   For my daily commute to work on the Mountain, I usually have a snack   
   packed.  Also, two sets of insulated ski bibs (hey, ski season's here,   
   I want to have a chance to go at the drop of a hat), wool socks, wool   
   and/or fleece hat and gloves (in multiples, lots and lots of gloves   
   and hats end up lurking in my trunk by March), hiking boots, fleece   
   jackets (I also have several pairs of riding boots in the trunk but   
   that's for the barn), water bottles, chains, plastic for me to kneel   
   on while attaching my chains that's tarp-sized, cell phone,   
   flashlight(s)...   
      
   When we go out skiing, or when I do the Timberline ski nights, I add   
   food in the car.  We usually carry excess water, knives, TP, excess   
   plastic grocery shopping bags, space blankets, and high-energy   
   munchies.  Hunting season when we're out hunting, we carry our camp   
   box which has even more stuff in it, including matches.   
      
   I need to put a lighter back in my purse.  I don't usually carry a   
   knife in it because they're forbidden at school.
