Well, let's see:
Wallet (actually overstretched leather card case) with I.D.'s, various credit cards, mini list (as in small font) of meds that my wife and I take, mini-list of important serial numbers (goodies like weapons, cameras, etc, just in case they should come up missing), and quite a bit of hide-out cash ($20 or so won't get you much these days); pen and pocked notebook; at least two pocket packs of Kleenex; two bandanas; Surefire G2 two spare C123 batteries; Leatherman New Wave; Leatherman Micra on ring with a Uncle Bills Sliver Gripper and a little metal toothpick; money clip with cash; usually Kahr MK40 with spare mag; red dog tag with my really important meds, ACR whistle and photon on the chain; pull-apart keyring with every important key, including a handcuff key (still got a few pair of cuffs around too), and a Proto screwdriver. Just for sentimental reasons, my orignial USAF dog tag, and my wifes original USN dog tags. Cell phone (with the ringer turned off. Hate phones ringing all over the place). Probably more, but that is all that comes to mind at the moment. Did I mention that I really like cargo pants???
How could I have forgotten my original P-38, and a BSA Hotspark on the keyring???

Leigh,
I teach at an all-girls high school (ages 14 - 18 here in the former colonies)and I'm the first or second teacher that they seek out when they have a flat tire or dead battery. My fellow teachers also seek me out when they are having equipment malfunctions. I recently received acclaim when I cleared a jammed photocopier with my photon II, Leatherman Squirt S4 and a coat hanger. My colleagues know that I always have some tools, duct tape, and other ETS type stuff locked away in my classroom.
It's a terrible burden sometimes, but being the dependable one does have some rewards. When my wife kisses me and say's that I'm her hero, well, that's something that money can't buy.

I got a call tonight from my coworker that he had locked his keys in his work truck and needed me to drive there and unlock the door for him.
You know when your EDC is too much when you start carrying spare keys for other peoples vehicles!

P.S. Of course I now get to tease my coworker tomorrow morning, until he pays me off with a coffee at breaktime!
