[Pernod]

Last night I went Meteor hunting, and I was surprised by the first things in my bag...

Headlamp. I'f I'm heading out from dusk onwards, this is always with me. Normally used in congunction with my flash to light my subject once its dark (and sometimes to see where I'm going).

GPS Unit - a Nokia N95 with 'Sport Tracker' installed for GPX logs. As an aside, if anyone else is a N95 user, the latest software update is a must get (it adds AGPS support, dropping the GPS lock time to only seconds).

And lastly, Coffee. Freshly ground coffee placed into a tea bag to make a Coffee Bag - perfect for on the run.

Oh, and I also through in my 2nd jacket, so that when my wife gets cold, I can give her mine and wear a backup
