Items in Your Camera bag/Backpack

[Greg Shchepanek]

When we go on our adventures in photography there are necessity items that should travel with you. Here I would like to discuss what items you deem necessary that you must have in your pack to make your trip and easygoing and successful one. Some examples would be matches, batteries, water purification tablets and anything else that is needed.
For me I always carry a pocketknife and whistle that I secure with lanyards to have easy access to when needed.

Canon EOS M100 • EF-M28mm f/3.5 MACRO IS STM • ƒ/3.5 28.0 mm 1/60 640 Flash (off, did not fire)

I have same knife Greg Shchepanek . By the way, good topic to discuss. I usually have battery, my tablet and remote control in my bag.

I have 2 bags, a little and a big. When I take the little I take my camera with macro lens, I have 2 batteries, and the raynox 250, and my cobra flash.
When I take the big bagpack : Camera, lens, tripod, and so many things ... Now I must think about what can I take with my little bag because I just bought 2 torshlights ...

Don't forget couple of sandwiches, a beer, and some chocolates
