I understand for hiking.  But in 2023, in an urban settings what in the world are people carrying around that requires the need for a full backpack.

We travel all of the world and have never had the need for any type of bag to go sightseeing, walking, exploring in a city.

I carry medication in my pocket, my Apple Watch, small wallet and nothing else.  DH brings his phone, slim battery back up, small wallet, glasses wipe, tiny flashlight, pepto, small tiny foldable bag which are all in front pants pockets.  Slim battery goes in back pocket. [/quote]

Sounds like your DH could use a backpack to carry everything around for you.[/quote]

The "Pepto" detail has really made this thread come alive.

OP if you are a troll, bravo![/quote]

I am not a troll.

He doesn’t wear, never has worn cargo shorts. The items I listed aren’t big.  I don’t know why everyone makes it out to be a pile of stuff.  The back up charger is about the size of credit card.  The glasses wipes are two little packets equivalent to hand wipes you get at a bbq restaurant.  The flashlight is tiny, about the size of my pinky, only a couple of inches long and has come in handy a few times.  The wallets holds three cards. The pepto is four chewable tablets. We are both adventurous eaters. 
The bag that he brings is a collapsible shopping bag it is about 4”x3” and less than1/2” thick.

If you need pepto with you at all time, you are NOT an adventurous eater. [/quote]

Some people - like me - have a food intolerance and if we inadvertently eat the wrong food that Pepto is a necessity.[/quote]
