What's in my Bag in 2018

What's in my Bag in 2018

Continuing my annual bag review tradition. I've greatly reduced the amount of items I carry with me each day from 2017. I now have items at-the-ready to add to my bag for the occassional overnight trip, but I no longer carry them by default. I also keep a duplicate of a few items at my work and home offices, so I don't have to lug things back and forth. This has made my back happier, and it makes it easier to find items.
