EDC - What's In Your Pocket(s)??? Part 2

Alright, I get the watches, flashlights, Leatherman's, and other gear, (I personally carry one knife, a little light on my keychain, wallet, phone, and my sunglasses) but chapstick seems to be something at least half the people EDC. I have never carried chapstick, I guess I have some in my car (probably), and I know my wife has some in her purse but the chapstick thing has surprised me. If you really needed, you could go buy it, a nice watch or a Spyderco, not so easy. The guys that do EDC it, do you use it a lot, or is it a just-in-case thing? Maybe my lips are just not dry like lots of people? And, do you pocket everything? I would see the need for a fanny pack with some of the gear people edc, haha. Not naysaying, just curious here so please no overly defensive respones.
 
I used to have them in my pocket or schoolbag in winter, but its been years since I last used a chapstick. I found if my lips were dry or split, it doesn't really bother me at all because it doesn't hurt and it heals anyway after a few days.

tl;dr: I don't carry them anymore:-)

I generally have a tube of Carmex somewhere within my reach, lunge or grasp especially during the fall and winter.

I usually like to carry some because every time I need chapstick I seem to never have it. :D

Yeah, chapstick is an EDC for me. I guess it's a personal preference thing, but my lips do hurt when they split, and I don't really like leaving blood on my food.

Chapstick with me, today, too. Traveling light because I'm moving a lot of boxes.

I also want to give my Timberland boots huge credit for being the most comfortable thing I've ever put my feet in.
 
This today, lots of pockets when I'm at work,

When I'm not at work: one knife, a watch, chapstick, gum, keys, phone, wallet, sunglasses. The Glocks have to stay home now that I live in California. I just close my eyes and reach in here for a knife.
