I've had a few years to collect these invaluable items and due to the fact that we sit for the entire day out on the stand, it's saved my .
1) Never underestimate the value of technical clothing (Base Layers)
- Under Armour Skin Tight Base Layer
- Under Armour Base Layer 3.0 or 4.0 (depending on how cold it is)
- Breathable, wicking sweaters
and on the cold days, I have a North Face down jacket that can collapse into a small ball, I love it and am so happy that I have it. You put that on and do a couple push-ups or squats and to generate body heat and the down jacket does the rest. It's simply a must in cold weather combined with very little movement.
2) Non-scented pre-packaged wet wipes
- For your hands (if you want to eat lunch with some what of clean hands)
- For your .
It comes in small package, easily packable and if it rains, it doesn't get soaked like TP would sitting in your bag.
3) Sunflower seeds (or chewing tobacco)
4) Some guys may complain about this but I have a small MSR Pocket Rocket Stove (
http://www.basspro.com/MSR-PocketRoc...product/45441/), I can run it on the lowest setting and it makes no sound and will slowly warm up a soup or chilli for lunch. Or, a fresh cup of tea before you get ready for the evening push.
Lastly, nothing beats a cellphone that has 3G or 4G access... If you have it than a Mophie battery power station will become your best friend. I have one that can charge my phone 3 times.
Hope this helps.
