Personally I'm a nooby photographer but while I was sorting my bag out I was wondering what others found to be a necessity to be in their camera bag?

What do you take with you everywhere you go?

Please excuse the poor image, my iPhone 4 is not the best ;)

I like walking, exploring, hiking etc so I have gear for landscape photography. I use a Hama Daytour 230 bag, it holds everything in the top section and enough room in the bottom for water proofs and food.

I have the following in my bag

2) tokina 11mm-16mm f2.8 dxII
3) sigma 30mm f1.4
4) sigma 18mm-50mm f2.8 IS
5) auto macro tubes
6) varying filter sizes, ND, CPL.
7) remote and time lapse remote
8) 2x 8gb 45 sandisk extreme
9) 1 16gb 45 sandisk extreme
10) three batteries for camera
11) cloths, sensor cleaner, blower etc
12) danbo and andoriod
13) spare batteries
14) head torch
15) torch
16) water proof trousers, top and gators
