You should also carry a first-aid box with yourself in order to have protection against injuries cuts and others. There should be sanitizers in your bag so that you can maintain your personal hygiene. Some dry foods and sufficient drinks should be carried along. If you are travelling with your colleagues then you have to make sure that they also have the same level of travelling comfort.
