I have two thumb drives I carry on my keychain.

One is a bootable Ubuntu flash drive.

The second is a cheap USB 2.0 512 Gb flash drive. There I have iso's of tails, ubuntu server, windows XP, and a couple other random distros on one partition. On the other I have personal music and miscellaneous files.

Hah! Called it!

Any particular reason for the multiple distros? Seems like an interesting thing to carry around... can't imagine a time where I would decide "Should I install Debian, Arch or Ubuntu on this? Hmm..."
