Just interested in what unusual stuff you guys carry for when you're not riding, camping, cooking etc on tour.

I always have a guitar with me, and have even carried mask, snorkle and fins. I love snorkelling

An big umbrella. Which has a role too as a windscreen for when I am cooking.

I'll usually bring a harmonica.

Otherwise, sometimes a little of this, occasionally an aluminum folding chair for comfort, and usually one of these as a mascot

I used to bring a welcome mat to put at the tent entrance. It just made things seem more like home
