You could have one for the daily must carry stuff and another for the stuff you only sometimes need to carry.
Yeah well I was thinking along the lines of a sort of Thunderbird 2 rucksack :lol: there's a few things I simply want close by wherever I am, my belt bag is a bit much for some of the activities I partake in, or it could be that some things in there belong in the rucksack, the "go drawer" or shelf, should sort out my issues, I need to see those items and pack them or for them to always be packed, even around the house I have taken to wearing cargo trousers (or shorts) practically all the time with a few "never without" items, it's helped me losing weight too having a belt on rather than loose track suit bottoms, you are more aware when you are full when fully dressed ;)

All of this could be a mind set as much as anything, perhaps I need to spend time just mucking around packing and unpacking stuff like others seem to do, experimenting? I'd also throw into the mix pocket discipline... mine sucks, with cargo trousers and a fishing vest, I can spend a few minutes remembering which one I put the car keys in among other things, so I need to develop a sensible system of where to put things, after all I do in my belt bag have a place for the items within... why can't I seem to do the same with pockets?
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

I am so glad to be a woman, couldn't stand to have stuffed pockets weighing me down all day :? Love that I can just grab a bag and be out the door in seconds if need be. :P I say hurrah for hand/grab bags :D

I use a belt bag :) but I choose to not be without some items, I suppose it's a trade off really and when you're used to having a few things in your pockets, it can't be much worse than wearing a bra must be ;)

Which is also a great place to stash some money if things get desperate!! I've had a few notes secretly stashed away in my bra before now and I've even had my phone shoved down the middle to keep it on hand but safe from pickpockets 8-) Mr Decaff thinks its hilarious when I start shoving things out of sight :? :shock: :lol:
