In my work backpack, off the top of my head:
20Ah USB battery.
Laptop with charger.
A multi-tool. (Goes into checked bag when flying)
Laptop with charger.
Console cables for various routers and switches.
A thick syringe needle with enclosure (excellent for those tiny reset buttons)
USB serial adapter.
Misc USB cables.
A Ziplock bag of all sorts of SFP modules.
A spare PCIe network card (SFP ports)
A microSD card with SD adapter.
A Linux live USB.
A general purpose USB with nothing in particular on it.
A spare SIM
Passport.
Seaman books from two countries
TWIC.
A plastic fork.
Cup noodles (because arriving hungry late when every eatery has closed sucks)
An extra pair of socks.
EDIT: Forgot power adapters for plugging into US and UK outlets. And a few zip ties.
Only reason why I’ve been to Mississippi was to file the paperwork for that TWIC. I happened to be in Mobile AL for a couple of weeks, and Gulfport happened to have a slot, so I drove there.

… and I suspect no small amount of experience in that backpack as well :)
A TWIC? You must really need to deal with chaos.
