MiniMe's post reaches back into the mists of the forum before the upgrade and his link to my junk is broken. Here is what I used to carry and consider "normal"

I have revised and slimmed my list down considerably but it still revolves around a core set of items in my pockets, belt and vest (never without a vest), and a shoulder bag. My shoulder bag is now almost exclusively a Ham radio station for my emergency worker role. It also includes shelter building options.

Carry what you think is reasonable given your probable emergencies, and keep tuning and revising. The absolute key, in my view, is to have the absolute basics---as defined by you---on your person at all times. For me, this is shelter, water carrying and purifying, knives, leatherman, firemaking, small first aid, leather gloves, whistle, flashlight, house and car keys, money, ID, bandana, and a decent repair kit.
