Just a thought on what your EDC (every day carry) is?

Keys - front left

Wallet- back right

Cell phone - back left

Leatherman - right hip (belt loop)

I used to carry a clip knife but they shredded that pocket on all my jeans.

Going to start on my CCDW at the beginning of next year.

Daily I pocket carry: 

wallet , vehicle key for whatever I'm driving that day, separate set of keys with work, home, etc., a cell phone, and some sort of easy open clip pocket knife. These days I often carry a concealed pistol in an itwb  holster as well, depending on what I'm doing that day.

I'm not much of an EDC person, but I do like the goodies coming out of the EDC/first response camps. I use a key holder that's like a pocket knife and a nice thin kydex card holding wallet. But it's more of a use less pocket space than make room for more gadgets thought process.

I can also carry more goodies in my hi vis work vest thanks to the evolution of EDC goodies. Flashlights have come a long way since I started needing one in my work kit. Same with phone cameras - I don't need an additional camera in my kit

No CC or OC in my region for non-LEO folks.

Last couple employers have precluded EDC for me, but my pants have 12 pockets and there is stuff in every pocket. It is a long list with redundancies for additional options.

I moved my wallet from my left-rear to my left-front pocket about a decade ago and my back has thanked me for it.

I split my wallet into two thin wallets, one on each side. Both are thin enough that I don't end up sitting on either.

Left front: keys

Left hip: Gerber multi tool

Left rear: clip knife

Concealed  piece in small of back holster but I don't carry often.  It rarely seems necessary and my smallest firearm is a Taurus .40   Work doesn't allow carry of any sort anyway, but I should get something LCP sized for easier concealment while out and about..

That's it. I work from home, in an office in my garage. There's time I go a week without even picking up my wallet.

In reply to KyAllroad (Jeremy) (Forum Supporter) :

Funny thing about my LCP, hides in any pocket, he'll it hides in my hand, but due to its size, it's actually hard to hold and aim well. My pinky and half my ring finger fold under the bottom of it. 

Anyway

Front right, keys, knife, LCP if carrying

Front left cash

Back right walwallet

Back left bandana mask and receipts. 

Small of back, P97D if carrying that. 

Keeping the wallet as id and credit cards really cut down on the back pain too.

Shirt pocket, smokes lighter pen.

Typically  nothing but at work I keep a small LED flashlight in my right pocket because I can’t see E36 M3 anymore. 

I don’t like to carry anything in my pockets so the idea of cargo pants is absurd to me

I just carry my phone in my pocket. My phone has a debit card and my military ID in the case. Other than that, my keys hangs off my belt loop. 

I've never carried a pocket knife or multi-tool. 

I used to conceal carry but I stopped simply out of laziness lol. My jiu-jitsu and martial arts are still sharp though lol. 

I hate having things in my pocket or clipped to my belt, especially while sitting down. I almost never carry my wallet anymore.
