It's expensive as hell, but you won't look like a douche carrying it, and it'll last the rest of your life. Pants with pockets really are better though. Here's my typical load out for a weekend out, no bag carried...

3 knives
keychain sized folding pliers
keys
3 tins of snus, and another snus tin with my IceTool in it
4 tins of snuff
cell phone
wallet
coins
Woah dude you are seriously gay. That is a purse.
No it isn't. It's a rock solid bag that gets better looking as it ages and gets dirty. Purses don't use oil cloth and bridle leather ;^)
purse

Jack Bauer would disagree with you. And then you would be no more.

check out the Maxpedition Jumbo Versipack. i use it on my commute to manhattan often enough or for a weekend out and about in the apple.

i find it a great man-bag when you want to carry a small load out. it looks tough, and is supertough, but can also work in an urban environment and still look stylish. i usually use this when i want to have my kindle, flashlight, leatherman, a charger, small camera, extra battery, water bottle, zune, and a few other things.

when i need to carry more i use my tom bihn super ego.

i find a sling bag to be very convenient for easy access to things vs a backpack.

when i want a backpack i use a think tank shapeshifter that also doubles as a great camera bag when expanded. when compressed, it is a great man-bag with a super slim profile great for subways and crowded urban environments.

I'm not mocking you, I'm just surprised that there are pants/shorts which don't have pockets (except for like hard-core athletic gear). I'd try and get these shorts you like with pockets.

Designer ones do.
