Go Bag: Annotated
My submission to Lifehacker's Go Bag. basically, what's in my bag at any given time.
1. One water bottle. (Freebie snagged from LexisNexus at the last conference I attended. This is not always inside the bag as it depends on the weather and how much I need to drink on my commute.)
2. Fingerless arm warmers. (I have awful circulation in my arms so carry these all year round)
3. Glasses and their case
4. A small selection of my personal Moo cards. (Inner zipped pocket)
5. Oyster card (Season ticket zone 1-3. I just tap in and out. Bliss! Cover was merchandise from the last Bloc Party gig I attended and has the track listing for their second album on the back. This lives in the very front pocket for ease of reach.)
6. Zipped plastic pencil case containing various meds (hay fever, painkillers, Strepsils), make up (eyeshadow, perfume, mascara, chap stick), Bach rescue remedy, mints, Lush temple balm.
7. Swiss army knife. (Inner zipped pocket)
8. 4gb iPod Mini and noise canceling headphones. (iPod contains: music + contacts + Podtender. I might have been a student fairly recently... iPod generally lives in one of the side pockets.)
9. Wallet (coins, notes, cards, rail card - for the trips I take out of London - misc business cards, plasters, migraine pills, stamps)
10. Hand cream and powder compact. Current book (not always in there)
11. Pens, mobile phone (old and annoying), clip on light (also conference freebie, probably soon to be replaced by a penlight), 1gb USB stick (inner zipped pocket), tissues (see: hay fever)
12. City Moleskine (London, of course), just finished planner (soon to be replaced by an 18 month Moleskine), Train timetable.
13. Canvas bag for any purchases made during the day. (also snagged at last conference. Lives in second front pocket.)
Not pictured: Small pocket umbrella, set of keys, at least one pencil. Camera (Olympus C-450, slowly dying) + spare rechargeable batteries.
