I do not understand this but maybe it's because I'm a guy and keep my keys in my front pocket. I keep literally the BARE MINIMUM of things on my key chain. So far as I even have separate keychains for separate vehicles instead of having one key chain for all of them. My SO on the other had has 2lbs of trinkets on her keychain.
Is it possible she's a medieval dungeon master?
Opposite goals. If it's in your pocket it needs to be minimal size. If it's deep in your purse, it needs to be easy to grab.
Makes complete sense. Well said
And if it's on a carabiner on your belt loop, you want a middle ground which is a situation in which large hair ties really shine. Added bonus, you're likely the sort who needs one regularly and likes being able to offer one to people who need one.
Doesn't it make a lot of noise walking around with your keys constantly hanging on your belt? I would also be scared that someone stealing them while on the train or something.
Have you ever walked past a janitor or security person and heard their keys rattling? I don't think I have, and they typically have a lot of keys. Unless they're bumping into something, they should all swing as a single unit. It shouldn't really be an issue.
Not really, unless you have a lot of keys. They just kinda swing together. And pickpockets are rare in my country, so the fact that they're in front of me where my hand naturally rests leaves me feeling secure in them
Seems like the purse is going to have an ever escalating competition for being big enough to grab.
I don't have Seperate Keychains for each vehicle, I have all of my vehicle keys on quick releases, so I can just clip on the vehicle key I want to drive. It's great. I do sacrifice minimalism a bit for some practicality in other ways, but yeah, I try to keep it light.
Sounds like a lot of crap, but it ends up looking like this, which isn't too bad, considering all of the utility it has.
You should get an S carabiner for the flash drives so you don't have to plug your keys into your computer.
That would add some bulk, and I don't really have issues with plugging my keys into a computer. Frankly, I don't use the flashdrives that often, but when I need them, they're lifesavers.
Word. They work for me, figured I'd share.
The Ventoy stick i have is a Lexar 128GB one that has both A and C on it. Highly recommend as thats then one less thing to carry.
I really love the form factor of the sticks I carry, the solid one piece of metal with no moving parts. The dual ones always have a swivel, though that lexar one does look nice.
The USB C adapter just goes on the end of one of the sticks so it doesn't really add another thing to carry.
The Ventoy thing reminds me of my minimalist setup:
I have done geocaching and I've got a Steam Deck, so I may be borrowing the pen and adapter ideas, though I'll probably keep the adapter with the Deck.
I should definitely combine my flashdrives into one... But I haven't gotten around to that I suppose. The form factor of these is awesome, I've been using them for over 10 years, my first one was a USB-2 variant.
I might steal the idea of putting my house key on a lower ring, I currently find it by feeling the teeth as they're newer and sharper than my parent's house key lol.
Where's your chatelaine?
Had to look that up. I'm happy keeping my keys in my pocket.
Oh, but there are so many other cool gadgets you can hook to it! A capsule full of sewing needles, a seam ripper, a small pair of scissors, maybe even a soft measuring tape. You could be a portable tailor!
Sounds like you need a purse for that
What. Did you look at the photo? My keys are probably still smaller than average.
I changed the locks on my house to one with a keypad so I only have to carry a car key.
