I needed a little greater length of XLR after I put the microphone stand
up on stage, so I reached into my trusty case and pulled out the one
that I just bought. Perfect - except that they are tied into a tight
bundle with these little nylon ties that can only be cut with a good
scissors. I had no razor blade, no scissors, no nail cutter, nothing. I
ended up going into the audience and asking the ladies who has a
scissors in your purse. Found one. Still wasn't easy.

There is also the SDHC cards, which I record on, but which sometimes run
out. So you reach into your bag and pull one out and learn just what it
takes to get one of those out of its packaging. Now I pre-cut them so
that they stay in the package but can be pulled out easily.

Add Swiss Army Knife (with scissors) to your check list.
