What's In Your Bag

DialedN_07 - 20-8-2016 at 07:39 PM

I have a nice bag that came with my kite that offers storage, zippered compartments, buckle closure, shoulder straps, etc.

Wondering OTHER THAN KITES. What do you carry in your kite bag?
All I have currently is a stake, the manual to one of the kites, an Allen wrench, kite killers, Y line, and the connector to change handles to bar.

What do you have, and what should I add?

I'm still new to this, but I happened to ask the exact same question last year:

Some good suggestions there.

Edit: Maybe it was two years ago... Time flies when you wish you were flying kites. :)

My car is my kite bag. As well as all the kite-related paraphernalia and a change of clothes (hey, you never know), I always have a bottle of bubbles for those times that I get to the field, and the wind dies.

It's difficult to be frustrated when you're blowing bubbles :spin:

Only because alternative stress relief methods tends to be harder to pack and requires support staff/pit crew.

Well I always end up with a water bottle or two stuffed in one of my bags, a leash for my buggy is always around, either in a kite bag or my buggy bag. Good place to put your hat while you have your helmet on as well. When I buggy, I have a buggy bag on the back filled with a lot of stuff, creates a nice ballast, suntan lotion, sand bags, extra water, sunglasses, hat, granola bars, whatever else I think I may need for an extended period of time on the beach.
