    I really hate having a lot of stuff in my pocket. I carry a iPhone 4 in a life proof case, my wallet and a kershaw 1660 and that's it.

    Your handle fits you well! I didn't know anyone still carried a check book! :p

    I am a tech guy. For me the flashlight is a must although I have been thinking about buying a single cell tube to make it lighter and smaller. It's a programmable "smart" flashlight. Perfect for reading small text in dark places with my old tired eyes. Also at 300 lumens with strobe mode it will completely blind a bad guy at night.

    I keep all my important docs and family photos on the thumb drive. Docs are encrypted depending on the sensitivity of the information. A bomb, tornado, fire, flood, etc... could destroy my home and I would have everything I need including stuff that can notbe replaced.

    A swap out guns depending on my attire. Sometime carry a S&W Bodyguard in .380 ACP if I am wearing my speedo (joking), but it does make a nice pocket pistol. :)

    Phone, wallet, keys, gerber knife, pack of marlboro 27's and a lighter. My truck is another story. I've got everything you could possibly need in there. If I broke down in the middle of nowhere I have enough to survive a few days.

    I keep a BOB or "Get Home Bag" in my vehicle as well. I don't go overboard on this but have the essentials I would need to spend a few days somewhere other then home.

    It's as simple as SSS in the morning.

    Phone, wallet, keys and give the triple pat feeling each pocket to make sure all 3 are there every time I get up to leave somewhere.
