    @Parzi whoops, party not part. Tbh I like the fact that you're ready to make a fire in a big city but I can't judge. I always carry a 1tb HDD and a 16 GB USB stick with a few live distros so I can rescue anyone's laptop

    And then there's me, I literally just carry clothes, basic necessities, and a book or two (and two basic medicines). Maybe something to write on.
    Laptop only if it's a tech related thing (tech conference etc.) or if there's a confirmed LAN party/group gaming session.
    Other stuff, never. It's good to disconnect.

    Of course I don't have to worry about stuff not working, I use Windows :p

    @Nanos life jacket seems overkill but everything else is very cool

    Condoms?

    Your phone?

    @cst1992 my phone is a given, and on my person.

    @12bitfloat good point, adding now.

    @Nanos I need a life jacket that *fits*, yeah. A snake venom kit is a good idea, i'll have to grab one. Water purification can be done with a fire, but for quick purification, yeah, okay...

    @Jacquobite can't find any online.

    I have been informed that no party's complete without an Amiga.
    A friend is bringing his. Also I don't have one. (Definitely on the purchase list though!)
