What's in my bag? — Kent Barnes
Chocolove Chocolate Bars ($7)
I always pack a chocolate bar. A chocolate bar with coffee is even better.
Simple Modern Wave Water Bottle ($15)
These are vacuum insulated double wall stainless steel hot/cold thermoses. I added a foam cover for more insulation and dent prevention.
Tile Pro with Replaceable Battery ($24)
I've been using Tile since its 2015 Kickstarter. I used to hack in a new battery, but now the Pro model has a replaceable one.
Reflective Fiber Optic Blinking Red LED Roadside Safety Strip ($7)
A flashing LED light is good when walking at night. I think the one I use came from a dog collar I bought at the flea market for a dollar.
About the bag
It's a ChicoBag Compact Recycled Backpack ($30). I have 2 of them. Extremely light, with two stretchy side pockets for my water or thermos. It's divided into 2 sections inside, with a 8'' x 6'' zipper pocket outside that the whole backpack can fold into, making a pretty small footprint.
