1. key, phone, bank card, coat

2. Phone, tissues and inhaler.

   Keys, wallet and epi-pen are very important, but dependent on what I’m doing.

3. Key, phone and wallet obviously.

   Usually also a small rucksack so that I can store a bottle of water, a jumper and a raincoat/umbrella. Sometimes I put my wallet and keys in there as well so that they don’t dig holes in my jeans pockets.

4. Phone, wallet, keys, power bank+usbc cable, gum/mints

5. Nothing.

   Never thought of it before, but I very rarely take anything with me when leaving the house, except a Jacket if that counts.

6. It depends on what I’m doing and/or where I’m going.

    If I’m out locally with the dogs I’ll have leads and poo bags and if I’m on a big walk in the wilds I’ll have a few extras like a pocket first aid kit, a whistle and a personal alarm.

    Apart from that, I travel quite light.
