Wait, is this something characteristic of the spectrum?

I love to take a backpack nearly everywhere with 1st basis supplies

Lol. Read the title and started giggling. Family asks why I giggle, I tell them and they start laughing.

So yes. After losing everything, including the backpack I always have it with me. It's a hard rule - the moment I'm far from it, I need something from it.

The contents are pretty much everything I might need during an average day. Keys, vallet, medicines, a notebook and a pen, bandages, headphones, deodorant.

Never leave home without one. I’m always amazed others don’t do it as well.

I carry a 5.11 Rush 72. Uually there’s:

• a camera; Fuji X-S20
• contact lens cleaner and storage
• small bicycle pump

• sunscreen during summer
• floppy boonie hat during summer
• one/two pocket knives
• a single watch storage case, usually with a watch in it
• a strip of blood pressure medication
• two powdered ibuprofen painkillers
• a bandaid or two
• a pen

And there’s bound to be something like a roll of candy, a snack, a water bottle, etc in it at any given time.
