Just a folding knife and a camera on my belt.

I used to carry a mora, a fireflash, small torch, DC4, some paracord and a laplander saw. Even for walking the dog for just a few hours. Now I realise all that is absolutely redundant and I only carry all that for longer trips.

Good timing for this thread. End of week pockets are always more interesting than Monday pockets.

I have:
Wallet with not a lot in it
phone
2 30cm lengths of string
Keys for the car I left at home.
Keys for the Landrover.
SAK farmer
Fallkniven U2
Lamy Pico pen
£3.23 in change
Receipt for a gate and assorted gate paraphernalia
3 peanuts (with skin)
Emergency survival fluff

There’s fluff and stuff and ??? in all the pockets – or was before today’s turn-out! I often have some of John’s leather bags hanging on the trouser-belt with odds and sodderies in them. It all rather depends on if I’m going for a walk, visiting a friend, going shopping (arrrggghhh!!!), driving somewhere …
