- Every Day Carry – the things that are always with me.
the first (and perhaps only) change will be to upgrade to some load-bearing carabiners.
clockwise from top left:
- Victorinox Swiss Army Cybertool 34
Smaller than a traditional multitool, with all the traditional bells & whistles of a Swiss Army Knife. Screwdriver w/ 8 bits, everything from standard slot-head & philips to Torx; mini-pliers, a straight pin, a pen, etc. i use this more often than any other tool i own. and it’s apparently the only knife i own that i’m legally allowed to carry in the City.
- Used Rubber wallet
made from discarded industrial-strength inner tubes. after 15 years of daily use it still looks brand new.
- Keys, Flash Drives
(4GB SanDisk Cruzer Micro = bootable Ubuntu Linux, 8GB LaCie ItsaKey = IT Toolkit)
- Panasonic Lumix TS1
waterproof, shockproof, wide angle, HD video, perfect for all occasions.
- Moleskine Volant notebook
smaller than the standard Moleskine, with perforated pages. great for taking notes or distributing ad hoc business cards.
- CountyComm Embassy Pen
a solid tube of aluminum, hollowed out to fit a Fisher Space Pen cartridge. knurling on the body and grip of the pen, screwtop with a springy yet sturdy clip. best.pen.ever. until i buy the stainless steel version 
- Casio G-Shock Cockpit Series
best timepiece i’ve ever owned. analog and digital, dual timezones, 4 alarms, stopwatch, timer. waterproof and shockproof. ion-plated stainless steel. or so they say.
- 4Sevens Quark AA² Tactical flashlight, R5 Edition
runs on AA batteries, waterproof, anodized aluminum, goes from .2(!) lumens to 205(!!!) lumens with a quarter-twist of the head. programmable, with 5 other output modes to choose from. perfect for anything.
- Blackberry 9650
an upgrade from my last BB (8330), and an improvement in all areas. more RAM, optical trackpad, WiFi, better camera, OS6 compatible. if they ever release it. plus it’s one of the only Sprint phones that can work w/ GSM, so if & when i travel abroad i can unlock the phone & pop in a SIM card.
- 1900 Morgan Dollar
i’ve always carried a coin. first it was a steel penny, then a silver quarter, then a silver half-dollar, and now i’ve got this.

Why a Morgan Dollar, is it your lucky charm?
love it, says a lot ……….all good
but no i don’t carry any lucky charms.
Nice!
I dig the keyCHAIN
I love these shot, cool and educational too. I’m curious about the wallet. Did you make that and if so how??
Thanks FIVE50,
and The Cameras Voice, i bought the wallet – just checked and the company’s still in business: http://www.usedrubberusa.com – mine is the Standard Wallet but they’ve got a huge range of stuff and i highly recommend it.
Magnífica composición.

Thanks for the link, gonna have to put this on my list.
Is your day job in advertising/marketing? If not you should consider it– I want to buy Everything in this picture!!! (That’s before I even got to reading the brilliant captions).
Gracias Luis,
and aww yammay that’s cool thanks. i’ve considered it in the past but no idea how to get into a racket like that. i’m doing ok w/ the generic ‘IT consultant’ title though.. and yes this is all my favorite stuff, it’s taken years to get to this point but i’m very happy with each item, and luckily it all (just) fits into my pockets. except for the watch.
how long have you been james bond, and is there a martini shaker feature on the swiss tool? also, did that skymall mag that is on flights get you to do this? also, i now want to move to new york just based on this pic.
would love some more details on where you got that pen.
ag4251 go to countycomm.com. I’m sure you’ll end up with more than the pen.
Please let me question on one.
What is the model of the camera that takes this photograph?
That’s a lot to carry around! You have to be well-trained!
What IT Toolkit are you carrying on your LaCie ItsAKey?? I have been looking for a comprehensive one and even had thoughts of building my own toolkit.
kenpil, this photograph was taken with a Nikon D5000.
farbspiel, the whole thing weighs over 3lbs.. it took years of practice and a few lost pens, but yeah i’m pretty disciplined at this point. you should see what it becomes when i include everything in my messenger bag and scottevest.
[note to self: take picture(s) of everything in messenger bag and scottevest]
and michaelramm, it’s a bunch of stuff:
- Petter Nordahl-Hagen’s NT Password Editor (a lifesaver) at the root, i can log into any locked-out PC from WinNT to 64-bit Win7 (including Server OSes) in less than 5 minutes.
- LiberKey, a utility suite i found via Lifehacker w/ hundreds of apps, most of which i never use, but many of which i wouldn’t want to be without.
- various ISOs of WinXP+SP3, Office 2003, etc. for those times when ‘insert your original disk’ pops up and the user can’t find it.
- AVG full installer (best virus prevention imho)
- SuperAntiSpyware (best last-ditch virus removal imho)
- SUPER (awesome video format converter)
- other random utils and/or personal files
and if all else fails, i’ve got Ubuntu on the other drive..
and if even THAT fails, there’s always the Cybertool
