Cargo Pockets

I carry most of my EDC gear on my belt.
In the pockets I have..
left front- 25ft paracord, insulin pen, bandaids, and my Petzl E+lite
right front- George Costanza wallet and my shiny-new Zebra F-701 pen.
left slash- cut-down glue stick, Bic lighter, mini Sharpie and gum.
 
I've taken to wearing BDU's lately. I usually put my wallet in one (more comfortable than being in back pocket), and SAK and keys in the other one.

While hunting I have a cargo pocket sized PSK in a water proof pouch on one side. On the other usually temporary storage for gloves, balaclava, etc.

I have seen similar pouches and considered getting one and modifying into a mini first aid kit and some other essentials like a source for light & fire.

What do you carry in yours? Anyone else have one of these - what's in it?

Mine's a work in progress. When I first got it I crammed all kinds of stuff in there, but it really was too heavy to carry comfortably every day so I started weeding some things out. As it stands I currently have a very basic first aid kit in there. . . a scratch and cut kit really. . . a few band-aids of various sizes, an alcohol swab or two, some gauze, and some neosporin and some aspirin. I also have a small pry bar in there, a small DMT sharpener, a spare set of batteries for my mini maglight which rides on my belt, a small torx driver set (which I can probably take out since I've been carrying my Native instead of my Delica a lot more lately) a mini bic, and a couple of flavoring packets from ramen noodles. . . I use them for a quick broth to sip on if I end up getting stuck working a long day in the warehouse. . . It kind of fools my stomach into thinking I've had something a little more substantial and keeps me going 'till I can get home for a real meal. Oh, I usually keep my Spyderco Dragonfly in there too as a backup.

I need to maybe add some mason line and/or para-cord and maybe a backup flashlight. Oh, and duct tape. A bandanna would probably fit in pretty well too. It'll probably always be changing as I try new stuff and figure out what doesn't really work in it.
