Hi All!
My one thing is a binder of all the research I've done prior to
traveling. Before virtually all trips, I gather and digest as much
information (text and graphic), then reduce it to the fewest pages
possible and bind those pages (yes, I have a binding machine) using
plastic spines. Once that's done, I've eliminated the need for most
of the other supporting documentation, aside from maps. Upon
arrival, I have the option of carrying the binder (which weighs only
a few ounces) in my backpack or removing the relevant pages and
keeping them in my pocket. By doing this, I've already familiarized
myself with the venue and can refer to my cheat sheet with minimal
effort as needed.
