Key carry?
« on: March 08, 2010, 04:36:10 pm »
How do you guys carry your keys?

I normally just have a Nano light and two keys, however I'm trying out carrying more junk on there. I'm thinking of using a paracord suspension system.

I have a couple different keyrings, so it depends on where I am.

For days when I'm at university (most of them), I keep my suite and room keys in my front right pocket on a single ring, loose in my pocket, while I always have my house/studio/etc keys, plus Fenix E01, Victorinox Rambler, and Uncle Bill's Sliver Grippers on a second keyring dangling in my right rear pocket on a Victorinox Belt Keeper.

As for my car key/car remote keychain, and other much-less-used keys keychain, they're held in my backpack, which I almost always have on me; it helps reduce what all I carry on me, but also doesn't keep me from being able to reach my car if I can't get to my room.  :tu:

What do you mean by a paracord suspension system?    ???

If you mean hanging it off the belt then I do something similar.

I think JohnD means the one fourth in this picture  ;) you can loop it over a belt and attach tool to the clip  ;)

I'm not sure how much you want to put on but I use the true utility keyring system works really well. It comes with 4 clever clips that allow for quick release of multitool's extra and will hold 5 keys flat on the attachment.
I bought two and put the attachment on the same split ring so I could split my house and work keys! For only a fiver its definately worth it, I can then put different tools on there and take them off quickly depending on where I'm going and also unclip my car key for a night out.

Does anyone else use it?  :)

My keys are on a fine chain about 3" long so I get at them easily. That is attached to a split ring with a few other bits of crap extremely useful kit. I usually also have a small MT and AAA torch cliped on with small McGizmo clips. The prerequisite pill fob is also there with money and drugs in it  :D

About a year ago I used to carry a few things on my keys but I found I tilted 45 degrees whenever I carried them,also it used to set of metal detectors some 1000 yrds away  :ahhh it was a learning curve for me,minimalist for me now  :D

Before


After,I'm walking more upright now  ;)
