Another Pocket Dump Thread (with a twist). Kinda.

Have you looked at the PocKit EDC Pocket Organizer from Yellow Birch Outfitters? When needed it allows me to carry several extra things in my back pocket including a flashlight, batteries, Leatherman, extra ammo, and a few first-aide items.
 
I almost always wear Wrangler jeans, and the relatively small pockets make things a little more challenging. Also, especially during these months, I'm off and on horses pretty regularly. Most of the stuff I carry isn't comfortable to ride with, and it gets old taking a bunch in and out. So I don't carry quite as much as I'd always like. I carry a hankerchief and main folder in my RFP, phone in my RRP, wallet and Rite in the Rain notepad in my LRP, flashlight of varying sizes (either a AA or 2 CR123), Zippo, and Fisher Bullet Pen in LFP, and finally, a Victorinox Champion Plus in the Victorinox leather Zermatt sheath on my right side.
 
My knives to in my left front pocket, multitool goes on my belt left side, my phone goes in my right front pocket, wallet goes in my right leg cargo shorts pocket or leg pocket on my Dickie's pants, earbuds either go with my phone or in my leg cargo pocket with wallet.
Everything else ( light...ect ) goes in an original USA made nite ize pock-its on my belt right side.
 
2" William Henry in left pocket, keys in right pocket and wallet in back left pocket...that's it...don't carry a gun or a phone...don't need them...

Cheers/bg
 
I like this thread! In the summer months I'm a construction foreman and a barn/farm manager (stonemason and horse farmer), I'm also the mechanic / handyman at both places so I carry quite a bit with me everywhere I go. One bag is strictly tools so I won't bore everyone with it, this is my main bag that again, I don't go anywhere without.

BTW It's a Condor small modular "assault" pack. Also note not pictures is the good stationary pad I have in the back most pocket, half my hardscape and half my barn letterhead.

Front two small pockets:
Zebralight headlamp
Spare nimh AA's (usually I try to have 10 on me mondays, I charge them on the weekends as I go threw them and as you can see it's Thursday and I have 4 left charged)
Small container with important "left over" bolts from the days jobs
Writing utensils and phone chargers, note the red "foremans" carpenters pensils for "fix it" marks.
Tick tweezers (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)


Middle pocket:
Canon Chdk camera and extended battery for long term timelapses of job sites
Deodorant spray
Band aids / trauma bandage / other FAK stuff (not removed from bag for pic)
Wet wipes


Main pocket:
EFI live flashscan V2 dual mfg with minimum of one spare VIN license always preloaded
Collapsible dog water bowl
Spare clean work shirt and socks
Rain ponchos for my guys (my good rain gear is always in my truck)
Sunscreen
Phone belt clip
Spare space for misc daily need items


Outside:
Climbing rated [locking] carabiner
Multiple pliers (irregardless of what other pairs may be in tool bag I always have these snap-on needle nose and these Klein linemans pliers)
Spare trailer hitch mechanism locking pin
Spray neosporen
Forceps for retrieving small parts from holes without having to dig threw either bag since they're right there






On-person carry to come (maybe tomorrow)
 
Mine is pretty simple:
RFP - keys and usually a Buck 303, though lately I have been carrying a Spyderco Sage 5
RRP - handkerchief
LRP - billfold
LFP - loose change, Leatherman Squirt PS4, and chapstick
Shirt pocket - reading glasses, pen, and Streamlight Stylus Pro
I carry my cellphone in a pouch attached to my belt on my left hip and if I'm carrying my pistol it's on my right hip. If I don't have a shirt pocket the flashlight clips in my left pocket, my pen goes in my glasses case which I carry in my hand.

Your much like I am in what you carry and how it is set up. Here is my break down and some of the things I want to change.
I guess that this should have been stated in the OP.

RFP- Keys and modern folder w/pocket clip (Benchmade 531 or the like).
RRP- Nothing specific. Sometimes I will carry a handkerchief but, not often. This pocket normally is my catch all for the
stuff I acquire throughout the day.
LRP- Billfold and nothing else, ever.
LFP- iPhone, loose coinage and some paper currency.
Shirt pocket- As an eye care professional, this pocket is filled with a PD ruler, lens marker, rollerball pen for charting, etc.

That is in the workplace. At home and on weekends things are a little different. A Griptilian normally replaces the 531. and I may carry a Gerber MP600 Scout multi-tool on my right hip or a FB knife on my left instead of a folder. If I am in cargo pants, everything from my rear pockets gets moved to the right & left cargos. If I choose to carry sidearm, it is on my right hip.

My plan is for my iPhone to get moved to my belt (above LFP). I don't like the idea but it's only thing I've come up with. I also have few things that I should carry, like an Epi-pen and Nitrostat. I figure the Nitrostat can ride on my belt next to my phone. I just need to find a small belt pouch. The Epi-pen can go with all the stuff I want to have around but don't need to carry on my person. Stuff like, AA flashlight, extra pen & pencil, notepad, back up folder (SAK Pioneer), power cord for phone, Gerber EAB, lens cloth/cleaner, lighter. My Gerber Scout multi-tool will also get moved here and I'll carry a compact MP400, if needed.

I feel that it is past time for a pouch of some sort. That is why I started this thread. If you have any better ideas, I would love to hear them.
