Walkers, I have a question? Where do you keep your ID, keys and cell phone in?

Kaimi2008 · 07-04-2009, 11:51 PM

Right now, I'm carrying a small purse but I'd like too keep my hands "free" for my water bottle only.

TIA,

In my kids stroller....oh wait that probably doesn't help does it? LOL!!

Ok if I didn't have a stroller I'd attach my cell phone to my belt (they make holders that clip on easily - my dh has one), put my ID in my back pocket and a key in my front pocket. If your workout gear doesn't have pockets maybe you could get something you wear around your neck for your key and an ID tag you know like latchkey kids carry. Claires has some cute ones.

I see lots of walkers using a butt pack, fanny pack, waist pouch or whatever you call them. I just stick stuff in my pockets.

Kaimi2008 · 07-05-2009, 09:28 PM

My keys are BULKY because I live in Euorope and we have dungeon keys, per say so they will NOT fit in my pocket. Too hot to take a 5 year old out in the stroller. Personally, I won't wear a "fanny" pack.

Thanks for the suggestions ~ I'll do a search online!

Might consider a fuel belt. They carry a good bit of water plus you can order accessories (like bigger pockets).

Or a small backpack, like a camelback.

When I am on the bike or running I take my car key only off the ring and slide it under my compression shorts, phone goes in belt carrier. The rest stays in the car.

Kaimi2008 · 07-07-2009, 10:53 AM

Thank you all,

I ended up buying a vera bradley mini hipster and it's perfect. It arrived today.

ab1ht · 07-07-2009, 10:59 AM

Had to look that one up...

Not what I would go with, but very fashionable

I'd love to see the shorts that match that one

Hah, I was going to say the same thing.

well, you wear black you can't go wrong.

sorry, guys it's not for you but a lot of guys here in Europe carry one (solid colors, of course).

I leave phone and ID in my car or at home, take with me only the keys and I put them in a wrist bag.

I wish that I could leave the phone in the car but need it because my little one is in school and need it for an emergency. Plus, dh sends me about 10 text messages in as little as 1 hour and 30 minute of walking that I do.

maria40nc · 07-08-2009, 04:29 AM

I bought a Road ID wrist band for identification, bought a clip for my phone, and I usually just hide my key somewhere in the bushes of my front yard, or in the gas cap of my car! I usually carry pepperguard with me too, since I go out by myself at 4:30 a.m.

If I want water, I wear one that straps around your waist.

That CAN'T be safe where you live.

Likely true. Hence why I walk around with pepperguard in my pocket!

Maybe I need one of those fake looking rocks with the hide-a-key compartment?

You know how inconspicuous THOSE are.

Well, at least it isn't under the doormat!

I have one of those with spare house keys hidden in my yard.

Problem is, they look like rocks. Duh. I went to put a new key in it once and couldn't find it! :blush:

The wife eventually found it buried under leaves and such. The trick is not to put it somewhere where it will naturally get covered.

I did the same thing when I was living there and still do.

I even came to Europe w/ mine.

Yes, it was in my swingpack and it went through the x-ray machines at the airport. :blush: I didn't know it until we landed and was back at the hotel.

I remember those fake looking rocks. or what about those magnetic boxes that go under your car.
