Cube #3

What it originally contained:

• Microphone wind guards: I used these to put over the microphone on my bluetooth earbuds so that people I was phoning could hear me better. I had to slice a guard open wrap it around the microphone. I secured it with a few small stitches of black thread.
• Tape measure
• Luggage lock down wire: To secure backpack on busses or trains.
• Headlight: For emergencies
• Universal language translator
• Earbud with charging case
• iPhone case with slash proof lanyard
• Two hat retainers
• Eyeglass repair kit
• Spare sunglasses
• security whistle
• Large carabiner
• Spare regular glasses
• Hero Clip Carabiner

What was removed:

• Microphone wind guards: I realized that I don’t make very many calls while out walking now.
• Luggage lock down wire: never found a use for it
• Universal language translator: iPhone is more hand with anyone one of several translator apps.
• One hat retainer: I figured that I only needed one, since I only had one hat. I left the other to pick up in Texas if I lose the one I have.
• Eyeglass repair kit: I never used it.
• Security whistle: don’t feel the need for it
• Large carabiner: never used it
• Hero Clip Carabiner: never used it
• Bag Full of Tracer Tags : never bothered to program them.

What was kept:

• Tape measure: used it several times
• Headlight: didn’t use it, but still kept it
• Earbud with charging case: More about this in later post
• iPhone case with slash proof lanyard: must have
• One hat retainer: used this a lot. It keeps my hat from blowing away.
• Spare sunglasses
• Spare regular glasses
