Travel Light Everyday Carry?

Belt
Watch
Spyderco Military
Wallet
Phone
Keys

That's my bare minimum. Sometimes add a pen, Sharpie, another Spyderco (Terzuola, Endura, Rescue), maybe a corkscrew for the job. No CCW so I don't carry, otherwise it'd be my Colt Series 70 and three mags of 230gr Hydrashoks.

Dillon gun belt, SP101 .357, (or sometimes a Glock 26), folding knife, watch, wallet and keys. The cell phone usually stays in the car. The CCW stays on my belt about 12-15 hours a day.

Hey Skunk. Sometimes more. Never less, except the cell phone. I hate those things.

Wallet
Belt
Knife
Keys
Gun
Ammo

No watch, no cell, no pepper spray, bludgeon or whistle most of the time.

There is a little tiny led light on my key ring. I carry a bigger light when I know I'll be out at night.

e2e surefire on belt in case
beeper on belt
sak multi-tool on belt
sak hiker in LFP
Persian or Chinook2 clipped to the RFP

No watch or cell phone [ beeper has the time, cell phone stays in the car ].

That would be a normal day thats light on equipment for me.

If I'm working an assignment, the above and two pistols with extra ammo as well as a straight knife [ probably the Perrin in a drawpoint sheath by Mike Sastre ]. The belt can get crowded pretty quick like this though.

This is my minimum. To reach my maximum add in a weak side mag/light carrier with a light and mag in it.....

I always travel pretty light, but am able to carry a fair amount of stuff. I use a small Galco fanny pack (slung over shoulder) to hold:

- sunglasses (Maui Jim Ti)
- clipons shades for prescription glasses
- small Sebenza
- cell phone and spare battery
- Surefire L4 flashlight
- pen
- trioplex protein bar
- mini-bic lighter
- pills, pen, change
- wallet
- Bianchi speedstrip, 5 rounds 357.

Amazingly, this man purse can carry it all - the neoprene backing of the design helps bear the weight.

In the pocket (pant or jacket) is an S&W 340PD riding in a DeSantis holster.

Minimum/usual:
Wallet
Keys
Back-up keys for home and car
Leatherman
Zippo
Pack of Winstons
Cell phone

Cheap Winchester swiss-army copy on the keychain
2-AA Maglite
Cigar cutter
Small butane torch
Pen (complete with prescription drug logo, changes daily)
Blank scrap paper
Pack of Beemans Gum
Pack of Dunhill International (yes, in addition to the Winstons )
Money in the wallet

That's 'bout it...

Nothing like having 51 rounds of .40 S&W on your person. A roomy jacket helps, of course....

Any more junk than that and I start to feel a bit weighed down. As it stands, I perfer cargo/carpenter jeans so I can spread out my gear a bit. If I can't throw a kick at head-height comfortably, I'm not a happy camper

The only things that are always, always, always with me are my wallet and knife.

-James

Drop the watch and the cellphone then add a 2 ounce pocket knife and a holster to your list. That's not traveling light for me however, that's everyday. I'll dump the chained leather wallet occasionally in favor of one of those ziplock swimmer's wallets.

The big weight savings for me is in footwear. My riding boots must weigh 5 lbs apiece, trading these off for a pair of flip-flops on a hot day lightens things up so much I could fly

Spectacles, testacies, wallet, and watch.

and often a pistol too

As long as I am wearing pants with pockets, I have a S&W 642 and a speedloaderin my front pockets. Also always carry a Spyderco Delica. I have a AAA Maglite solitare on my key chain.

These days I'm a little loaded
