Love this! You run prepared. I take most of this out of my pockets at night, except for the makeup! Apparently I need a handbag, but they've not caught on for us guys much. Maybe one in camo would work. Maybe one night I can sneak my wife's bag and photo it. I note that yours does not contain your all of your keys, or at least no vehicle keys. My wife's will not contain keys either, as they are always lost! Actually, I may photo what comes out of my pockets. I tell you it is not much less! I further note that you would not get on a plane with some of this!

You are a brave woman!

So long as you're not to the point where you're buying duplicates because you can't find something that you "just know it's in here somewhere, but..." ;^)

That's not a bag! It's a suitcase!
Cheryl Hawkins05-Nov-2004 21:21
My bag only weighs 4 lb when full stuffed with this gear, that's not bad, is it?
gary becker05-Nov-2004 21:06
OMG, your poor back !!! Very cool idea and shot, Cheryl.
Neal Nye05-Nov-2004 04:51
Not bad. I carry that much junk and I don't even carry a purse. Nice photo. Good lighting. Fun.
Karen Leaf05-Nov-2004 04:11
I think I'm the only female in the US who doesn't normally carry a bag. Now I want one!
Guest 05-Nov-2004 02:27
Ha-ha! What a lot of stuff to carry around. MacGyver would be proud!
Cheryl Hawkins05-Nov-2004 01:35
Hey, you never know when you want to measure something!
Steve Pepple05-Nov-2004 01:32
Wow, and they say guys are gadget geeks - PDA, MP3 player, USB thumb drive, and hands free cell phone. And you are like a Boy Scout, prepared for everything - batteries, razor knife, Swiss Army knife, tape measure, floss, flashlight, tweezers, nail cutters, etc. You are missing a first aid kit and the kitchen sink. LOL.

WOW... that bag must be heavy ;), I like it... thanks for sharing. Josy
Gary Blanchette05-Nov-2004 00:06
Wow! I see a lot of essentials there. I just might have to start carrying a bag as well.

Guest 04-Nov-2004 22:45
A true gadget junkie's bag!! NICE!
Dennis Steinauer04-Nov-2004 22:44
Hope you don't try going through airport security with that!
Guest 04-Nov-2004 22:39
Why the measuring tape?
Gary Winters04-Nov-2004 22:37
This is a hoot, and yet another reason I thank God I was born a male! ;-)
Si Kirk04-Nov-2004 22:35
Looks a little too organised!
Cheryl Hawkins04-Nov-2004 22:30
Actually it isn't that heavy! This is my little bag.
Guest 04-Nov-2004 22:28
COOL! Glad to see more are doing these! I think they're fun!

You poor darling-that purse must weigh 20 pounds! I may get the courage to post mine yet.
