"a loaf of bread, a jug of wine...etc"

I carry Via in my Evac ruck food kit. Love the stuff!

Carrot Top?

I always have a huge ebook selection and a number of audiobooks loaded on my Droid-X. Keep a spare phone battery in the truck, a number of rechargeable AA batteries, a solar charger, an AA battery phone charger, a 110 AC powered charger, an inverter, 2 USB drivers stuffed with more ebooks, media, movies, and TV shows, and a small netbook with humongous battery life to transfer files from drives to phone if needed. I also have a wife who can remind me every couple of minutes how its all my fault - so I think I'm covered in the entertainment department.

I carry a boot lace as a comfort item. I can practice knots when I'm bored. I can also use it for many different things.

By the way, I recently removed my USB flash drive and my peanut lighter from my on-person EDC. I moved these items to my laptop bag.

For Urban situ's,Aspirin,Tagamet,& TP Works for me!

EDC bag has following comfort items:
Pictures of my daughters and wife (for practical reasons as well.)
Nook loaded with books, both practical and entertaining.
Earl grey tea bags.

I'm adding some books to my phone...

My Galaxy Player. It is an ereader and has most of my personal files (word, excel, pdf formats), contacts, etc. as well as a large collection of photographs of family, etc.
I usually have a couple of stray magazines in the car.
I have a hand/solar powered radio in the "emergency bag" in the trunk. It charges my iphone and Galaxy.
Couple pair of readers now that my arms have become shorter.
