Actually, I'm a Director at this company, which means there's travel again, not as much as in the past, but it's sill there.
I do carry a bag - actually it's a laptop backpack - it was a freebie at a trade event, and it's pretty good. The backpack is full of all kinds of doo-dads, including a VX-5 ham radio, more FAK stuff, some tools, a snack or two, plenty of water (2 liters, in 2 containers), a book to read, a small towel - all the stuff you need to spend 4 hours stuck in traffic on a bus.
However, the bag isn't always with me - sometime I run out for a bit to eat, sometime I have a meeting nearby. The basic scenario is something blowing up near me, a blackout, a As far as N-B-C attacks, you're not getting away from that, I'm not kidding myself.
But a dusty, messy building going down, well, my n95 mask and a bandana is handy for that, huh?
