Hello guys, This is my first post here. I've read a few of the comments on the other posts and think this is a great community! Ok, so if you have to choose 3 items to carry with you at all times, wherever you go... what would they be? Look forward to your answers and ideas...! Best regards and keep safe, ProactiveOne

agreed, could you be more specific? do these three items include stuff everyone has like watch and wallet? assuming clothing and basic wallet items like cash and ID aren't included in the three, i'd say cellphone, light, and multitool.

When not anticipating going through security screening I presently always have on me -- in the city or the woods:
knife
LED light
whistle
To get at what I think you're trying to get at, I'm ignoring keys, cash and cell.

knife, small flashlight, matches or lighter if we are talking about outdoors; in town, it's wallet, key ring, cell phone (key ring has light, small knife, whistle, and spare cash)

Would never limit it to three, so it's hard to choose. In town: Mini Mag on keyring, Victorinox Classic, pepper spray elsewhere: Mini Mag on keyring, Leatherman Wave, lighter

Mini-RSK Mk1 Knife Photon LED Light Paracord in wrist bracelet
I could cheat and say one item is my PSK which is Doug's PSK with an added Photon light and RSK Mk5. I EDC that in my briefcase, cars and motorcycles so it is always with me, and it contains all the above. Then I can have two more!

<checks pockets> aluminum scaled swiss army knife a lighter (refillable butane at the moment) money
I have more in my pockets than I just mentioned right now, and I usually have a much larger assortment of trinkets, but those 3 items are always with me.
