Cellphone. Be smart here and buy a high end smartphone. I've loaded compass, GPS and Swiss Army apps on mine. Very useful. Also make sure it has a torch function.

Key's. Two set's here. One to use and one lanyarded to you. Saves you a horrendous amount of grief if you loose/mislay a set

Cash money. How much is up to you. Take it as a given that the ATM always goes U/S at exactly the wrong moment.

Multitool. If it's a no-no for work, go work elsewere.

Torches. Always carry two. One to use, and one to not use. That way you always have a charged torch.

Lighter. The good old disposable Bic is first choice here. Again two. As above.

A small tin with basic med's, plasters etc is always useful.


Ok, clarification. These are the item's that personal experience has taught me to carry.

Two is one, one is none. A good rule to work by.

Two sets of keys because that's common sense.
The torches are decent quality single cell AAA.
I use Bic's because they are by far away the most robust small, light, easily obtainable lighter on the market.
The Ouch kit stops me bleeding all over my desk. For some odd reason people find that distressing. Peculiar, but there you go. whistle
