I am heading out for a long job. What should be in the bag so I don't regret it?

A list that holds up on real jobs: - Documents: ID, certifications and training cards, company paperwork, copies on your phone. - Climbing and PPE you own, inspected before the trip; spare gloves, safety glasses, a hard hat liner for cold days. - Clothes for the weather swing: base layers, rain shell, hi-vis, spare socks (more than you think), work boots that are already broken in. - A small tool pouch: headlamp with spare batteries, marker, tape, zip ties, multitool. - Personal: medications, a basic first-aid kit, sunscreen, a water bottle and electrolytes. - Travel comfort: phone charger and battery pack, earplugs, laundry bag, a lock for the gear. - Money: a card with room on it for per diem delay and a little cash. Keep your harness in your carry-on or your truck cab, never in a checked bag. — CrewRating Team.
