Usually I bring a backpack with all the essentials. You never know what you will need. Such as a poncho, or a light jacket. Some sunscreen, bug repellant, sunglasses, camera, extra sticks, water bottles, a hat, small pillow, aspirin, first-aid kit, flashlight, radio/cd player, visine, wet naps, regular napkins, mouth wash, toothbrush, portable dvd, my copy of "Empire", doritos, some bread, hard salami, those little packets of mayo, my lime green Dis t-shirt, an extra pair of flip-flops, a George Foreman fat free cooker, a copy of Narcissus and Goldmun, my autographed pic of Harrison Ford, a hammock, a couple of mini folding chairs, and a battery powered fan. It's a big backpack! I also use a fanny pack in which I carry my wallet, with cash and credit inside. But I also carry change, coin rollers, and a small piggy bank (in case of emergencies). I also like to always keep a few Canadian coins on me, you never know when your can pass them off to some unsuspecting vendor. And last, but not least, my ever handy slug on a string!
