Not sure if any of you care about this but I'm going to post it anyway.
A few months ago, I was in France doing research on cheese, pâté and wine. And by "research", I mean I was cramming them into my gullet. One of my goals, other than to gain 15 pounds in fois gras weight alone, was to make a few Youtube videos. The kit you see above was my airplane carry-on satchel and contained everything I needed to make videos in case my check-in luggage got lost and was forced to wear the same outfit for 2 weeks. Unless of course I was able to buy some haute couture from the Charles De Gaulle Airport snack shop. Then I'd be set (and Euro stylin!).
What's great is that this bag was also a good place to keep our maps, brochures, passports and there was a zippered pocket where I could dump all the Euro coins I got as change for purchases (mostly batteries and band-aids). I don't know about you guys, but figuring out exact change when you make purchases in a foreign country with foreign looking coins always frustrates me. I'd rather just hand the cashier a bill and have them give me change, which then goes into the bag with all the other change. By the end of the trip, it felt like I had a few kilos of change sloshing around the bag.
Now that I think of it, Grumpy has a similar man pouch that he carries with him on trips. Though I'm pretty sure he just uses it to carry his Beanie Babies and ChapStick.

Great surviving kit... missing a knife, a fork and the plaid napkin... what else? well, I'm well educated...
The sequined camera on the bag sure is pretty.

@DeG: ah yes, the correct spelling, "foie gras", oops! you know what else is illegal in Chicago? putting ketchup on hot dogs. however, i love ketchup on hot dogs. ketchup on ketchup is good too.
I recognize that bag! Russ, can you give me the brand/name of your microphone. Rel-Bar
@Le: yo Rel-Bar, it's a Zoom H1, the cheapest of the series. i think you might like the H2 or H4n better though.
That is a brilliant kit I need one of those
Did you let the uniformed french custom clerks give your sack a good squeeze and a thorough examination? Did you like it?
