Unusual packing items
Vagabonders can be masters of packing methods, as well as knowing which items are absolutely necessary and which can be left behind. Recently, a Lifehacker article (Unusual Items Worth Packing on your Next Vacation) suggests some additional things to consider stashing in your bag before your next big trip.
Some of the items are somewhat old-hat, such as keeping a color copy of your passport in your bag, as well as duct tape. Others, like split key rings to use as locking devices, and baby powder to help get unwanted sand off your feet (see also: shower), may make you think about other uses for common items that are worth adding them to your packing list.
Do you have a tried-and-true unusual item that you always bring along? What is it, and how does it enhance your travel experience?

I take a collapsible (dogs) water bowl to soak my aching feet after a long day walking. They cost a few dollars at the pet store.

Berkshire Concepts Packing Tips
Make A List – The most important thing. If you are not sure what you have already packed you may not realize what you have and have not remembered. Likewise if you just start randomly throwing things in your bag because you “might” need them, you are going to run out of space to soon. The best way to resolve this problem is to make a list. Start early and write things down as you remember them. In addition, check them off as you put them in your bag.
Bring Only Necessities – Knowing what to expect from your destination can help you with this part of packing. If you are going to a tropical climate, you will not need a winter coat, though you may want one sweater in case it is chilly at night. Bring just enough and save room for special treats in your bags on the way home.
Use As Few Bags As Possible And Share With Those You Are Traveling With – If you pack just carry ons, you wont have to worry about your baggage getting lost. However, if you must pack a bag to be checked, see if your friends will split up clothing with you. By doing this, if one bag gets lost, you will both have some clothes.
