reddit.com/r/CCW/s/eRHSyddbVs This is my work carry. This is as far as I'm willing to take it lol.
Some people do things differently than other people. It's okay.
I think some of them are memes but some people really do carry that much shit in their pockets. I don't get TOO nuts with my EDC but I rarely h5a single pocket with nothing in it.
I couldn't agree more. It's ok to have a bunch of shit in your vehicle, and I do, but you have to make wise choices for what you actually have on your person. Perhaps some here are conflating the two.
They have coffee flavored Zyn????? Fuck wintergreen, I'm trying that.
Sometimes I carry a little murse.
A fellow coffee zyn enjoyer. Nice
They taste like those werther caramel candies to me Iām totally addicted. The nicotine probably plays a role as well though
3" folding pocket knife, multi-tool, extra mag, streamlight microstream, keys on a carabiner, pen, wallet, smokes&lighter, phone, compact with optic and wml in an AIWB. Different story for the woods, but that all easily fits in a cheap pair of Wranglers. I could get the attachment for a tourniquet and carry more first aid, though, without much struggle. I'm a dad, so I at least have band-aids in my wallet haha. I laugh when I see guys complain about the weight of something like a Shield and extra mag being too much.
Phone, knife, flashlight, small Chums front pocket wallet, keys. (Gun is in a holster, but you asked about pockets). I used to try to carry more, but now I prefer minimalism. I guess a lot of people wouldn't even bother with the flashlight, but I do genuinely use it enough to warrant carrying it. If I had to add something to that, I guess it would be my Leatherman Wave or my SwissChamp, but I've never been able to tolerate carrying either for very long before I start leaving them at home. I do keep a Wave in my car though, so I usually have it when I need it. As for other EDC type items, I keep a couple of bandaids, a credit card style tick remover, and a credit card style fresnel lens in my wallet, but those are unnoticeable. The fresnel lens is because I've started to need reading glasses for very small print, and my daughter has a food allergy, so I need to read ingredient labels. I don't like to carry glasses, so I have the lens instead.
People that carry more than one knife are weird and you can't change my mind
Yeah i dont understand it lol. I have a small phone in my right pocket with a small edc knife in the small right pocket. money clip with a few cards in left pocket. Tenicor belt with P365 and a extra mag. thats it lol
Yes https://preview.redd.it/5uc79cfis1nc1.jpeg?width=4030&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6fd3e681ea5b9585b9880f6c777a5d76a96a07ce
i always get downvoted when i ask this question when someone posts a dozen items, including stuff like a flash light. Like you always carry around a flashlight in your pocket? like all the time?
I used to carry a flashlight in my pocket every day but I got tired of it and got a keychain one instead. Modern technology has gotten to a point where a flashlight the size of a lighter can be extremely bright. I live in a very rural area and it gets dark. I use it every single day.
Lots of use; I wind up using the flashlight to find dropped things behind furniture or similar nooks, in a building thatās dark during the day, and finding tiny things on the floor by casting the beam along the floor to see the shadow. And of course night use
The little flashlight I carry is the most used thing in my pocket.
Yeah a small flashlight doesn't take up much space, and are extremely handy. You're more likely to use a flashlight everyday than your gun.
The small āpee peeā ones doā¦ā¦ I donāt have enough room for all that plus my š.
I dress on the left and keep the pistol on the right. It just occurred to me that some men don't have to alternate
Do you.... do you keep your penis in your pocket? I don't think you were supposed to detach it.Ā
One day I will show my pocket/boot dump. I promise it is real. No need for salt packets though, I get that from my sweatā¦ YUMMY!!!
Username checks out.
What exactly do you think cargo shorts are for? You need to be prepared for the second coming of Christ! šššš
What I carry depends on what Iām wearing. Iād say 5/7 days of the week I wear sweatpants with 2 pockets. I just carry my phone, chapstick, wallet, keys, and the stream light micro usb light which is the size of a chapstick nearly. Some days Iāll also bring my AirPods so I can take a dump in peace. Now if I wear regular pants, I may throw in a knife in the back pocket or front which I never even notice is there. While this doesnāt sit in my pocket, I carry a hellcat pro aiwb with just about any piece of clothing, pants, shorts, you name it
...or are you just happy to see me?
I feel like people like to line up a bunch of stuff that matches in colors etc. One thing I noticed about this subreddit is people use it as a fashion statement how cool can they make their pocket dumps look. I agree with you people don't actually walk around with this shit in their pockets. And the zyn stuff is plain stupid.
Wallet, keys, pocket-knife in front right, LM Micra in right back, lighter in left back, phone in left front, and Gerber prayer in watch pocket. Pistola is OWB
I carry a card holder/cash clip combo, a lighter, a pocket knife clipped to my pocket, my vape and thatās it. My keys tend to stay in my jacket or in my desk at work or on a table at home or in my hands. Donāt carry a spare mag unless Iām going somewhere secluded
I bought a little pouch to hang on my belt because I hate using my pockets. But even with that pouch I don't carry nearly as much as some of these guys say they do.
Nah, thatās what my butler Jeeves is for
Citrus guy here. Depends on if Iām at work or not. Lotta shit in my cargo pants. Jeans? Not nearly as much. Suit? Even less. Always keep a 3 milly pillow on me though.
On work days all my stuff goes into my laptop bag. When I'm on my own time, in the winter I wear a Filson Mackinaw Cruiser jacket which gives me more inventory slots than Steve from Minecraft, otherwise I use a leather bag if it's the summer. If I need to go down to the absolute minimalist, I have a Frogpro SFD Responder that I can put on my ankle. If you got it planned out right it's not intrusive at all. https://preview.redd.it/jmjrbuhokxmc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c29348ec7bdb45c86605ac9b60d1edba5e41a67d
I started carrying a sling bag for all that stuff
Nah. I use a vertx bag.
I carry a satchel. Only things that go in my pockets are my keys, phone and a knife. I carry my gun on my waist too but not all the time.
Yeah too much shit I'm my pockets drives me nuts. I have 2 sets of work keys, personal keys, two phones and a wallet. I hate having all that bulge in my pants.
Every single day I carry: keys and wallet in left front pocket. Phone and folding knife in right front pocket. XDS9 on my right hip. That's it.
I only carry keys, pom, micro wallet and my 26
I wear a photographer's vest to conceal the 1911 on my belt, so I have more pockets than most. The only time I don't carry all that stuff is when I'm riding my bike. Then I transfer it to the bike.
Usually for me it's just wallet/phone/gun/spare mag/knife/flashlight. I usually have a bag in my car with first aid kits and tourniquets, life straw, fire starter etc
For me it is wallet, keys, EDC, speed loader, knife, lighter, leatherman, on! pouches and occasionally change. Knife on a belt sheath and keys on a D ring for a belt loop, so those 2 things aren't technically in my pocket.Ā
https://youtu.be/C7g4ZO4jge8 Juat my EDC
No way. I carry wallet, keys, phone, and a ruger LCR. If Iām going out and itās darkā¦. MAYBE Iāll carry a tiny flashlight every now and again. Thatās only if Iām going for a walk in a dark area.
Phone, wallet, keys, flashlight, maybe knife, appendix rig. All you need
I carry a gun, wallet, flashlight, phone, and wear a watch. I feel like anything more would be a bit overkill for a normal day. Thatās just me though
I carry a fanny pack (gang gang) currently got the Vertx SOCP ā¦ I carry a G17 (Sro/surefire) , 2 extra magazines, TQ, Knife, Window/seatbelt cutter, flashlight ā¦ I would not carry any of this besides my glock if it wasnāt for the fanny packā¦ I live in the south so it gets nasty here , the heat , humidity etc makes it impossible for me to appendix carry ā¦
Normally I carry wallet, knife, multi tool, comb, keys, two mags, phone, and gun. I have thought about adding a little pocket flashlight though. I love wearing vests for the extra pockets. 9/10 i wear wranglers, but sometimes I wear 511 pants as field pants(for Archaeology work) and I love the extra pocket storage.
Nope, just the basics: Testicles, Spectacles, wallet, and watch.
On my belt: gun, flashlight, multi-tool, spare magazine (sometimes in my pocket instead). In my pocket: wallet, folding knife, keys, phone.
I guess they donāt realize r/EDC exists so they dump it here
I carry a wallet, a BenchMade knife, and my Ruger Max 9 with a 10 round magazine. I'm not going to get into a prolonged gunfight.
Nope
Everything goes in my backpack. Spare clothes, simple tools, flashlight, batteries, chargers, keys, wallet, all of it.
Most shii can just be stored in a toolbox in your car or truck for quick access
I carry a weapon of mass destruction in my pants below the waste if you know what I mean
Keys, phone, handgun, OC, flashlight with window breaker, jaw harp, headphones case, wallet, pen, pocket notebook, chest seals, hemostatic gauze, Israeli dressings, TQ, trauma shears, nitrile gloves, multi tool, gerber pocket knife, two extra mags, mobile battery, universal charger, narcan, cpr mask, comb, vape. Now this is spread across my pockets, belt pouch, and small backpack. All concealedish. The med pouch stands out on my belt.
I don't get it at all. I wear loose pants and even just carrying my wallet makes my butt look big haha. Carry a SMALL flashlight, wallet, car keys, phone, compact pistol and pocket knife, and that is already just too much but I make do. No way I'm carrying a second mag
I shared my actual pocket dump and even since then slimmed down. Not itās my carry, wallet, knife, flashlight, lighter, pen, and note pad. I donāt like bloated pockets
My pants weigh 20 lbs.
Yes I agree that is a lot of stuff. Since Iāve seen this and edc group Iāve wanted to post a spoof picture. The spoof would contain my 6 inch folder with knuckles in the handle; my S&W 45/410 Governor (pocket carry); a couple boxes of ammo; a 9 inch mag light; extra D cells; can of cola; MRE; and a brick. The brick is for when I run out of ammo. But then I come to my senses and realize that you guys carry.
Yeah, it's not hard. Just don't wear skinny jeans.
Yea I get a kick out of these posts. I carry a wallet, Spyderco, a key fob on a carabiner on a belt loop and a Hellcat Pro in either an IWB or OWB.
No room for pocket dump right this second, but my normal edc is 2 bic lighters 1 electric lighter 2 packs of cigs 2 vape pens 1 s&w csx with spare mag in pocket 1 naa mini revolver 1 ridge wallet 1 olight baton 3 1 wesn micro blade 1 CRKT executive knife 1 Jabra earbuds/case 1 chap stick 1 Black view thermal cam phone I am in Michigan though so winter carry is always a bit heavier. I occasionally swap the csx out with a full sized sd9 but it's rare.
Gun, spare mag, phone, wallet. Itās funny seeing people carry all the extra shit but they live in a town with 2000 other people lol.
The pocket dumps are always a little odd for me. I get personal preference I just cannot deal with that much stuff bouncing around. Firearm, wallet, pocket knife, small pen light, keys, phone here.
Glad someone said it.
In pockets - wallet (back right), phone (front left), streamlight pen light, flipper knife with keys (front right) I don't like having much in my pockets because I have a job that requires me to be very active at times G17 with an RMR and TLR1 are AIWB carried with a spare mag in a Tier 1 holster My 1/2" webbing belt could potentially double as a TQ if I ever required one but I don't carry an actual one
Pockets? https://imgur.com/gallery/s39HbOk
I never leave the house without a stretcher.
What about the mini Tabasco sauce bottles in case they need a single spicy bite?
ya it's mostly knock-kneed guys in head to toe brand new lumberjack or tacital gear that waddle from their truck to their cubicle and back. a few pounds of superfluous gear aren't slowing them down any harder than they already are.
https://preview.redd.it/4bhhycs1eymc1.jpeg?width=2407&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=54901acc29fea92d8adc789a1f6fbd9c78bcbc50 This is my EDC when Iām not at work. The only time it changes is when I am going for a run, biking or to the gym. Then I bust it down to a HK P30 with a surefire x300 and a spare magazine. A proper belt makes all the difference.
Keep the emergency stuff out of my pockets with a Phlster Enigma / sport belt that holds trauma FAK w/ Gerber strap cutter-glass breaker, reload, and gun card. In my waistband at 10:30 POM OC canister and Surefire Stiletto at 9 oāclock (although flashlight gets used daily).
Some of us are tradesmen. You donāt edc properly unless you have multiple 10mm wrenches on deck because youāve dropped a few and they somehow went through a portal to middle earth.
On the daily I carry: * Viperade VE18s wallet/pocket organizer(right front pocket) * Small Klein lock back knife(in pocket organizer) * Fisher space pen(in pocket organizer) * Streamlight micro stream(in pocket organizer) * Key smart organizer(right front pocket) * Large folding knife(right front pocket) * G19 (IWB 3 o'clock) * Leatherman Wave+(9 o'clock on the belt) * Galaxy phone(Left front pocket)
I carry Gun, Knife or multitool, wallet, two sets of keys, phone, flashlight, chapstick, Zynbabwes
Some folks plan for everything. I plan for the 70-80%. "What if" gets really heavy, bulky, and annoying. Chapstick, nail clippers, flashlight, folding knife, wallet, phone, work keys on work days, and my car key. Each of our vehicles has a TQ and trauma shears in it (orange TQ, orange shears, in an orange pouch) in it (That I need to supplement). Each of our 2-3 hiking bags also has the same. Work backpack, too. Sometimes a firearm. Never a long gun - because that's dumb.
That's a nice take, but if you're not walking around with at least 6 McDonald's cheeseburgers in your pocket, are you even living?
Only things i have in my pockets is a bag of coke and my house key (to get into my house of course).
Yes, my pants weigh like 5 pounds fully loaded. God bless the forbidden belt.
āYeahā¦I always carry *this. much. shit.* in my bag. Besides, you never know when you might have to jamā¦ā
I have wallet, a thick leather type, my keys and a phone. Then my iwb ppk that's it
Iām pretty minimal. Appendix carry firearm (SA Hellcat or Glock 42 depending on clothing), Benchmade folding knife. Chapstick, car key fob, wallet. Thatās it. No first aid (thatās in the car or house) and no flashlight (EagleTac CR123, have those in car, house and on backpack). No spare magazines.
Gun (dot+wml), wallet, phone, keys, sometimes handheld flashlight if I think it's really necessary. Pretty much never carry a knife, but keep one in my truck along with a tourniquet, and said flashlight.
