Default Re: Must have items in your sea bag

definitely wear steel toes, way too heavy & bulky to pack.
flip flops for off watch (keep in outer pocket of suitcase, as these are good to put on during long haul and ultra long haul flights).
sun glasses, obviously.
sun block: I'm a whiteboy, 'nuf said.
reading material: been stuck without and for me it is torture (work 8-12 hours per day, sleep 7, that still gives me 4-5 off.)
one boiler suit/coveralls in my black rolly suitcase: long sleeve for latitudes over 30 degrees, tropical for below 30 degrees. default is short sleeve for me.

oh yeah: black knit watch cap.... don't leave home without it.

We are demoblizing from our latest job site and preparing for transit to the Big Apple, New York Harbor. There's been a run in the sanitary stores as crew members leave for their time off. Fast, roomy, reliable and white is always fashionable.

Timberland makes some really nice boots now with titanium toes (as opposed to steel) that are way lighter - I think mine weigh 3 lbs. for the pair, so I just decided to pack them since they're not the most comfortable thing to fly in...especially long flights.
