Congrats on the new job!
Are you carrying water in your 32oz water bottle?
Is there a backup flashlight that I missed?
A few large paperclips and bobby pins allow for improvisation and weigh next to nothing.
Consider adding a contractor bag. Weighs little and has many uses.
Consider adding a charger for your phone.
Yes, the water bottle is full and the LED glowstick has a flashlight mode. I also keep a MagLite Solitaire in my LM Wave sheath. Not the best, but with a back-up headlamp for biking, I think I'll be set.
Great idea about the contractor bag. When I got home yesterday, I swapped out one of the Heatsheets blankets for an AMK/SOL bivvy. Same concept but a little more versatile, I think.
A phone. Is as the top of my list to buy. I have an old one that will call 911, but I am going to upgrade to a smartphone very soon. I went without using a cell phone for years, and did just fine without it, but this commute seems a little more challenging.
Thanks for the help!
