At an event, I have a fringed leather pouch into which I put the modern crap (inclduing cash and ID), tucked into my belt.
In my pockets, (pants, vest and coat) or "on and about me" I have
- mechanical pocket watch
- barlow folding pocketknife
- piece of Ree Twist tobacco
small "pocket pouch" holding
- piece of Osha Root
- hank of braided sweetgrass
- cedar
- prarie sage
- paper box of strike-anywhere matches masquerading as Lucifers
- period 4-5 inch boot knife & sheath
- spectacles
- leather folding notpad and wooden pencil (sanded to defarb)
- a small number of cheap original pre 1890 coins ( mostly foreign )
- medicine bag around my neck
- leather card case with "Professor Marvel's" calling cards, somewhat correct to at least 1870's
- hank of cotton cord
- "special" stones
- hideout turnbarrel percussion derringer
I may at any time have one or more pouches of special specific "stuff" depending upon the event: a strike-light; my beaded plains tobacco pouch; my pipe bag; my moosehide embroidered pouch; rocky mountain style possibles bag; or my bear-paw medicine shoulder bag.
belt knives, belt hawk, pistols, capbox, paper cartridges ( or brass cartridges) etc are on the seperate gunbelt or in a shoulder bag, along with other necessities such as my tin cup, spoon, housewife (sewing kit), medicinal kit (mostly herbs), hank of sisal rope, candles, sacred objects & other important stuff. Rifle and/or shotgun are carried in hand or in a guncase.
