What is in the bag?

I am here trying to get ready for my Christmas Tournaments and thinking about all the stuff I have to put in the bag.

OK guys let us have a little fun, what do you put in your bag? How many shirts? How many pants? What undergarments? Hair products? Any IcyHot? Sock? Orthotics?

Basically I just want to know what you put in your bag and what you cannot live without if you forgot that item in your bag?

Peace

I carry most of the usual stuff everyone else has listed plus I carry around a few past evaluations and a list of things that I need to work on. I review them for a few minutes prior to my partner arriving and have a goal or two that I want to work on.

No, you are not.

I forgot to mention the unmentionables.

I did have to work a ms game in white socks this year. Now I have spare compression shorts, socks, and undershirts.
