[![](/images/cameraroll-1325884836.029560-225x300.jpg)](http://blogs.confusticate.com/jeremy/files/2012/01/cameraroll-1325884836.029560.jpeg)I've seen a number of people post pictures and descriptions of what they carry with them every day. Shawn Blanc just linked to a [picture](http://www.flickr.com/photos/shawnblanc/888340376/in/datetaken/) of what he was carrying from 2007 and it inspired me to do the same.

A few years back I decided I wanted to go extremely minimalist with what I had on my person at all times.  Not a whole lot of describing to do of the items.

*   [Apple iPhone 4](http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone/iphone4) (AT&T) - This is probably the device that makes it possible to carry so little physically since I am carrying access to so much virtually. I rarely actually use it as a phone.  You can't see the skin on the back, but it is [I like Birds](http://www.gelaskins.com/gallery/ExplodingDog/I_Like_Birds) by ExplodingDog.
*   [Slimmy Wallet](http://www.koyono.com/Slimmy-Slim-Wallet-Alternative-p/m17546.htm) by Koyono - This is a great, super thin wallet.  It has enough room for maybe 3 credit cards, a bit of cash and the random miscellaneous cards one needs (license, insurance, ACLU membership card, etc.). I upgraded to get the exciting red interior which you apparently can't get anymore.
*   Keys and car fob - At the moment I have 4 keys on my keychain.  I could almost certainly get it down to 3 and possibly 2 if I really needed to. I may do that.
So, there it is.  Super minimalist.  And I can't think of anything else I would require to have on a daily basis.
