I stole this idea from Barefoot TJ, but he suggested it in an earlier thread that I started. Plus when do you get to use the words "fanny pack" w/ a large group of people & get nods instead of looks of disgust?
My question is: what do you keep in your BFR fanny pack to protect against the miscellaneous dangers we encounter out there?
I am so early in the process that I only run 7-12 mins per outing so I often leave my pack of goodies in the car, @ my office, in my place, etc. But here are the contents of my pack (that is based on my in-depth reading of the BFR books in my very limited library!)
1. a fanny pack. (not a real "fanny pack" in the touristy sense, but one for runners that clips around your waist that is made of absorbent material & has a smalll pocket for your keys & 1-2 other items.)
2. super glue. (read this somewhere. used as a quick patch for any cuts or healing blisters)
3. individually wrapped alcohol wipes. (kind of like the ones you get when you get wings....cleanliness is next to....you know the rest.)
4. tweezers in case I need to tweeze.
5. keys.
6. allen wrenches. doesn't everyone have allen wrenches? maybe not, but i often ride my bike to work. better safe than sorry!
Funny thing about this fanny pack. I know nothing about bikes except how to ride them. I volunteered (w/ my 3 boys) for a local organization that builds bikes for the needy to learn more about how they work. Our first job was to change a tube on a kid's bike. All boys giving suggestions & helping & getting dirty. I take the chain off and .****BAM**** microscopic sliver of metal goes right into my pointer finger. we kept on working but it was deep & very painful. this was before I started the journey toward BFR & recognized the importance of fanny packs.
so every time you feel like laughing at someone w/ a fanny pack, watch out because you never know when one might come in handy!
But what do you keep in your fanny pack? cheers! s/s.
