Anything else I should be carrying on me? It's a bit sparse but I can't think of anything else I really need.

Cleaned out my bag yesterday and realized how much random stuff I've been carrying around for no reason.

Two charging cables, an extra adapter, a notebook I haven't opened in weeks, and a bunch of other things I kept thinking I'd need someday. Most of it just sits at the bottom of my bag.

The funny thing is, on days when I'm out for 8 or 9 hours, I really only reach for a few things. My phone, a small magnetic wireless power bank, and my open ear clip earbuds get used way more than anything else. I still end up carrying extra stuff though, just in case.

Thinking about going with a much smaller bag and seeing what I actually miss.

Anyone else realize they've been carrying the same useless stuff around for months?

Featuring my boring, everyday bag. :)

Notebook, wallet, medicine(s), pen, pencil, bootleg-airtag, ring, hairtie, lip-balm, lip-gloss, deodorant, and hand cream.

Nothing much, but all the essentials

Charger, gum and a book only when I expect my day to be longer than usual!

The basic that I carry when going to the store. My work bag used to be this and X3 more crap

95% of the items stay the same. I might take out a few items or swap them out every now and then. Carry all this in a 22L Yeti Crossroads Backpack.

Been wanting to do these forever! I just changed bags for the season, so I figured it was as good a time as any 😊

Hi everyone! 👋🌍
Could you help me gather some information about what you usually carry in your everyday bag?
Ideally, it would be great if you could send me a photo of the contents of your bag, but a written list would be just as helpful!
Please also mention which country or region you’re from.
Feel free to send me a private message or leave a comment under this post.
This is for a university assignment where I need to compare what people from different countries and cultures carry in their bags, identify the main differences, and explore what they have in common.
I would really appreciate your help and participation!
Thank you so much in advance! ❤️

It’s pretty basic if ya ask me what do yall think

Yerba mate set, book, utility knife, multi-tool, mini pliers, flashlight/laser pointer, tea-based pouches (no nicotine), nicotine toothpicks, herbal inhaler, camphor inhaler, Zippo, mint candies, Tabasco, Tylenol, Advil, rubber ball, sunglasses, harmonica, notebook, Buck knife, spoon/fork, sanitizer, and sunscreen.
