You guys get along with so little. Here’s what I never leave the house without, carried in a Fjällräven Greenland size S bag…:

– phone (up until recently I had a tiny Nokia dumbphone for voice calls because it sucks when someone calls on the smartphone during navigation while on motorcycle…) – wallet with home and office keys attached – a metal ring coupled to the bag strap for car / bike keys – case for glasses if I need to take them off (rarely used though) – tiny knife that masquerades as a bottle opener – bag with USB charger, power bank, assortment of short USB cables for all occasions, Arch Linux boot stick – a pen and a couple of permanent markers – travel toothbrush – lighter (I don’t smoke but it makes me friends) – some lucky charms: gemstones picked by my daughter tied into a ‘sausage’ with some stretch fabric – T1D stuff: insulin pens in a gorgeous leather roll made by a friend - glucose meter with accessories - bag with pen needles - plastic jar with lid for used needles - pocket scale for weighing stuff to calculate carbs - glucose tablets and Skittles (great for microdosing carbs)

Not in shot: wrist watch.

      Man, if Lemmy had enough users to sustain niche communities, an edc space dedicated to accessibility devices and other items that help people live life would be fucking awesome

      What does OT jewelry mean in this context?

          You might like this thing. It’s a tool for self-massage, invented by a Finnish wheelchair-bound person to quite literally scratch an itch :) I have one in the sauna and love it!

    Lmao, I love your tread on me patch, and that knife is super nifty!

    This looks like a lovely and super practical carry, thanks for sharing it!

    Its always really interesting to get a glimpse into the world of someone who has to deal with very different things than yourself- the jar for needles seems like an excellent way to dispose of them!

    I’ve thought about carrying a lighter just for other folks but I’m not sure enough people in the spaces I inhabit smoke enough I’d ever be able to offer it to folks. Though I don’t get our much anyway, so that doesn’t really help either 😅

    I carry my phone, cards and cash using a binder clip as a money clip, and my keys. That’s it.

    Well in defense of women, I do depend on my wife for a lot of that stuff.

    For the record, I reciprocate when we go on vacation. I usually carry a backpack with everything and it is often very heavy with bottles of water.

      LOL :D In every relationship there’s the organised, trustworthy one and the one not so… Let’s just say I prefer to depend on myself for the essentials XD
