What are some small, pocketable/keychainable items that are worth carrying everywhere you go? (lemmy.world)

My kit:

pocket knife
flashlight
wallet
folding phone stand
phone
earbuds
pen (with a cap, not a clicky)
sharpie
breath mints
4' multi-end charging cable
thumb drive
lightning > 3.5mm (aux)
USBC > 3.5mm
bandaids
OTC drugs (Advil, Tylenol, Aleve, Benadryl, lactase (I'm lactose intolerant))

Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn't have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.

A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.

You a fan of cargo shorts?

I actually fit it all in my blue jeans! I have a pocket organizer that holds the small stuff and it all works out spacewise. Heavy though, have to wear a belt to keep everything in place.

This feels less like a pocketable list and more solidly in purse territory. Not that there's anything wrong with carrying a purse, but I would struggle to fit all this stuff in even my most pocketed cargo shorts.

I have an awesome pocket organizer thing I was gifted that holds all the small stuff. So I'm really only putting like 5 things in my pockets when I'm getting ready to walk out the door.

You must have very deep pockets!
