Nice thread. I've seen threads like this on here as well as EDCF, but it's nice to see updates and see how people's rigs change over time.
Mine's gone through some changes, but it's still big. However, each item's been so useful that it's hard to slim down any further.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Everything on a 2" SS spring gate clip, from Berkeley Point, which is clipped to a Black Diamond load-bearing carabiner. The big carabiner can be used to hold other things together in a pinch. Otherwise, it lets things be the perfect length for the keys and stuff to fit in the back pocket, when the biner is clipped to a back belt-loop. Everything also has its own pico-clip.
General keys:
- 5 keys on a keyring, clipped to main ring
- Stainless steel Ultrafire C1 CR123A Cree light (awesome throw, brightness, runtime - OP, you should definitely get this!)
- Leatherman Squirt
- Slim stainless steel 2GB flash drive, from DX
- Oil lighter (the o-ring keeps the fuel from evaporating, lasts a loooong time)
- Work magnetic key thing
Car keys: (carried separately in pocket)
- Fob and key
- Camper and hitch keys
- 1AAA Kaidomain SSC light (again awesome, and slim so better for my car key rig)
- Swisstech Utilikey (just picked up at Walmart, only had my car keys yesterday and needed to cut something, so bought it; slim and fits on car keychain well)

And that's it. Next week I'll be receiving a Southord keychain pickset, but not sure if I really want to carry it on my keychain (people asking questions), but there have been too many times I've had to use makeshift implements, making it take longer, and also probably scratching up the locks, that it might be worth it.
@Powernoodle: I see a Ford fob and key on yours - do you drive a truck too?
@DatiLED: I used to carry a P-38 on mine, but it kept digging into me when I slapped the keys in my back pocket, so I gave up. I have a spare one though, pm me your address and I'll send it to you.
@Energie: wow that's a neat pen. Did you make it yourself, or where did you get it? I've been looking for a small but sturdy pen for my keychain rig.
@Mikesalt: How do you keep the cheap laser pointer from unscrewing on your keychain? I tried to keep on on mine before (got from $ store) but it would keep unscrewing and I gave up.
