Great list. I need to carry water as well given the hot climate here. Water really adds on the weight for the bag (@ 8lbs./gal).

I always have water in my car, but the utility/weight ratio wasn't enough for me to carry water in the bag. Then again, I'm in Ohio so it is less of a problem. A bunch of purification tablets was my compromise.

I've been rethinking the visa cards. Might switch over to silver or gold but that has issues too.
