This is what I typically carry in my pockets most days. I have a fuller load out in a sling bag that I take depending on the day’s activities, usually if I’ll be out and about with the dogs.
- Old Hound slip and San Mai knife with titanium frame, desert ironwood scales and pearl inlay. (Love this knife!!)
- Handkerchief
- Street brass Zippo with refillable butane insert
- Grav dugout set
- Car key
- Modern Carry slim leather card wallet
- House and mailbox keys
Not pictured:
- Phone and smart watch.
I wish it was more normal for men to carry bags/ purses or fanny packs etc all the time. Both casually and professionally.
Just go for it! I’m seeing it more and there’s no reason to carry a huge backpack when you only need space for a handful of things.
I got a waxed canvas cross body sling bag that carries everything I need with some space to add on for one offs.
In my bag is:
-
Waxed canvas tool roll with my late grandfathers Gerber multitool, Schafer Old Timer knife, knipex 125, sharpie, pens, field notebook and flashlight
-
Waxed canvas pouch with mini first aid kit (supplies for me and the dogs), vetwrap, usb wall adapter, multi type charging cord, and power bank
-
32 oz. Nalgene with water
-
Collapsible dog bowl
-
dog poop bags and glasses cleaning cloth in the small pocket
-
clipped in different spots is a locking carabiner for leash hooking and used poop bag holder with clip
I carry it less this time of year. It’s getting cooler and the dogs don’t need water in the winter weather like in the summer. Plus, I have most of the stuff I’d need from my bag in the cars winter kit and some winter specific stuff.
I just keep stuff in my car, never too far away from my car if i’m out
Same, the bag is usually for hiking with the dogs.

I occasionally see men carrying fanny packs over their shoulder like a sling pack.
If I didn’t have a decades long love affair with cargo pants I might do the same thing.
