Some of them didn't.
|
|
Hello again, HPR. I'm coming to you live from the front porch again with the local
|
|
feral cat Barney and I hope I have enough time to record this other podcast and make it interrupted.
|
|
If so, I'll try and re-record it later. Just finished up the follow-up to the week in freedom.
|
|
And I really am enjoying this what's in my bag series. And so I wanted to follow through.
|
|
I've been carrying a 10-buck two bag for the better part of probably six years or so.
|
|
And it is beat up. I used to commute to work on a bicycle and it's taken a couple of spills,
|
|
moving pretty quick. It has saved my skin several times. It is a black 10-buck two-bag with a gray
|
|
stripe down the middle, built when they still made them in San Francisco. And it's covered in
|
|
some band patches, some custom made by friends of mine. A wonderful little from black flag to white
|
|
collar patch on the bottom of it. There's a long story behind that. Buy me a beer sometime and I'll
|
|
fill you in. But the general contents of my bag, clipped on the exterior, I carry some pure
|
|
L for whenever I get gunk on my hands. I eat a lot of oranges at work and it cuts right through
|
|
the stickiness. I carry a carabiner with a piece of string attached to it so that I can easily
|
|
clip a water bottle on here. The one thing that's not in my bag right now is my water bottle. I
|
|
carry about 32 ounces of water just about everywhere I go. Generally in a Nalgene, but I'm container
|
|
agnostic. I carry with me a small Winchester multi-tool, very small tool, has a couple of small
|
|
screwdrivers and some pliers and a nail file. Cheaply made, not very high quality but very good in a
|
|
pinch. Clips right onto my strap. Works quite well. I carry a little wall tag keychain from there,
|
|
from their gear. Quite enjoy that clothing company if I might plug someone for a minute, but at
|
|
any rate that's the zipper or the zipper broke. So now it's a wall's keychain. In the front zipper,
|
|
I keep a can of Altoids because my son eats them constantly. I keep a couple of packs of
|
|
clove chewing gum. I really love clove and carry some chewing gum with me wherever I go. I also
|
|
have two or three bags of tea. I like to drink some tea now and then and a packet of good old BC
|
|
powder. Nothing like an analgesic powder with some caffeine in it when you've got a terrible
|
|
aspirin in caffeine or cure almost anything. I'm pretty sure. Moving to the interior,
|
|
I keep a flashlight that I got when I was working with the open-suicide community, just an LAD
|
|
flashlight. It's got a, it looks like six, nine LADs in it. Pretty bright little guy. I carry some
|
|
blist X for chapter lips, a couple of pins, just a simple ballpoint pins.
|
|
In a business card, so if somebody finds my bag, they know who it belongs to. Got a fisherman's
|
|
front end and I carry some extra stuff in. I carry a spare pair of headphones. A stand for my
|
|
iPhone, which I never use. And two little flash drives, very small metal, a Kingston one and then
|
|
another one that I got from Novel and Open Suicide that is just the little pocket knife style.
|
|
Carry those from my GPG keys and moving anything around.
|
|
In the other pocket, I have a poncho, just a little plastic poncho that fits in one of the tiny
|
|
pockets. A small box of toothpicks, the T-Tree soaked toothpicks from Thursday Plantation.
|
|
Really great. When you need to clean your teeth out, get a power adapter in here.
|
|
Got a key to my bike lock, which I never use anymore because now my commute to work is approximately
|
|
45 minutes away, so I can't ride my bike anymore. Carry a small self-contained first aid kit,
|
|
zip up, it's got some cough drops and some pepto, you know, band-aids, tweezers, that sort of thing.
|
|
A cold pack, antibiotic appointment, Q-tips, the standard stuff. A couple of meal bars. I've got
|
|
two pro bars, a peanut butter one and a third original blend. I carry those if I get hungry
|
|
and sometimes I find it work. I don't have time to feed myself appropriately. So in the main
|
|
compartment, I always carry a towel. It goes back, yes, yes, it goes back to Hitchhiker's Guide to
|
|
the Galaxy. The first time I heard that, I figured it was genius and so I've been carrying a towel
|
|
ever since and I highly recommend everybody else carry one. It is so useful. Then I have a small
|
|
laptop sleeve from my work laptop. Right now I'm carrying two books. I have the Annotated Turing,
|
|
Charles Petzold. Check that one out from the library. It's a guided tour through Alan Turing's
|
|
Historic Paper on Computability and the Turing Machine. Really great book. It's the Layman's Turing.
|
|
And then I have Learn to Play Go, Volume 2, The Way of the Moving Horse by Janice Kim. And
|
|
barring this from a buddy of mine, wonderful book on sort of intermediate skills and go.
|
|
Highly recommend it and thanks to my buddy for letting me borrow that. Then I have a small
|
|
mead 5 star index card. I don't even know how to describe this. It's a binder. It's a spiral bound
|
|
binder and two thin plastic covers with a neoprene, maybe not neoprene, sort of nylon cover around
|
|
the spiral and inside it contains four plastic folders, four three by five notebooks or no cards,
|
|
excuse me, index cards. And maybe one of these days I'll explain my note taking an organization
|
|
system, but these four little pockets contain my notes for my everyday life. And without this I
|
|
would be lost. And it is nice that it's all plastic because it's mostly waterproof. Also the inside
|
|
of my bag contains a waterproofing material. I often carry cold things that have condensation
|
|
in my bag or I will carry around liquids, be it a beer run or perhaps some coffee or tea in my
|
|
water. So if that comes out, my laptop sleeve is waterproof as well. So my notes and the contents
|
|
of my bag and my laptop all stay safe, but I guess any books in there are going to be in trouble.
|
|
Now there's a tell though. So if it all spills out, I guess I'll be okay. So I think that's it.
|
|
That was a very, very, very short podcast I understand, but I am pressed for time and I wanted
|
|
to continue the series and I don't really carry much around. So thank you so much for listening
|
|
again. Thank you so much for supporting HPR. Please report some podcasts. I would love to hear
|
|
this. What's in my bag series continue? It has been a blast. And I hope that my bag has been
|
|
entertaining to you as well. All right guys, we'll catch you on the next podcast. Thank you for your time.
