Being its cold out now, what you'll find in my bag is:

Gore waterproof watchman cap
Gloves
Waterman Exception Platinum rollerball
Samsung Q1 Ultra
Bandages, sanitizer, etc
Laser pointer
Headphones of some variety, currently Klipsch X10s and Sony EX90s
Ipod/Iphone/DAP of some sort
Point and shoot camera... currently a Casio Exilim
LED Flashlight
And if I'm not travelling (read flying), a Swiss Army knife.

Might be more stuff in there, but that's all I can think of right now.

I carry my labtop, an iphone and iphone bluetooth, and a pair of EP730 and a digital pen in my pockets. I left bags for daily use awhile ago.

I have my father-in-laws 1945 Army issue rucksack--stencils and all-- in which I carry:

1--two pens (fountain from the 1940s and 1950s)
2--a 5 x 7 notebook
3--2 books for reading and research (am writing a small book and these books are for research)
4--small cellphone in a small side pocket (just large enough for it)
5--Imod/Hornet or Reference amp and IEMs all in a Headroom bag

That's it. Really, the folks in the 40s didn't lug around a whole lot in these bags. still, an interesting piece of nostalgia and get lots of comments, esp. with the stencilling pertaining to the North African Theatre which is where he was
