    I sleep with my wallet in my pocket. I’ve never lost my wallet, and short of a mugging, I most likely never will. The only time I leave my wallet out of my pocket is when I shower and change clothes.

    Not only does it contain my ID, it also contains my barebones emergency survival kit. A credit card sized folding pocket knife, credit card sized Freznel lens that can start fires, and an emergency prescription eyeglass lens mounted in a keyring in case I ever lose my glasses.

    Those things won’t break or lose charge either.

      The keyring glasses lens is a great idea.

        Well thank you kindly for that 👍

        Yeah, it came from an old dated pair of prescription glasses, still plenty close enough for emergency use. So, I took a lens from my old glasses and ground the edges down on a bench grinder to clip into a keyring that’s probably just over the size of a quarter.

        To see the indent of it in my wallet, you’d think it was a condom LOL! But nope, my vision is more important to me than anything else, I can’t even function in this world without my glasses.

        Thankfully I’ve never needed it since I made it, but I’ll be damned if I’m ever gonna lose it!
