Hi!

1º Small bag (to carry EDC)
2º Keys (keyring is a homemade bamboo kubotan)
3º Cash
4º Credit cards
5º Cell phone
6º Knife (RSK mk5)
7º Mini led flashlight (Gerber Tempo)

I have more stuff (lighter, and so...) but I don't use it much.

In my life:

1. Cell phone (iphone or other smartphone)
2. Keys
3. Credit Cards
4. Something for water (cup, bottle, whatever)
5. Writing Instrument and Paper
6. Pocket knife

I use cash very, very infrequently, but as a result of this forum, I carry more than I used to, but not really enough.

I just got back from a 48 hour in and out trip to Los Angeles and didn't spend cash once.

• iPhone
• Ritter Minigrip
• Quark 123
• Keys (includes Preon ReVO flashlight in leather sheath, LM Squirt PS4, keys to house, office, CERT trailer)
• Car keys (includes car key, remote starter, house key, Mobil SpeedPass)
• Wallet (includes concealed carry permit, driver's license, credit cards, ATM card, cash)
• Pistol (most often a S&W M&P 40 compact, with a full-size spare magazine)
• Fisher bullet pen
• iPhone earbuds

Outside, if you don't count outerwear, the additions are sunglasses and a pack of Kleenex.

Excepting the pistol and the Kleenex and counting the keys and wallet each as one unit, I use every one of these items almost every day for something. I don't use a lot of cash, but when you need it you often need it right now. My practice is to carry at least two hundred dollars -- by withdrawing it in big chunks I go to the ATM less often, and almost never have to pay fees for using "foreign" ATMs.
