For most of us, our everyday carry items are usually limited to a wallet, smartphone, and set of keys, but that’s not to say we couldn’t benefit from toting around a few more choice items. After all, how often do you find yourself asking for commonplace tools, like a pen, lighter, or bottle opener? The reality is that pocket space is limited, and unless you’re routinely sporting cargo pants (which there’s nothing wrong with), you have to be smart about what items you choose to carry.
