About the bag
My bag itself is a stylish and nearly indestructible Harveys bag made of woven seatbelts. A great investment. In it, the four things I recommend carrying are:
Standard Black Sharpie ($7.99/12pk)
This comes in handy quite often for marking nearly any surface. ProTip: if it dries out, put it tip down in a shotglass with a little rubbing alcohol in the bottom. Good as new!
Streamlight ProTac HL Flashlight ($61)
This is a crazy bright police style flashlight. Heavy and battery-intensive, but worth it for the brightness. It has a strobe option, too.
Aquaphor Lip Repair Ointment ($4)
This is one of the few brands that does not irritate my lips.
Ice Breakers ($12/8pk)
Coolmint flavor only and always! I always have at least one in my bag and go through a package a day on shoots between myself and those who know I have them on my person.
