Inspired by Pete Savage’s post, here’s the content of my usual “hack bag” (and I do carry it everywhere):
- Swiss Army Knife
- iRiver H320 (it can do everything: play music, radio, video, minesweeper, record sound, double as a portable HD. I’m sure that if I ask it nicely, it’ll also make coffee)
- Sure headphones
- USB cable, with nine (9) adapters
- Gparted Live CD (actually a mini-cd)
- 1GB USB pen (with some PortableApps)
- Moleskine notebook
- Pens (the writing kind)
- 80GB portable HD (it’s a very recent addition, I’m still considering if it’s worth it’s weight)
- Sony Ericsson P990i (it does everything a mobile should do and more, like… tea!) (No, not really…)
- Lomo LC-A and flash (but I seldom use it…)
- Lens cleaning cloth
- Chewing gum
- Toilet seat covers (funny story this one: I “stole” it from a soviet era hotel room in Łódz, Poland, which says a lot about the hotel if the room itself had them. Yeah, you never know when you might need it.)
- Alcohol based hand washer liquid (you know, those Rituals things)
- Chapstick
- Matches and a lighter
I’ll put up a photo… eventually…
(Update) And here’s the photo:
If you click on it, you’ll be taken to it’s Flickr page, where you can see the description of each object. Yes, I know that there are things I mentioned on the list missing from the photo.
I tend to call this a “man-sack”…
Or murse (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=murse, #3). Or pochete. I’m in denial.
Do you really need all that ???? Yes, I know, you really know it there will be a occasion in a future when you will need something of that. We never know what will happen tomorrow.
