        Laptop, USB3 HDD, USB flash drive, USB to SATA, power cord, notebooks (very few notes actually taken, don't know why I keep them), and a USB3 to network adapter, phone charger, USB to Type-C cord. That's the normal stuff anyway.

        Yes, we do a lot of bench work.

                I use a leather satchel to/from work daily... when it's not mostly empty, I have my laptop in it, wallet, pen, papers, usb keys, maybe some loose change and letters.

                I also have my backpack with me (when I go to the gym before work), shoes, clothing, wash & grooming supplies, water, ymca card, bluetooth earbuds.

                              One of the best ways to identify a veteran fisherman vs an inexperienced one is by the size of his tackle box. Less is more. The better fisherman I become the less lures I carry. It's the opposite of what most people think..

                              What do you need other than a laptop to make connector whatever you need to access?

                                Probably different for desktop tech who needs tools, but if you don't handle that kind of stuff, really a laptop is all you need

                                    Often don't even need that. I bring one, typically, but not always.

                                      For me, I'm only ever onsight if I'm there for meetings. Don't need a laptop distracting me if I'm talking to customers.

                                        Can't argue the mouse. I. Can't stand touchpads either!

                                          That's pretty funny. Except that a real fisherman has a frickin' boat and nets. Tackle box is for amateurs. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                                            Using a net is much easier than fishing lures. With a net, you only need to find fish. Find bait fisherman needs to find and hook the fish. The sport fisherman needs to find, lure and hook in the fish.

                                            While fishing with a net yeilds the most numbers, obviously it doesn't translate to more pay. The highest paid fishermen are sport fishermen. Obviously the sponsored tournament guys are millionaires, but many local guys do quite well. Sport fishing charters often charge $700-1000 a day. We have about 100 of them just in our county. We are a big tourist area, but most areas have 10-20 of those guys in each area around The US. I know of many fishing guides and charters around the world as well.
