[Southern Breeze]

Wallet,keys and change. Sometimes my cell phone and/or camera. I use a fannypack at work, there's more to keep up with.

A bit of a cold now an I could not find them up my way. The store had them last year.

My sporran- notebook, pen, pencil, index cards, knife, 4 AA batteries, some keys, cell phone, super glue, sunglasses, kerchief, matches, zippo, led headlamp, safety pins, $40.00, digital camera, and a little duct tape.

I amazed at all the stuff that some sporrans can carry around.

Seeing several posts with "a handkercheif" I get this flash of the Hitchhiker Guide "need to carry a towel" at all times

Doesn't everyone have a towel? and, if I'm not mistaken, an tank would act a towel very very well!

MSR and McNett corp. both market a line of backpackes towels which could be cut to size for this purpose.

From the internet:
For example, the towel can be used as an extra layer of clothing for cold conditions; or can be worn on its own around the waist (similarly to a kilt) A towel can act as a make-shift garment or blanket. There are is a variety uses when a or just under the shoulders (similarly to a long dress), usually in a warm environment
"The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels. A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value—you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you—daft as a brush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough. More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag [non-hitch hiker] discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally have 'lost'. What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with." (The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Chapter Three)
"I believe a Kilt could be used for most of these purposes"

Wallet, keys, cell-phone, pocket knife . . . handkerchief gets tucked into the waistband of the kilt, right side. Easier to get it out than the sporran. Anyone else do that?
