I used to just put my stuff into the little pockets in my bag, but have since switched to sort of a pouch which was designed for a phone, but fits everything I need. But where do you put your stuff if you don’t have a bag to put the pouch in? I envy woman for being able to walk around with a bag the size of a phone without looking stupid. Do you always carry a backpack? Or do you put your stuff somewhere else?

    Everything I wear is based around practicality which involves a lot carrying capacity. As someone who’s a lot on the move, this is my usual kit:

    Jeans, right pocket: Snus
    Jeans, left pocket: Bluetooth earbud charging box thingy
    Jeans, right back pocket: Boarding pass / ticket
    Jeans, left back pocket: reserved for trash
    Jacket, left front pocket: card holder, in which I also keep receipts
    Jacket, left inner pocket: Phone
    Jacket, front right pocket: varies. Usually a pack of chewing gum and a pen
    Jacket, right inner pocket: Wallet with passport and misc other important stuff
    Backpack: Two laptops, a change of clothing, USB battery bank, a bunch of adapters so I can plug in almost anywhere, phone stand, misc access cards, a plastic fork, and a toothbrush. Plenty of room to spare for things I add last minute or pick up along the way.

    When I’m only moving locally, it’s the same except I don’t bring my backpack. And when I’m not flying, I have a small multitool/knife in my right inner jacket pocket instead of my wallet.

    Oh, and up until a few hours ago I used to have my sunglasses hanging from a ring that is hanging Frodo-style around my neck. But I realized while I was boarding my plane on my way home that I’d left them in the airport lounge. No time to fetch them, but they weren’t particularly expensive.
