“Would love to see your current bag that you keep on you at all times,” my friend, Jaymi, said on Twitter yesterday. Twist my arm, why don’t you? I love seeing the things people carry. It’s always a surprising insight into who they and what they hold important.
Here’s what I bring with me.
1. My Mountainsmith bag. My husband did some work for Mountainsmith many years ago and they provided us with piles of gear. It was a brilliant marketing move on their part, because I’ve bought more since. It’s good stuff. This particular bag was part of the initial haul. It’s at least six years old and still looks practically new. Everything else you see fits inside here.
2. An Eagle Creek zipper bag with my iPad and my GorillaMobile Yogi (those bendy legs, which are just about the most brilliant invention ever).
3. Eagle Creek cinch sack containing geocaching necessities. I use my phone as a GPS, but this bag contains a pencil and some small toys to exchange for goodies when we find a cache.
4. Yet another Eagle Creek bag with various cosmetic necessities—lip gloss, a stain stick (anyone who’s met me knows why I need this…I’m hopeless), miscellaneous pills, Burt’s Bee’s “green stuff” (my secret Mom remedy for everything), and some bobby pins.
5. Moo cards!
6. Bluetooth earpiece, my iPhone, my Moleskine notebook, my favorite Bic pens, and a wire-formed hippo. What? You don’t carry a hippo?
7. Prescription sunglasses, which I rarely needed in Seattle, but always need in Colorado.
8. Reusable shopping bag.
9. Wallet
10. Headphones and a microfiber cloth for the iDevices.
11. Splenda. Pretty sure these are remnants from my recent cross-country Splenda-stealing crime wave.
Happy, Jaymi?

Thank you so much for sharing your bag and daily carries. Like you said, I LOVE seeing what others bring with them. It's a great sneak peek into the mindset of a person's personality.
I'll repay the thought by sharing mine, once i've unpacked from the weekend's trip to SF.
