so is there anything that you can never be without while shooting. any little items that you must have with. kind of looking for those little items that your glad you bought. even accessories that you didnt think you needed but cant live with out.

Battery charger! (or extra battery) I was recently in Utah shooting MDRS at 5:00 am, shooting some great starry sky night shots, when the camera tells me "Battery done"! Arrrgh - Knew I forgot something!

Ha, no kidding, or, enough electronic film... I have been shooting digital for enough years now that you would think I would automatically PACK my CF cards, but I will admit that there has been at least one occasion where I have forgot! DOH!

word on the batteries. when I first bought my camera I only had the one that came with it. Now I have two camera batteries, and three batteries for the video camera

I thought batteries and cards where a given. Is there any knick knack things you must have with you?

not a must have, but one of those small rubber dust blowers can be handy on the line.

If i'm going out for birds or scenics I usually take just what I need. But, if i go to the track I take it all. Everything I need is in the bag except charger (wich i take out of town) . The bag is HUGE and heavy, it almost doesn't fit on the passenger seat. That's why I have a van. Quad, ladder, tripod ,towels,cooler,everything but the kitchen sink. I don't leave home or go to far without it all.

Monopod - a ton easier to carry around than a tripod
