What are five things you always carry with you?

I love my Swiss Army knife. It has everything - toothpick, tweezers, scissors, multiple kinds of blades, corkscrew, can opener, screw drivers, etc. It has saved my bacon many a time in the backwoods and even in hotel rooms.

Hey, aren't you in Switzerland now? Can you go to the Swiss Army knife factory? That would be so cool!
Going to the “flagship” store tomorrow. I will be seeing my grandson and DIL this weekend in Sweden and thought a Swiss Army knife might be a good gift for him. He is 15. A young 15.

They also make kitchen knives. From the reviews it seems they make relatively inexpensive knives that perform almost as well as the $100 ones. Considering one for the DIL.
 
When going out now, I usually have with me a backpack. In it is:

Wallet
Small bag with medications
Pens
Plastic shopping bags
Sunglasses
Phone and earbud chargers
Hand sanitizer
Water
Paci - either there or in my pocket, kept for comfort but hardly used in my mouth

I also have, of course, my phone and earbuds. And for all the nobodies who are wondering - yes, I am always wearing clothes.
 
Keys, knife, fountain pens, mechanical pencil, notebook, pipe, tobacco, lighter, phone, wallet, breath mints, charging cord, earbuds, USB drive, meds. I realise that is more than the specified 5, but those items are *always* with me, except swimming/hot tub/steam room/etc.
