hmm, depends on the launch, I guess.

I rarely, if ever fly locally by myself anymore, if so would take my 'general use' box and toss some pads,etc in a cardboard box, lol .
I tend to use Plano fishing tackle boxes ( I have a couple identical that stack up nice), and a toolbox for my reload 'stuff', plus a few of the clear rubbermaid shoebox / storage boxes for motros,etc.

general use box ( tackle box, always needed) has
igniters ( low and hpr),
wire wrap wire for extending leds (hpr or clusters),
screwdrivers,pens,wire wrap tool, etc,
emery boards, sandpaper ( cleanign clips), spare micro clip set, too
Estes recovery wadding
spare chutes and streamer material
igniter plugs
masking tape
scotch tape ( staging and repairing chutes)
epoxy
needlenose and regular pliers
allen wrenches for motro retainers or the Magnum Inc launch pad
hardware to reload retention
spare quick links
spare batteries
6" ruler, scissors
talc powder for chutes
gotta be something I missed...

second tackle box has all my altimeres/ harnesses / etc for flying HPR

Stack-On toolbox ( Christmas present form my dad years back ) has reload 'stuff' ( small casings, nozzles, grease, snapring pliers, sticks for pushing out liners, can of R/C car motor cleaner spray - works great on reloads,too , alcohol and handi-wipes, craft store organizer boxes inside with sorted spare o-rings, snap rings, etc. and delay kits.

I store my motors in the clear rubbermaid containers - one for black powder, one for single use composite type motors, one for reload kits.

so.. when we head out to a major launch - we actually have a LOT of gear ( all the above, plus the type 4 daybox, and a large ammo box with HPR reload hardware, etc...

whew... now I know why I only fly low to mid power these days, and at launches where pads are club-provided.
