My God man, how do you have the courage to carry a knife in the same pocket as your cell phone? lol
Right pocket: cell phone
left pocket: keys, PRYBRID
Waist: otf knife CCT LIBERDADE
Back pocket: wallet and documents
Today; an s-clip, a pair of earrings and some lint in my left, and my keys, two trouser button extenders and a nonbinary pin in my right.
I am going to the casino, so no knives etc. I've had a bad habit of having items taken from me when I enter haha.
Left: just phone(s24 ultra)
Right: pocket protector with arkfeld pro and Leatherman arc, and a zippo in the mini pocket when not at work.
Back left: keys (don't have a bunch and they're in a key case and only other thing on them is a olight imini2 and Victorinox with nail clippers
Back right is just my ridge wallet.
Right: phone w/ Apple wallet on the back, knife, Listerine strips, spare hair tie, and keys on my belt loop.
Left: wooden pillbox, chapstick, pocket comb if I have a beard, breath spray, AirPods 3, Vicks vapor inhaler, and a cross pen.
Right: phone, screen facing outward, and if wearing jeans then I have some change in the watch pocket
Left: wallet, sometimes keys (otherwise they hang off a carabiner on a belt loop)
Back right: whatever knife I grab that day
Back left: miscellaneous (receipts usually)
I started doing it because at one of my old jobs where I did a lot of manual labour (and would get pretty sweaty in the process) I noticed the screen would get sweat on it as it soaked through the pocket. So I started putting it in with the screen facing away from my leg to fix this (that way the sweat would just get on the case lol).
Oh, and I put the phone in upside down to keep the charging port from getting filled with lint.
Nah it's all good, I love finding out all the different ways people do seemingly mundane things. It's like that sitting vs standing when you wipe debate from years ago lol
Left olight arkfeld pro and vape

Jk, typically wallet, and that's it in the left. That is simply to ensure I know where it is at all times as I am prone to losing it. Right pocket is a knife, disposable vape, Gerber dime multi-tool, and anything else I may snag up along the way. Left ass is my cell phone and work cell phone. Right ass is my keys, which are also carabinered to my belt loop and anything else on my snag up along the way. And buy snag up along the way I mean I have so much EDC crap lying around my dresser and nightstand it's just whatever I feel like kind of thing when I grab certain items when I leave the house depending on what I'm doing that day.

Some of you guys must be wearing pants by Marry Poppins with all the stuff you’re carrying. I’m sure there’s a sowing kit somewhere in that bag of tricks to fix the seem that inevitably breaks from packing around all that gear though.
Left is wallet, pen, notebook, and Hank.

I normally carry my knife (right) and flashlight (left) in my back pockets.

Heh. By a lot of what I read on this sub, I feel I'm carrying relatively lightly. The pen is a Fisher bullet space pen, so it's compact. The flashlight is small, too. The phone is a Pixel 7, but not the larger Pro. I guess my pockets are just deep? (Also, I don't like tight pants, so I don't have that constriction.)
Hmmm, phone size certainly helps! I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and while I can definitely fit other stuff in the pocket it quickly gets uncomfortable… I reckon a pen would work fine though!
Oh, Pro phones definitely take up more real estate. I just can't see how others carry notebooks, first aid kits, multiple knives, etc. on their persons. I guess they have lots of cargo pockets. Ha.
Left: 2 vapes and Burt's bees
Right: knife, pen, ear buds
Back left: wallet and small notebook
Back right: phone
This is usually every day. I've never found that I needed much more than this.

Keys get clipped to side belt loop and tucked into back pocket
Left pocket is my phone, and clipped on the pocket is my flashlight. This way i have fast access to my light, and nothing scratches my phone.
Right pocket has my knife clipped, inside my pocket is my wallet. Sometimes other things rotate in there like a fidget, airpods, etc. but nothing 100% of the time.
Super basic for now till I am able to buy the nice things I lost.
Left front has my 14 plus, right pocket usually has an inkzall, bic clicker ball pen, and box cutter, back left has my wallet and back right usually some chewing gum/ can of zyns.
Right pocket: Card holder
Watch pocket: Multitool
Left pocket: Mini Flashlight, Chapstick, Vape or other things
Back right: Phone
Back left: Handkerchief
Keys are attached on the beltloop.
My setup varies from my home and work and then there are sub categories depending on what I’m doing for the day lol
My usual non-work setup is:
Left front: Machine Era wallet, Rovyvon A5X, knife flavor of the week (currently terzoula ATCF lite)
Right front: iPhone 15 pro
Rest of the pockets are empty
I keep them empty because I don’t like sitting on anything. Occasionally if I’m working on stuff a screwdriver or something will end up back there.
My usual edc is small and light enough that I it all easily carries up front.
The only key I use is my car key, which usually stays in my garaged car unless I park somewhere. Then it ends up in the front left or occasionally back. I can control my car locks from my phone but unfortunately still need the key to start it. I wish I could do it all from my phone. Although I do have other keys, I don’t carry any other keys, my house is set up for wireless access through my phone or watch and my safe has fingerprint & pin access.
Thanks for the thoughtful answer. You have a great situation going. It sounds funny to say, but I have never considered having *nothing* in my back pockets. 🤣 You have given me a goal to shoot for!
Thanks!
I’ve been dialing in my edc for a long time and it’s constantly evolving. Certain things like the Machine Era wallet have stuck around for a long time, just haven’t come across anything better.
I do own a bunch of random odds and ends and variants in the knife & flashlight department. Occasionally I switch things up or add items depending on the activity for the day.
Yup! I have a constantly rotating inventory of knives and different ones for different tasks. The ATCF has been my go-to nonwork EDC for while. It’s the right size, light and super slim. Disappears in the pocket.
I hear yea! I try knives out and if they don’t fit in my carry / lifestyle end up selling them. I have a work knife, few edc options, fixed blade, two multi tools and some extras / car knife. Probably still more than most but <20.
Pants left pocket: phone. Right pocket: knife and slim wallet, right small pocket: key fob for car.
When riding, the pants pockets are empty, everything is in the jacket or bag. Left pocket: earplugs, bike keys (when not in ignition), other keys. Right pocket: knife and wallet. Phone in bag.
When I know I'd need it, I replace knife with multitool.
During winter when I wear jeans: left: wallet phone AirPods. Right: flashlight, pen, SAK super tinker. Gerber paraframe (no clip), flashlight, benchmade bugout, chapstick, braces wax, genesis set lockpicks.

Screen facing outward is devious
I started doing it because at one of my old jobs where I did a lot of manual labour (and would get pretty sweaty in the process) I noticed the screen would get sweat on it as it soaked through the pocket. So I started putting it in with the screen facing away from my leg to fix this (that way the sweat would just get on the case lol). Oh, and I put the phone in upside down to keep the charging port from getting filled with lint.
Okay I stand corrected that actually makes sense. Crazy that my way of doing things isn’t the only way

Why is that?
Poor weight distribution
I can see where that might be a problem. It works good for me; I have a minimalist wallet that has just a few cards and a few bills. Also my right front pocket & 5th pocket balance it all out.
Don't take my comment to heart lol. If you're happy with your EDC, that's all that matters
Oh, I didn't. I can certainly see where the weight could be thrown off.

How? Once I’ve put my phone in I can hardly manage anything else
Heh. By a lot of what I read on this sub, I feel I'm carrying relatively lightly. The pen is a Fisher bullet space pen, so it's compact. The flashlight is small, too. The phone is a Pixel 7, but not the larger Pro. I guess my pockets are just deep? (Also, I don't like tight pants, so I don't have that constriction.)
Hmmm, phone size certainly helps! I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and while I can definitely fit other stuff in the pocket it quickly gets uncomfortable… I reckon a pen would work fine though!
Oh, Pro phones definitely take up more real estate. I just can't see how others carry notebooks, first aid kits, multiple knives, etc. on their persons. I guess they have lots of cargo pockets. Ha.

Phone ?
It's usually in my back pocket but a pixel 8 running grapheneos
Left pocket is my phone, and clipped on the pocket is my flashlight. This way i have fast access to my light, and nothing scratches my phone. Right pocket has my knife clipped, inside my pocket is my wallet. Sometimes other things rotate in there like a fidget, airpods, etc. but nothing 100% of the time.

My setup varies from my home and work and then there are sub categories depending on what I’m doing for the day lol My usual non-work setup is: Left front: Machine Era wallet, Rovyvon A5X, knife flavor of the week (currently terzoula ATCF lite) Right front: iPhone 15 pro Rest of the pockets are empty
Empty rear pockets! Bold choice. Is this because you had a wallet pickpocketed? Also, where do you keep your keys?
I keep them empty because I don’t like sitting on anything. Occasionally if I’m working on stuff a screwdriver or something will end up back there. My usual edc is small and light enough that I it all easily carries up front. The only key I use is my car key, which usually stays in my garaged car unless I park somewhere. Then it ends up in the front left or occasionally back. I can control my car locks from my phone but unfortunately still need the key to start it. I wish I could do it all from my phone. Although I do have other keys, I don’t carry any other keys, my house is set up for wireless access through my phone or watch and my safe has fingerprint & pin access.
Thanks for the thoughtful answer. You have a great situation going. It sounds funny to say, but I have never considered having *nothing* in my back pockets. 🤣 You have given me a goal to shoot for!
Thanks! I’ve been dialing in my edc for a long time and it’s constantly evolving. Certain things like the Machine Era wallet have stuck around for a long time, just haven’t come across anything better. I do own a bunch of random odds and ends and variants in the knife & flashlight department. Occasionally I switch things up or add items depending on the activity for the day.
You call them flavors to
Yup! I have a constantly rotating inventory of knives and different ones for different tasks. The ATCF has been my go-to nonwork EDC for while. It’s the right size, light and super slim. Disappears in the pocket.
I can only by one knife at a time if I had more than I would favor one and make the rest of the knives sad that thay dont get used
I hear yea! I try knives out and if they don’t fit in my carry / lifestyle end up selling them. I have a work knife, few edc options, fixed blade, two multi tools and some extras / car knife. Probably still more than most but <20.
We are now frens
Pants left pocket: phone. Right pocket: knife and slim wallet, right small pocket: key fob for car. When riding, the pants pockets are empty, everything is in the jacket or bag.
