All the crap I used to carry around in my pockets always wore holes in them long before the pants were worn out, so now I carry it all in a bum bag. It's much more convenient, but I don't much like the bum bag itself, so I'm looking for a sporran now. I'm not Scottish or anything, I just like the idea of using a sporran instead of a bum bag. |

17 Apr 05 - 11:41 AM (#1463558) Subject: RE: BS: What's in Your Pocket? From: Stilly River Sage Amazing how many of you carry rocks in your pockets. I have my rock in my shoulder pack. (I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!) I agree with the remark about stuff in your pockets wearing out your pockets faster than the rest of the pants. I have streamlined the whole operation so I carry the essentials in my Eagle "fling" one-strapped shoulder pack. Frees up my pockets some. (If that link doesn't keep working, the site is http://www.travelcountry.com . I looked for a long time before I found this small, tough, well-designed pack.) In my left pocket now I carry my house and post office keys (no work keys--they're on a separate ring in my pack--the size of a couple of those keys would cause serious groin injury if they're tangled in a pocket). In my right pocket I carry a folded linen handkerchief and my truck key and opener. I separated the keys when I found it too easy for the wad to set off the red button of my truck alarm when I dropped my pants in the bathroom. My Old Timer pocket knife doesn't ride in that pocket for the same reason. I carry it in my back pocket (though I carry it less now after 9-11 because for a while I was afraid that I'd lose it at some checkpoint during the day). SRS |

Also have a Fred Kelly thumbpick, Dunlop flatpicks, hair elastics, spare change like a couple of loonies or a toonie or two, keys with a Goderich Celtic Festival key fob containing emergency picks and a pay phone quarter, often my rings and bracelet if I'm working in the yard or shop, tools... Rarely carry my wallet as it rarely has more than moths in it anyway. Also on my person will be a Gerber multitool pliers, sometimes a discman (just got an MP3 player but haven't used it yet), and if I'm away maybe a ruck sack, courier bag, or sling sack with drinks, reading material, cds, pencil, glasses, another knife, whistle, hat, screwdriver, plastic bags for the dog's business...
