I live the Quiver's integrated tool clamps a lot; they seem perfect for a camp shovel, baton, or a FuBar. The hydration mounts are also a huge plus; that, the clamps, and space for other tools and a netbook make it the perfect hackpack. When I get a full travel pack, something like that will be on the list to go with as a daypack.

I'd use a larger pack as a day pack, but when I'm, say, Running a bit of parkour, or something where I need to move fast and light, I'd go for something like that.
For some reason I keep watching these stupid "Every Day Carry" or "EDC" videos on youtube, so I decided to necro this thread.
I usually keep a couple knives on me since they come in handy. At least my Swiss Army, but I like having a nice folder on me as well. That folder is actually really nice and doesn't wiggle at all which is surprising for a 5$ knife. I ordered a Kubotan the other day for my keychain just in case, and I do have an expandable baton but I'm not really that paranoid so I doubt I'd need it. Frankly I'm more afraid of a police officer catching me with the baton than running into someone I'd need to use it on. My main thing is just carrying tools on me. Besides my two knives I've got a mini swiss army knife on my keychain, and one of those key multitools as well. I also have a credit-card sized steel multi tool in my wallet in case I ever forget my knife or keys. Besides that I always like to keep a lighter on me even though I don't smoke. You never know when you'll need a lighter.
I hate using purses, so I use the same jacket every day.
Left inner breast pocket: My ID and my iPod. In the rare cases my mother asks me to take money from the ATM or pay something with her card, I carry said card in it.
Right inner breast pocket: Nothing
Left lower pocket: Spare change
Right lower pocket: Cellphone, more spare change and keys, in case I don't wear jeans.
If I'm wearing jeans, I hang my keys from one of the belt loops.
As to why I carry my ID in my breast pocket, it's because I don't have a wallet. The last one I had was stolen last year and it was a kick in the groin.
I Really like cargo jeans but they don't seem to make the ones I like anymore, so I've mostly switched over to carpenter jeans. I keep my wallet in my left front pocket ( I hate having stuff in my back pockets), my Swiss Army knife, pen, lighter and flashdrive in my right front pocket with my keys clipped to my belt loop with a carabiner and put in that pocket as well. I keep my folding knife clipped to the inside of my upper right front pocket ( the pocket in a pocket) and my phone in the small pocket on my right lower pocket. I have a messenger bag but I usually just keep my laptop and a couple books in it because I really only use it when I have to go to class.
Yeah, I forgot about that. I was gonna swap that picture out for one I blurred some of the keys out, but it won't let me edit it in the new forums. Grr.
Headphones and gum in left cargo, pen and change in left front, keys clipped to belt loop, memo pad in left back, wallet in right back, 8Gb Drive and knife in right front, and iPhone 3GS in my right cargo. By the way I have had that wallet for 15 years now.
As for posting my keys, breaking into my house and/or my car would be quite easy.
These are the contents of my purse for most of the time, however all the fancy gadgets on the left side sometimes are left at home or my phone is in the pocket of my sweater.

I have no intentions of using this for other than self defense. I wonder if it means that I just need to make sure to not get caught with it in my person. It stays in my purse all the time. I have never been in a situation where I need it and I hope I never do.
That sounds similar to michigan's laws. I'm pretty sure its illegal to carry, but how likely are you of getting caught is the better question. Also, if the attacker is unarmed it could be seen as aggravated assault or unreasonable force so becareful. I bought a kubotan since it seems less illegal.
How did you make the rest of the case? Did you just add the cross-stitching to the back of another case?
Oh that's cool. I figured you might have bought a cheap one and just cut the back out for the cross-stitching.
Well my Kubotan came. I like it though because of the color it does look like some sort of cross between a sonic screwdriver and a sextoy. Oh well, I might need it one day, and the way I have it on my carabiner it would work as a nice long flail as well.
I also added a duct tape fob to my keychain since that stuff always comes in handy.
In my pockets, it's pen, notepad, Phone, Wallet, Leatherman. I might go through my bag later and figure out what's in there, but at the least, swiss army knife, duct tape(black), and 90 pound test braided line, another notepad.

Don't worry, if it's someone that really wants to get into your place and can do a copy of your keys with a picture, they probably know how to pick a lock within 10 seconds.

Right, I should mention... that google password is not my profile, nor do I care if it gets stolen. Also, if you can get anything useful out of those card, feel free to not do horrible things to me.
This thread went full retard. I thought it was bad when people were posting photos of their keys. Now they're posting photos of their credit cards and pocket dildos.

As for my phone case, I cross-stitched it myself.
