    Default Guys, what is in your DAILY use bag (man purse or satchel or whatever you call it)

    Guys, what is in your DAILY use bag (man purse or satchel or whatever you call it) I carry a Maxpedition Fatboy or sometimes a Jumbo Versipak everyday to and from work loaded with my stuff. I'm just curious what you carry in yours, and I'm always open to adding new items. Go ahead...dump it out. It is probably time to go through it again and purge.

    Mine contains:
    Prescription sunglasses and computer glasses.
    Rayovac 3W LED AA flashlight
    glass cleaner spray
    Gerber knife
    Digital camera
    Cell phone
    Ipod touch
    Rite in the rain all weather paper pad
    REI daypack first aid kit
    Yaesu VX-3 mini dual band tranceiver
    REI Travel toothbrush (with toothpaste in handle)
    Kleenex
    floss
    Wallet
    Sometimes a BPA free Nalgene water bottle (filled)
    USB mem card reader
    USB mem stick
    $100 emergency cash
    change
    Ear buds
    Pens, markers

    My every day possibilities bag is a fanny pack with a knife, compass, rope, watch, lighter, smokes, and I usually carry a litre of water.

    Sometimes I'll carry a map and gps, but usually that's it. I'm not in an area where there's any real fear of becoming lost or getting too far from civilization.

    When I am I'll add a basic first aid kit and that's about it. If I'm out for more than aday I'll carry more too.

    I used to carry a Leather-man Multi tool in a pouch, a Mini Mag flashlight, my cell, pager, key clip all on my belt, during working hours.

    Need suspenders to hold up my pants, so I cut down and added the small multi tool, and Mini bic in an old SAK pouch.
    Does all the jobs the big stuff did, just not as long.

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave in a well preserved body,but rather to skid in sideways,bruised,battered,and totally worn out,shouting "Holy crap.....what a ride!"

    Yaseau vx-6 hand held ham radio
    Uniden 40 channel hand held CB
    Uniden 200 channel 900mz. handheld scanner
    Gerber "skeleton" para frame folder

    If by what I have learned over the years, allow me to help one person to start to prepare. If all the mistakes I have made, let me give one person the wisdom that allows them to save their life or the life of a loved one in an emergency. Then I will truly know that all the work I have done will have been worth every minute.

    that looks nice, not too keen on the price - $65
    i already have enough used camera gadget bags from yard sales, etc


    right now i'm just wearing a small Lowepro camera bag on my side
    .
    Knowledge without experience is just information


    there are two types of wild food enthusiasts,
    one picks for enjoyment of adding something to a meal,
    and the second is the person who lives mostly on ( wild ) edibles
