For accessories, I carry:

• Apple Wired EarPods, for video calls or emergencies
• Startech USB-C hub, for port expansion
• ADATA 64GB USB drive, for Linux or whatever else
• Logitech MX Master for games or precision.

And to keep everything connected together:

• Apple Magsafe charging cable
• USB-C to Lightning charging cable
• USB-A to mini-USB charging cable

I also carry some non-tech essentials:

• Ray-Ban prescription sunglasses
• First-aid kit, originally from London Drugs
• Various infection prevention items, eg., masks and hand sanitizer
• STM-branded screen cleaning cloth, also good for glasses
• Tide stick, to avoid public humiliation.

All this is stored in two main bags:

• The main bag is the GoRuck GR-1 military-spec rucksack
• The interior accessories bag is the LTT Tech Sack, from my fellow Canadians at Linus Tech Tips.
