My friend and I were talking about park bags yesterday and it got me thinking about what she brings vs what I bring and what I used to bring.
Growing up we had a huge video camera and huge camera and we went in the end of November so we'd bring jackets and we'd rent a locker mostly due to the very heavy cameras.
Once I was an adult I brought a backpack with a ton of stuff in it.
Over the last 10 years I've gone from giant backpack, to smaller backpack,, to big crossbody, to medium crossbody, and in recent trips I've been taking a fairly small crossbody.
I've definitely found that I bring less and less and less to the point that I'm down to about 10 fairly small items... Phone, portable charger, travel sized wallet (basically a VB zip ID case but this has the added benefit or a small zipper on the back for coins), chap stick, travel sized compact hair brush, travel sized perfume, tiny cosmetic jar with OTC pills, glasses sports security strap for RNRC only, flashlight just in case, and a poncho.
I put sunscreen on before I leave for the parks and I wear a hat, and a jacket if I'm going when its cold and then tie it around my waist.
Compared to what I used to bring like my glasses case, full bottles of OTC pills, sunscreen.... its much less to deal with.
On the other hand my friend still seems to take her whole house lol.
She takes her day to day purse with everything she usually has in it and then puts that into a backpack and puts a number of things that I never see her use in there as well.
Just makes me wonder if others bring more or less than they used to...
