Hello flyers
Just Want to get a few ideas from some kiters out there.
Apart from the kite and mandatory accessories what do you pack in you kite bag?
Would be interesting see what people pull out their bags.

Lots of water bottles both for drinking and as third hand for weighting kite while folding in the wind.
Orange plastic cones as markers for kite lines (parked kite) to keep people from tripping or to keep beach patrol from running them over
