Ask Lemmy

Generally positive attitude

I always leave mine at home so it doesn't get ruined.

My glasses. I can't see without my glasses

Shoes and shirt, or no service otherwise.

"Testicles, spectacles, wallet, and watch"

Keys, glasses, wallet, and phone.

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.

My parrot....I'm a pirate 🤫.

Keys, wallet, phone, vape. Pants are optional, but they do help with carrying the other stuff.

It's funny, for years my list was keys, wallet, and phone, and of those it's the keys that go back the furthest. I had a key to my parents house when I was a young teen, and I've always carried keys with me since (I'm in my 60s now). I sold my house a couple months ago, and I've been living in a hotel until I close on a condo, and it feels so strange not to own any keys now, just the key card for the hotel.

Phone + Insulin pen.

My sensor is stuck to my arm anyways, so I'm not counting that.

Clothes, unfortunately. If I go out nude, the nation will bankrupt itself trying to get a front-row viewing of this show~

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 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.

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.

Spectacles Testicles Wallet Phone

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.

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

Clothes. Mostly because public nudity is frowned upon by some people.

Keys, phone, wallet. Watch if needing to know the time is relevant on my trip.

I'm a simple man.

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.

Keys, I want to get back in eventually.

Everything else depends on where I'm going.

Keys, wallet, phone, pick set (licensed locksmith and it comes in handy), pocket knife. Usually leave the last 2 at home if I am planning on going to anything with security checks.

Wallet, phone, keys.

Keys suck ass though. I can get in through my garage or keypad on the front door. I've got a key hidden in case the power is out. However, I have to carry these giant blocks that let me start my truck or SUV. I hate them. I HATE carrying a giant block in my pocket. I wish I could just have an old style key to start my truck.

There is nothing I always take with me, but I usually have my phone and underwear. Everything else is up in the air.

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
