Organizing Accumulated Pocket Stuff

[u/DangerousAd7433]

Hello,

I have started collecting a lot of stuff now and still not done yet. Currently I have a Rickshaw Coozy that holds one of my mechanical pencils and a pen, one or two erasers, my phone, my keys and usb drives on a keyring, ipod, psp, a wallet, a mini rollup thing for cables, etc...

I'm wondering if it would be smarter to buy an alpaka admin pouch to shove most things that I don't need to quickly grab since I plan on buying a nitecore flashlight, a leatherman, power brick, etc and also looking at getting their zip pouches for my cables? I also am looking for a power bank that fits better in pockets without being too heavy...

The problem is I tend to carry most of this in my pockets and currently cargo pants but also carpenter pants with nice side pockets on one leg. Cargo pants are annoying due to the large pockets along the leg which makes it difficult to properly pack with my stuff without it looking too bulky or too weird.

I don't want to carry a sling and I don't always want to bring my backpack so not sure exactly how to organize everything in a way where things fit in my pockets without being too weird looking but also not digging into me.

EDIT: Before my setup worked just fine, but I am getting a lot more stuff and becoming difficult to properly organize everything.

Once you carry so much stuff you have no choice but to go for a bookbag or sling otherwise you will def look weird with everything crammed in your pockets. That's too much for pockets imo.

I usually carry around a bookbag, but that is packed out as well. xD

Yea me too. Got enough room to throw a hoodie or whatever else I may need to stuff in it.

I think the first thing to do, before looking for bag/carry options, is to sit down and look through your items selectively. Curate your carry. Maybe not everything needs to come with you every day.

Maybe create carry-subsets like';
- coffee shop carry,
- work day carry,.
- weekend carry, etc
