What's In Your Facilitator's Survival Kit?

Thank you for taking the time to participate in this Workshop Research.

Experienced Trainers and Consultants usually have a bag of essential items that they always bring with them. It might be as simple as a small scissors, or paranoid stuff like their own extension cords.

I've seen various lists, in multiple books, and got to thinking:
  
    "I know what I always bring,
      I wonder what other trainers have found useful?"

The survey has 2 sections.

The first section pertains to the "Survival Kit." The selections are multiple choice and there are spaces for you to add things I've missed.

Note there are 3 major questions. So before you add to the "other" boxes look at all the questions first.

The second section collects a few respondent demographics.

All questions are optional.

Any specific identification, like an email address, will not be shared, rented, or sold. Comments, if used in later summaries or descriptions will not be identified, unless you give me specific permission.
