This is my current setup, all contained within the crossbody bag on the left. I've had more or less the same stuff, in the same bag, for about three years before, but the zipper on the bag was breaking, so I replaced it. I decided that would be a good time to rethink what I'm carrying.

Currently, that is (clockwise from top left):

  • wallet
  • some spare cash, just in case
  • a microfiber cloth
  • lockpicks and a small box of lock pins (I have a practice lock that I often carry around in case I get bored)
  • bandaids
  • the bag is a Pacsafe GO Crossbody
  • glasses cleaning swabs
  • USB sticks (two with data, one with Ventoy and Linux ISOs)
  • USB C-to-C cable to charge my phone
  • a mechanical pencil
  • keys, on a chain

Now, I'm looking for suggestions as to what else to put in the bag. Its gotta be thin and flat if possible.

My ideas so far are an appropriately sized notebook and a thin pocketknife.

What do you think? Have you got any ideas/suggestions?

It'll be hard finding a folder without a lock on it that is super sharp for the Mora price tag.

most of my "folder without a lock on it that is super sharp" knives that are accessibly priced (or were accessible when i bought them years ago (with the exception of the moing on right top))
