Regardless of what the photography entails, I always carry a few snacks and a container of glucose tablets (diabetic stuff) and a bottle of water.

Some high school events (softball, baseball, soccer, etc) have concession stands, some don't. I always go prepared with a small drink/snack box. Even if I leave it in the truck, I know it is there.

Most have already been posted...
pens, notepad, gaffer tape, garbage bags, sunscreen and insect repellent (if it's a wildlife photo trek)

Extra large Domke bag with my IMI Model A Uzi and a few extra clips. The 70-200 2.8 attracts attention so I have to be prepared.

With good reason, I mean after all we are on level orange or ..is it... teal...kind of a mauvey purple?... anyway it terrifies me (yeah right). Must mean it's effective.

No accessory kit is complete without a grey card and a fifth of white lightning.

I always wondered what was meant by a bayonet mount lens.
