EMT pants help

I just recently purchased a pair of EMT pants and I want to know what to put in my pockets or what you put in your pockets.

Car keys, money and lint.

We can wear EMT pants, but most of us just wear BDU pants since they are so much cheaper and more comfortable than our uniform pants. I don't think I've seen anyone actually put anything in the cargo pockets unless it's just temporary (like a scope or BP cuff).

I keep personal stuff (wallet, chapstick, etc) in the front pockets and some extra gloves in my back hip pocket.

Same. Sometimes my sunglasses.

Our EMS pants have three pockets each leg - regular "slash", inner cargo with a zipper, outer cargo with a simple velcro flap.

Left slash - keys
Left velcro - trauma shears
Left zipper - sometimes EMT field guide (drug ID, etc.)
Right slash - Folding knife with pocket clip, maybe a flashlight
Right velcro - at least 1, usually 2 pair nitrile gloves
Right zipper - money, change, spare pens, a leatherman "micra" type knife

Left rear - pack of gum
Right rear - wallet

Main reasons I carry what I do where I do - the velcro flaps I can have someone else reach in for me if I'm too bloody/involved to do it myself, and they're not too "personal" for someone to go for it on scene. I've gotten one or two funny looks, but never had a problem. The stuff in the zipper pockets stays there until I really want it to come out, and is not stuff I'd need urgently.
