EDC (Every Day Carry) Emergency Pack
I try to bring this pack absolutely everywhere I go without exception (it sort of defeats the purpose of an EDC pack if you don't). Note that while it has some traditional emergency items like bandages, a whistle, and 550 paracord, it also carries items for the somewhat more common "urban" emergency. So there are quarters for parking meters, dollar bills for bus fare, a 2GB Titanium USB drive just because you never know when you'll suddenly need to grab someone's music files...

And all this fits into... the North Face Granule lumbar pack
I find this North Face pack to be ideal for EDC as it tucks nicely into bigger packs (which is typically how I carry it), but in the event you need to drop everything but the essentials, you can wear it like a normal lumbar pack or even throw it over a shoulder, messenger bag-style.
