Do you always have a pick in your pocket ?

I've got three in my pocket as I type. Since I started playing guitar 50+ years ago, I believe I've had at least 2-3-5 picks on me at all times.

Crazy....even when potting slacks on for a wedding or funeral, I've ALWAYS had at least 2 picks in my pocket.

You never know when a bands guitar player phones in sick and they announce for anyone who can play guitar.

While it's only happened to me 4-5 times in those 50+ years, best to be prepared!!

All over the place. There’s one in my wallet. I don’t always use picks but I hate looking for one when I want one. I leave them scattered around. In my cases too. Gig I’d keep a couple in my pocket. Used to do the tape on mic stand but now I don’t use them enough to mess with that.

I keep a holder in my bag/briefcase, and a couple picks in my wallet. It's frustrating when you find yourself in a shop or some other place with a guitar you want to try but don't have a pick, and cool looking guitars have a way of turning up when you least expect it.

Yep. My poor wife used to complain about finding them in the washing machine. After 30 years she finally gave up. Now she just drops them in the ashtray I use for pick storage.

No. I always have 4.

2 Fender medium in the little pocket they put in jeans, and 2 more (another medium and a fat pick for bass) in a little pouch on my key ring.

I’ve tried keeping them in my wallet but they always escape somehow.

Ye and everywhere else. I get nice clean ones, when my wife does laundry.

Always some in my wallet. Even wallets I use occasionally have picks in them.
I recently came across a small leather pouch perfect for 3 or 4 picks.
Every gig bag - picks. Amp bags - picks. 3 bags with Allen keys & picks.
I make my own from credit cards & ice cream lids.

For many years, always.

Can't leave home without a handful of picks in my front right pocket, and an old German Pfennig, for good luck.
