Empty your pockets.. Traditional knife and stuff.. please No Moderns & No guns

[mudguard]

I know this forum focuses on the pocket knives we have and carry.. here is a twist to it though. Post a picture of everything in your pockets (please include your pocket knife) and if you can a brief description of what is there and why.

If we collect 50 posts I'll begin a surprise giveaway within this thread. Enjoy ladies and gentlemen!

Here is a treat I found to kick things off.. not my pockets but James Harrison's pockets..

James Harrison was not a smokejumper at the time of the Mann Gulch fire. He was a camp ranger at Meriwether Canyon and he worked for ranger Robert Jansson.

Jansson was the one who located James Harrison's charred remains, on the morning after the 5 August 1949 fire that swept Mann Gulch.

James Harrison was an extremely likeable 20 year old ranger. Jansson found the snake bite kit he had personally given James Harrison, just weeks before. Also at his body were: a Forest Service Ranger's wooden cased compass; a comb; sunglasses; eyeglasses; two pocket knives; two pennies; a writing pen; and a pocket watch. The hands of the pocket watch were melted in place at a few minutes before 6 pm, when the fire must have been catching up to most of the men.

James Harrison had hiked up to the lightening caused fire, before the smokejumpers arrived and had been trying to build a fire break in front of it for four hours on his own.

James Harrison yelled out to Wag Dodge, after the smokejumpers landed, and James joined the crew to fight the fire. 13 young men lost their lives attempting to fight the Mann Gulch fire. James Harrison was one of them.

Here are Lincoln's pockets for anyone who hasn't seen this image:

Good idea, haven't done this in a while :thumbup:

Here's what I've had in my pockets from mid afternoon today. I've included the contents of my jacket pockets. I also habitually carry a small rucsac, and carry a few items (spork, man-tin, etc) in that too.

The contents of my pockets on 11-20-13 are as follows: Wallet, keys on carabiner, my 'retro phone' as my daughter calls it, loose change including my lucky penny, small magnifying glass and one of Charlie's Barlow picks which fit into the small white pouch, notebook and ballpoint, reading glasses in case, tin of mints, bandana, and last, but certainly not least, the fine Farm & Field Bullnose soddie that I received as a gift from Meako today

you guys carry too much crap!
Coach wallet and a Peanut. The coach wallet has a money clip on the other side. I try to be as minimalist as possible! Loving the peanut, I just got it a few weeks ago! Literally nothing I dislike about the peanut design.

this sounds lie a cool GAW

Here is what is in my pocket. I omitted the lint.

 

[muphasta]

I'll have to take my picture later. It is against the rules to take pix where I work.

 

[sitflyer]

Haha! I'll play along on this one...




My keys, with an original Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper tweezers :thumbup:
variable volt/variable watt electronic cigarette
crappy cell phone with a 1 dollar Belize coin ( I always have a lucky coin on me, always!)
over stuffed wallet with like 7$ in cash
Small Douk-Douk
Queen Dan Burk Barlow

around the house I loose the keys and wallet, and probably have two e-cigs within reach

Not pictured is the Droid Razr Maxx I used to take this pic. The GEC Hayn' Helper I typically carry on a workday, since it's great for cutting up boxes. On an off-day I usually have a multi-blade traditional like the Camillus stockman pictured. It's hard to see in the picture, but the shield is an advertisement for MoorMan's feed, for which my departed grandpa was a salesman. It wasn't one of his (I got it off of eBay), but it's a great reminder of him and the good man that he was.

I've always wondered why there wasn't a consistent "pocket dump" thread. I sometimes do a pocket dump for the normal edc thread. This is what i have today:

Top: sketchbook central waterproof notebook (got through the pif thread)

Middle left to right:, keys with; leatherman squirt ps4/stream light nano/and Tacoma key, temporary phone (turning non temporary though), GEC Sheepfoot Charlow Smooth Ivory Bone

Bottom: Wallet (usual contents)

EDIT!!! This is a stupid excuse, but I use an app for the forum and it doesn't tell me which subforum a thread is in automatically. I assumed because it was a "pocket dump" it was in general knife discussion. I did not mean to break any rules, I like an area dedicated to traditionals. I edited my picture to fit. I apologize and did not mean to detract from the thread or subforum.

There is a consistent pocket dump thread. It's over in the Gadgets and Gear forum: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/forumdisplay.php/731-Gadgets-amp-Gear

I try to travel light. GEC boy's knife, a couple keys & screwdriver, bison wallet. The particular knife changes depending on my whim. The snakes stay at home.

Here's my pockets for today. A brown mule Sodbuster for food stuff. The Eco knives kiridashi for mail, boxes and any other non food tasks. My swissgear wallet with exactly $0.00 cause I'm broke and unemployed. It also holds my ID and all important library card. And a solar powered keychain LED light. These little buggers are great for having around and I've yet to have one die on me. My house is also dark in the daytime so the flashlight is handy. And last is my trusty iphone 5 sporting a Magpul field case. The phone serves as my camera, iPod, internet portal, gaming device, GPS and all around sanity keeper.
And thank you for the chance!

Here is mine minus the android I used to take the pic. I don't like much stuff in my pockets. The Thrunite flashlight I always have since it is so handy. I am a network admin so it somes in handy when I am in a dark spot looking for cables.
