There's just something about the way gear rides in the pockets of slacks that makes it very uncomfortable to cram alot of stuff in them. Plus I would be walking around with big bulges in my pockets.

My keychain has a Leatherman Micra, Inova, p-38 can opener and keys. But keys for two vehicles, house, safe, tire lock, work drawers tend to take up space.

I have always carried my wallet in my front pocket after a trip in the 80's to NYC. I was cautioned to "watch out for pick pockets". I put my wallet in my front pocket and never looked back. But I am curious where all these people with wallets stuffed full of gear carry things that would normally be in the wallet? Credit card, atm cards, gas cards, health cards, SS card, voter registration, blood doner, video rental, day care security card(lets me in to get my kid), money, business cards and the rest of those daily important items. I don't have room for paracord in my wallet. I'm just curious.

Don't get me wrong, I would love to have a wallet with paracord in it...but there's just no room. I do have a briefcase from Duluth Trading Company that I love.
The Fully Evolved Briefcase

It sits right beside me. But I understand where Martin is coming from...when I go out at lunch..I don't carry the whole bag. It's tough to be prepared and fashionable at the same time. Jeans aren't an option where I work, so I will just have to keep looking for the perfect set up. I do like the idea of a leg holster or pouch to hold gear. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
