I use both a possibles pouches and / or man bag. My possibles pouch is all the stuff I don't want to be without. Its stuff I use regularly, above and beyond my pocket contents. My possibles pouch stays complete and goes on my belt whenever I'm out and about. It has all those "need" things that you actually need and use on a regular basis. So whats my "man bag"? Just a battered old game bag I use for walks and stuff. Handier than a day sack but enough for a day walk.
My "always on me" consists of four things
Wallet
Keys
Penknife
Lighter
The lighter is the same old cheap turbo flame rip off I have had since my smoking days. Never let me down and despite the fact it cost a couple of quid I trust it so it stays.
My EDC pocket knife is a twin bladed Trevor Ablett - a real old basic sheffield carbon steel knife. Holds a lovely edge and is a sub 3" slippy so its legal everywhere but excluded places
In my wallet? A 1 litre Ziplock containing a strip of puritabs, roll of dental floss and an SD card with document copies (I go abroad a lot working and I'm paranoid about losing my passport etc.). A cash (pounds and euros) plus all the normal cards etc.
My Key ring
It has a paracord key fob
Fauxton LED torch
Whistle
Mini Silva compass
Leatherman Micra
Silver Gripper tweezers
4mm ferro rod
My possibles pouches (I have an old and a new) have a couple of things in common
Long belt loops (so they hang below a Bergan hip belt if I'm wearing one), one handed opening - one has a toggle, one a locking leather strap - both work. I got the new one because the old one is well worn and I wanted a reserve
Here's the old
And the new
Heres the contents
The contents are roughly
Small silva sighting compass
Monocular (used for spotting game and birds but also good for spying out terrain etc.)
LED torch (Fenix AA)
Ferro Rod
Helios lighter
Whistle
Cotton Wool & Vas
Mini FAK (blisters, antihistamines, pain killers, cuts kit etc.)
SAK with saw etc.
Sewing kit
UV Lip salve (does for sun cream too)
Wetfire
Puritabs
Zip Locks
Breast milk bags
My big bag I can dump out later and explain if anyone is interested
