Occasionally I'll get dunked on for being an overprepared granny but I don't give a single fuck, I've used every single thing I cart around with me whilst out in the wild. The candy and nuts specifically have saved me multiple times when whoever I happened to be with starts showing signs of being crabby babies from low blood sugar

How big are your bags if you have all that stuff in them?

It might be a lot of stuff but they’re mostly small things. Personally I don’t know why people stop wearing backpacks after they’ve finished school, I find it quite convenient. And it keeps people from stealing it because I look poor.

It's because I went to school before laptop but after the 80s, so I was in that small time period where we were all lugging around super-heavy books as kids and it hurt our shoulders.

I've been using this bag for awhile now. Not counting the water bottle, everything else I've listed takes up about half of the available space.
 
Pipe wrench, crescent wrench, tin snips, side cutters, linesman pliers, longnose pliers, pump pliers, number 2 Philips and Robertson screw drivers, flat screw driver, hammer, tube cutter, non-contact voltage tester, a very small flat and Phillips screwdriver, an assortment of impact driver bits, electrical tape, sometimes I throw in other shit when I need it.

This is what I carry. Yeah yeah, “lol $400 bag”, it wasn’t when I bought it and it’s the last backpack I’ll ever need, I’m fine with paying a lot once for something that won’t disintegrate after two years of daily use.

“The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.​

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.​
​
But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.​
​
This was the Captain Samuel Vimes 'Boots' theory of socioeconomic unfairness.”​

― Terry Pratchett​

Like previous people pointed out, everything is pretty small for the most part. The biggest thing in my purse is my epipen which I need for my peanut allergy, especially if I am going to eat somewhere. Infact, I recently got a bigger purse for my birthday a couple months ago which I am slowly transitioning to. It is a Sakroots purse which is probably my favorite brand of purse.

If I am going to be waiting somewhere for several hours or I am going on an overnight trip, I will bring my crochet project bag in my project bag, I have:

My hook case with my ergonomic crochet hooks
my current pattern
my current project
an extra ball of thread especially if I am going to run out soon
a small case of stitch markers
small case of tapestry needles
stitch counter
pencils
scissors
measuring tape to check gauge

Fun fact: my project bag is that mushroom tote bag you could get from Club Nintendo back in the day

Do you mean a Stylus? A stylist cuts and dyes your hair.
Anyway, here's my list. I use what I like to call a matryoshka packing scheme. I'm a dude so most days it's all contained in pockets, I have a small bag/pouch for when I need more space, and a slightly bigger one that fits in a backpack and can also hold the smaller bag.
Always on me:
-Phone
-keys+Gerber Artifact multitool on keychain
-pen/writing pad. Usually Rhodia or Rite in the Rain. I have a tac pen with a glass breaker and handcuff key in it.
-Handkercheif(s), I like the salt-armor mask thingies when the mask restrictions were going on.
-Wallet+standard wallet things+metal eraser guard+basic lock pick set
- Kershaw assist-opening knife or a utility knife if I know I'm fucking with boxes
Slightly bigger bag:
-Bigger/more writing pads
- Clip light+small/powerful LED flashlight
-more pens/pencils, usually incluude my 6" machinist scales, picks, and a carbide etching tool
- Charger pack, cables, wireless headphones
Murse:
-All of the above
- Springfield Armory Subcompact S&W.40
- Extended magazines
- ESEE Izula
Almost all of my bags/pouches have velcro somewhere so I can be stylish with my small collection of very autistic patches.
Edit for forgotten things that migrate as needed: Business card case, cigarette case, folding mirror (all brushed stainless and minimalist). I haven't smoked cigarettes in a long time but for vaporizer(s)/weed the cig case works well. I also have a couple different multitools from Gerber and Leatherman. I also have some small pick/file sets. The diamond files are also the best damn nail file you'll ever use.

I have a many years-old no-name brand bag with lots of pockets I use to store

- pepper spray
- wallet
- 3DS or Switch
- cell
- lipgloss
- period pads
- alcohol pads
- sunscreen lotion
- hand sanitizer
- car keys
- extra socks
- flats
- deodorant
- solar flashlight
- disposable face masks

It's tall and wide enough to fit one folder which is convenient for job interviews and lunches. I want to switch to something more feminine tbh.
 
Sometimes I take a bunch of stuff out, but I generally try not to. Sometimes you won't know you'll need something unless you find out the hard way. As previously pointed out in the thread's context, all of these things are tiny, so it doesn't take a big bag to carry it all around; mine's not even big enough to fit a full-sized notebook. Still, the weight adds up and gets rough on the shoulder after a while. Keep that in mind before you pull the asshole move of handing your GF/wife something heavier than a 2-oz pack of raisins to cart around in her purse for you, unless you're going to carry her purse for her.
