Interesting topic! I've always had pockets filled with interesting and useful things for as long as I can remember, but these are the core items that have accompanied me everywhere since before my teens:
Pockets:
- keys
- penknife
- mini phase tester
- wallet
- phone

And in my coat pockets:
- thinsulate hat
- camera

OldGoat

Book
Wallet (containing train tickets, bank cards, organ doner card and emergency €20.00 and a few business cards collected recently)
Phone (Cheap one that stands up to constanting dropping)
Swiss Army Knife. (As Khannie says - essential)
One single latch key - ringed to the knife.
And for some strange reason a cocktail stirrer (G&T swizzel stick) has ended up in the breast pocket of my jacket.

Otis Driftwood

Wallet containing random numbers/membership cards/not enough money.
Ipod
Mobile
Chewing gum (dont leave home without it)

But wallet contains Swiss Card (flattened style Swiss Army knife) for all those handy SAS type emergencies that might pop up. On my second now as I forgot to remove the first years ago when going through airport security and had to sacrifice it

Wallet - about €180 plus cards (including multi-organ donar card).

Bag - junk!.. Off the top of my head - Heart Rate Monitor & strap, trainers, socks & jocks (fresh & unfresh ), Tiger Balm & tape (for my fingers - to complicated to explain). Flip flops, shower gel, deodorant, aftershave & moisturiser.....

The list goes on!...

Swimming shorts, lifting straps, two t-shirts, iPod, inhaler ... I'm in a restricted area so can't take a photo to show how packed full of junk this bag has (and I've another one at home!).

When I get home I'll exchange this one for my Judo bag and its out training again!.

Oh, in both bags I carry a pretty decent medical kit.

No Swiss army knife for me - I prefer my Leatherman :P

Any self resecting gentleman has a satchel on his person at any given time.

Training gear is just too bulky. Sometimes I literally have to beat stuff into my bag and it's a fairly big bag. On a bad day I'll have the following in it:

shin pads (big ones, not like for football) edit: like these.
shorts x 2
t-shirt x 2
towel
cup (for my gentlemen, not for drinking )
gumshield
goggles (they're always in there, forgot to add them in my first post)
protein shaker
Food (this can be quite a bit)
Water bottle
16oz gloves for sparring
10oz gloves for pad work
hand wraps
clean underwear
clean socks

The gloves and shin pads take up a shockin' amount of space. Some of the other stuff (e.g. hand wraps) I can shove inside the gloves.

I actually find it weird leaving the house without a bag now.

Yeah i understand if your training you obviously need a bag then i even do or i understand students but i'm talking about everyday, like i read some of the things here and in all honestly would you really use those things EVERYDAY, Its a bit of hassle and uncomfortable lugging things around that you might/might not ever use. You'd swear some of these people were going on a camping trip for the few hours they're out of the house!

But thats just my opinion i like to have the least possible items on me only the necessities, i suppose some people like to be prepared!

I know what you're saying, I carry SFA on me at all times - if I was going training it'd be a different story.
I also get where Khannie is coming from as I'm also working full time and training ~5 times a week, it feels like I only ever get away from work / home to go training, then straight to sleep.
I can imagine it's a lot worse when you have kids too...

Ahhh how the hell do you fit a bottle of water in your pockets with any comfort?

As for man bags mine is a simple MSDN messenger type bag. Use it for work mostly to carry the extra bits needed.
