Ok so many of carry some sort of bag with our goodies as we head out into the city. Jet and I were having a lovely conversation about it today and it made me wonder...what do you find you need and what could you leave behind?
I have a hydro pack that carries around 2L of water. In that pack I keep: Kleenex Small ziplocks Toilet paper wet wipes notebook pen eye drops bandana (for dust) goggles (for dust) chapstick (x3 cuz i always loose one) copy of my DL and insurance card in case i try to die or something stupid Cliff Bar for those late afternoon or nights Candy (cuz sometimes you need a lollypop) Smokes Ash tin Lighter (attached to bag with a lighter leash) Cup clipped to bag Sunscreen tube clipped to bag. (buy the little Coppertone ones once and refill!) Annie (my lovely Blue counterpart)
After an almost failed attempt to borrow water late at night cuz we didn't have something sharp to pierce the jug with, I think a small leatherman will make it into the bag this year.
2 liters water. 2 small bottles of water. 1 coke(12oz) 6 pack of TECATE or Pabst. More if I can fit it in. Crescent wrench. Channel locks. Leatherman tool. Sun screen. Lotion. Electrical tape. 4 multi color Sharpies. Several BRC Welding and Repair bumper stickers. Note pad or address book. Useless FRS radio clipped to front of left shoulder strap. Stag Camp pin on button near FRS radio. Flashlight. 8 AA batteries. 4 AAA batteries. Camera. 6 granola bars or something like it. Cup. Extra carabiner. Picked up moop. Schwag.
I want to add jerky this year but I usually eat my entire supply on the way to the burn....
Ye Old Surplus Army Bag with Patches, Pins, and Paint can hold...
Off brand 2L camel pack (the whole thing, not just the balder). Trusted empty closed lid thermos like cup thing. Magically depleting carton of smokes. The Notebook (as seen in theaters) Pilot Precise V7 Fine Rolling Ball pen Black Sharpies in fine, ultra fine, and so fat it ate a ball sizes. Crappy digital camera that is held in it's own case. (Because you might take pictures) 250ml can of Red Bull Sometimes a can of Mtn. Dew. SPF 80 sun screen Car ashtray cup with lid. (the kind that fits in your cup holder.
