I am trying to decide on the purcase of a Condor or similiar pack for daily carry. I am just curious as to what everyone carries in there pack that makes it worth having. I am a full time student so I have a messenger bag for carrying my school books and such around. When I am not in school I just go out with what I carry in my pockets. Honsetly I can't really think of much else that I would really want to have in a pack I carry around with me.
I mean I have stuff that I would throw in a pack if I regularly carried one, but I can also get along just as well without it. Examples would be magazines or books if I ever need to stand around waiting. Maybe an MP3 player or CD player and headphones too. Don't have a laptop or PDA, so that isn't really an option, though I would like to get one. I guess I would also throw in a writing pad of some sort, as I already carry a pen but no paper unless I am at school or work. I guess a full size multi tool would also be in there, and possibly a bigger or longer lasting light.
The thing is all of that stuff would be nice, and most likely come in handy, BUT it wouldn't come close to filling a pack such as the Condor. So it would seem stupid to be walking around with this large(ish) pack with just a multi-tool, flashlight, pad, and magazine.
