I carry many items with me,
such as a leatherman, my wallet, my keys, a creditcard-sized flashlight in my wallet, my watch, change.

In my backpack I have a USB drive, stapler, and various other items.

In my car trunk I have:
1) a spare set of clothes - you never know

2) duct tape and a tarp (all I need now is a shovel) - to cover my car in case of natural disaster, see link in my profile for hailstorm aftermath

3) toilet paper - I am lactose intolerant. I drank a milkshake. I was between towns in New Mexico. I had to blast away (ain't I dainty?) behind a large prickly bush. Then as I squatted there, I though "Oh shit what do I wipe with?" It was then that I saw, snagged on a cactus, an old crackly brown paper bag. Who knows where it had been, what it had contained, or who had touched it. I promptly wiped with it. I heard a Nelson-like laugh, and turned to discover, to my horror, that while I was hidden from traffic coming one way, that I was indeed half visible to people driving the other, such as the laughing biker. He almost fell off his bike as he sped by while laughing his ass off. That is why I will always carry toilet paper in my trunk.
