    The sell/trade/giveaway advice is so essential. I can get asking price from folks locally without having to ship and it stays in my camp. Talk is cheap but put it in their hands and you are half way toward getting rid.

    Fantastic list! One simple suggestion I have is to put everything (that will fit) separately in small sandwich or Ziploc bags. This will prevent chalk residue or items rubbing together, will keep quarters easily findable, etc. Never thought of nail clippers! Smart. Thanks, B!

    I clip my nails at home, so I'm ok on the nail clipper. The Air tag is a good idea. I have 6 things in my bag you didn't mention: 1. a Claw or cue holder. 2. an extension (I use an 8" C/F) 3. Chalk! 4. Towel (crying or wiping. Or both) 5. Spare shaft 6. Quarters for coin tables. Great convo starter tho Bryan!

    I wear eye glasses. Just cleaning them with your shirt can cause problems like streaks, smudges and especially scratches. Just like the packaged alcohol wipes I carry lens wipes and/or a lens cloth. It helps when you can see what you’re doing!

    Telescopic bridge. Awesome to use because you don't have to extend it fully. And as for talcum powder, for a short time I tried using it. I would put it in a salt shaker and when i was in a place that served food, the waitress would take it away.

Rapid release Tylenol. Flat tip scuffer for quick at the table use. Loose-leaf reinforcements for drills. Shaft diameter template. Mushrooming tool/shaver. I also attach a leather bag to the outside, designed to hold my phone, AirPods, car keys, instead of leaving them on the table when in a distant room.

    Spare chalk, or does that go without saying. At some point your existing cube (or whatever) will wear out. Last thing you need during a match is having to fiddle with chalk. Break out that new cube (or whatever).

      Check his other video where he explains what is in his bag. Yes, you should always have spare chalk. But if your chalk color isn't a close enough match to the table cloth color, you should make sure to use the house chalk instead. Don't use blue chalk on a tan colored table.

    Get a couple of those dental pick things and put them in a small baggy. When you get older your teeth move a bit causing gaps. Nothing worse for a distraction than having a hunk of that pool hall chicken sandwich stuck between your teeth way in the back where you can't dig it out. Getting old sucks. clippers, dental picks. Might as well throw a Depends in there as well. Advil for when you get that screaming headache. Glasses cleaners so you don't smear your glasses with that burger grease.

    BAND AIDS! Im a wood worker and i get a ton of splinters and cuts every day. Then i leave the woodshop to go play on filthy tables in seedy little dive bars after work each day. I feel disgusted putting my open wounds on those dirty tables. And im sure the other patrons dont want my blood on the table either. So... band aids
