I don't take a lot of stuff but I believe that I'm going to start taking some bug repellant. It's pretty aggravating having gnats crawl in my ears when I'm flying.

If you are going to be there all day then don't forget the pizza delivery no. A slice or two and a cold pop right around lunch really hits the spot!!

I carry just about what everone else does but in my box i always have a first aid kit and i have a bigger one in the car too. you never know when you are going to need it. only takes a moment to get distracted and finger/s into a spinning prop

RE: take to the field?
 

Field first aid kit = windex, tape and a clean paper towel! Ammonia might be a little hard on you though.. :D

I carry my stuff in seperate boxes to. If I had everything I bring in one I'd get a hernia lifting my box if it wasn't in a good lifting position.

A cell phone...JUST IN CASE...my wife calls, heh heh.

This reminds me of a question I have: my Nextel does crazy things to FM radios (I'm sure other people have experienced this), lots of interference when ringing or connected. Do these phones also do this to 72 Mhz aircraft radios? If so, can it be in the car or must it be turned OFF before parking at the field?

Interesting observation. Hospitals have complained that IV infusion pumps have, in certain cases, run "wide open", and blame it on cell phones nearby, on STANDBY mode!! This has happenned in patients in the ICU receiving drugs like dopamine, which require very accurate infusion rates; giving the drug "wide open" results in tremendous and sudden increase in blood pressure, which could have fatal consequences (stroke, for instance). Supposedly the newer infusion pumps are shielded to prevent such occurence. Scarry though, since cell phone are everywhere, even at the flying fields.

Slightly off the subject is the fact that my neighbor was told by his cardiologist to stay away from RC equipment, because his Internal Automatic Cardioverter Defibrillator (AICD) could go off and "ZAP" him. This has never happened to him however.
