My kit:
Everything on that list was added because I needed it and didn't have it on multiple occasions. There have been plenty of other things that I would love to carry, but found too bulky to justify.
A note to everyone recommending condoms: they do expire, and can wear through if carried in an environment with friction (wallet, pocket, etc). I prefer to play it safe and make a stop at a drug store should the need arise.
You a fan of cargo shorts?
I actually fit it all in my blue jeans! I have a pocket organizer that holds the small stuff and it all works out spacewise. Heavy though, have to wear a belt to keep everything in place.
You must have very deep pockets!
This feels less like a pocketable list and more solidly in purse territory. Not that there's anything wrong with carrying a purse, but I would struggle to fit all this stuff in even my most pocketed cargo shorts.
I have an awesome pocket organizer thing I was gifted that holds all the small stuff. So I'm really only putting like 5 things in my pockets when I'm getting ready to walk out the door.
