Odds and Ends...

[jdmara]

In a tread earlier this evening I asked about whistle hygiene. I know that I carry only the bare essentials in my bag typically. In addition to my two pair of pants, whistles, lanyards, misc shirts, socks, shoes, etc; I carry a toothbrush, toothpaste, pre-game board, rules/case books, officiating notebook (to record observations/incidents/etc), pen(s)....umm...I think that's all I carry typically. I know some officials carry a air pump needle. What else do you carry?

Plastic bag for dirty/wet items. I sweat alot. Even in a routine game I finished with a soaked shirt.

Sewing kit, ibuprofen, shower stuff, rules/case/officials manuals, pre-game board (which has almost never been used), journal and pens, extra whistles and lanyards, shoe polish, flex belt (early in the season helps keep the shirt in, later in the season helps keep the pants up ), energy bars, sports drink, occasionally a Red Bull. Uni & jacket of course.

Along with much of the normal stuff already discussed - small first-aid kit, listerine strips, tissues and a roll of toilet paper (sometimes I don't get a fancy, big time gym with nice facilities).
