Yeah, what is the bare minimum you find you must keep with you day in, day out. That sort of thing.

For quite a while I was edc'ing a messenger bag with a lot more stuff, but aside from my briefcase, I only ever have just a few items with me constantly now.

Of course, my modus operandi has changed significantly as well, ergo most of the stuff in the Messenger bag isn't as vital for everyday activity as it was. Still, I do have more junk in my briefcase, but it isn't "attached" to me like the messenger bag was, nor like the few items I tote in pockets now.

Yeah, I forgot to mention the wedding ring and the watch.
