Train Bag	2023-10-10	trains

I like to carry the things I need easy access to in a train bag. I hook this over the leg rest lever, and then I can just kinda chill and not need to get to my backpack at all.

Here's what's in my bag:

• Extension cord
• USB Power Supply & Battery
• Two USB C charging cables
• One USB Micro charging cable
• E-book reader
• Earbuds
• Sleepin' earbuds
• Thing I cram in my nose to keep me from snoring as much
• Practice bagpipe and wired earbuds
• Nintendo Switch if I brought that
• Resistance band for getting the ol' muscles moving
• Maybe a pair of reading glasses
• Whatever other non-food junk I feel like I might want

I typically leave that bag there for the entire trip. If I head into the observation car, I can bring the bag with me, and it's got my book and glasses and charger.

When it's time to deboard, I can grab the train bag, cram it into the backpack, and I'm all set.
