What's in Your Sporran?

[Frank McGrath]

Oatmeal. Good for keeping the cholesterol low.

*******

[acstoon]

wallet, keys, gum.
Nothing exciting, but, then, excitement in that region, at the wrong time, could get me in trouble...

[Kilt TN]

Drivers Licenses, credit card, cash, cig lighter, cigarettes, eye glasses, extra house key and an extra car key

I know you didn't ask me, but here's an interesting fact. The cord on my iPod Nano is long enough to reach my ears from my sporran, but if I keep the Nano in the sporran it generates static electricity from rubbing against the leather, and I get little shocks in my ears! I don't know if getting a case for the Nano would stop that; as it is I just have it loose.

Thanks, that's good to know.

On a normal day, my sporran contains wallet, keys, cell phone, and possibly some mints and eye drops. If I'm gonna be out and about without the wife, I swap the wallet for a small leather organiser thingy, and add a zippo, pipe tool, a 1/4 bent Dublin, and a pouch or tin of whatever I'm in the mood for. Lately that's been Mac Baren's Plumcake or Whiskey Cavendish, purchased in bulk from my local tobacconist.

I highly recommend the little change purse from CavScout, too, since it slides in and out more easily than the suede pouch I use.

I completely concur. I have one in ostrich from him and it really helps to have that texture to latch onto when you are carrying several thin items, such as a card case, wallet, etc.

This is a pic of Turpin at Stone Mtn last weekend. He can carry in his that large (I mean EXLARGE or GRANDE) Flask with his own glass. He was not going to run out, that's for sure!!! And the Glass added some CLASS...

John

That was my VENTE flask and Glencairn (P1M) nosing glass. Don't leave home w/o it. I had my wallet and coin dealie in there too.

EDIT: I was wearing a second sporran to carry my two flasks and glass. The badger only had my keys, wallet, sunglasses, coin dealie and camera. Sorry for the initial inaccuracy.

Is the cord on your earphones long enough so you can listen to your ipod while wearing the sporran?

Indeed it is.

Really?? Wow, that is wild! I haven't experienced that. I have however always had a silicone type case on every iPod I've worn in the sporran (Nano, Classic, and now the Touch...) Not sure if that's what's preventing me from the same experience?

That's good to know. I recently got my first iPod (I'm "somewhere between forty and death" and got the iPod to listen to lectures and recorded books - yeah, I'm an old fogie) and hadn't thought about carrying it in my sporran.

[sorcererdale]

What is the item with the cords and balls? That is something I don't think I have seen nor do I know what it is or is used for.

DALE.

Let's see, Ciggs, zippo, notebook, wallet, $$, tripod, tape, breath strips, pen, small knife (replacement for one stolen at the airport!), cell phone, camera, larger lock blade, earplugs, keys - coins still in top flap.

That's about it..... everything fits with room to spare for extra stuff.
