In a typical year, I change my surroundings quite frequently, and also change the items that I carry around. When I am on a hunt, or a hike, or just an afternoon walk to a business meeting, the items that tag along always coincide with the topic and or the content that is required. I already expounded about the Alaskan guide pack list, but I also spend a great deal of time in an office, and traveling with my office always in tow. So, I have compiled a list of the top ten items that are a must have in my shoulder bag, and maybe they will give you some ideas to improve your traveling office. The main key about this list of items, is that it they are portable. Many of you out there, like me, are always on the move, and so the tools we use every day must be able to be packed up and shipped out. So anyway, hope you enjoy this list.

Top Ten Items I Keep In My Shoulder Bag

1. Macbook Pro Computer
   1. There was a certain time that I was not into Macintosh computers, but as soon as I bought one, I immediately loved it, and have been faithful ever since. Of course not everyone needs to have a Mac, however, in all the three years I have had mine,I never had a virus that I know of, and for design and video, there is no alternative.
   2. $1999. However if you are a student you can get a discount at the Mac Education Store
2. Western Digital, My Passport
   1. This amazing little piece of equipment is hard matched by much else. Super small portable hard drive, that runs off of the power of you computer, so no messy cords to mess with, and really easy use. Very Portable
   2. $149.99
3. Skull Candy in ear Headphones
   1. Small, light weight, slight noise cancellation, and great comfort, and for a cheap price.
   2. 13.99
4. Panasonic DMC TZ5 Digital Camera
   1. A great camera for a point and shoot. 10x optical zoom really gets it out there.
   2. $330.00
5. Logitech Pocket mouse
   1. This paired with a mouse pad, and a jell wrist support, make the set up a hundred times better
   2. cheap
6. 1 G. USB Flash drive
   1. Sandisk is a good brand, but there are many different brands, they just keep making them bigger and bigger.
   2. $25.00
7. Multi Memory Card Reader
   1. Saves having to carry the cable for your camera to transfer pictures to your, and also allows a freedom to get pictures from various other cameras and formats.
   2. $30.00
8. Black Berry Pearl
   1. I got by for quite sometime before I bought my first smart phone, and I never regretted the decision, even though it cost me more money in my monthly bill, It saved me money, to be able to schedule and look up on maps, it has become one of my closest items.
   2. $30.00, with 2 year contract with Verizon
9. Misc. Cords etc.
   1. I always carry a fire wire cable, headphone splitter, VGA video adapter, start up discs, USB 2.0 cables, so anyway, it doesn’t hurt to have a few extra backups for when projects pop up out of no where.
10. Good old Pen and Paper
    1. Its hard to beat the good old standby. Some things only can be explained in sketches, or on something tangible, so make sure you keep the old fashioned in with the new.
