Wyck's Satchel

What's in Wyck's Satchel you might ask?

His canvas satchel has been with him for years. Originally it looked like the bag to the right - but over time it was 'decorated' and personalized with a black, sharpy marker and given all sorts of odd bits of symbols and such here and there.

Inside the satchel, on any given day he carries a few odds and ends that make one's life on the streets a bit easier. An extra t-shirt or maybe some baby wipes. Since he usually operates close to his Winnebago, he doesn't have to carry too much on his back but he likes to keep himself prepared for any eventuality.

One of his prized possessions and something that he's not often without is the hunting knife that he was given by his grandfather before he left Louisiana.


The hunting knife is usually kept bound in its sheath until he needs it - and is not just for defense. He's used it for all manner of things over the years - from breaking into buildings, digging up roots and even minor surgery.

Since he's usually sketching something - drawing, writing or otherwise being 'scribal', he usually carries a small, 'field' journal in his satchel for all the odds and ends that creep up.

His journal holds everything from sketches of people, maps of the city, things he over hears from one person or another as well as to-do lists, phone numbers and the like. It's literally a catch-all for everything he needs. Every once and a while he might actually let people see into its covers but its difficult to interpret his shorthand.

Another of his favored possessions is the green, malachite egg that his granny used when she healed folks. The egg is about the same size and shape of a normal egg but carved and tumbled smooth to the touch. It's one of his most handy 'lucky charms' as he calls them and is a representation that he uses for all of his healing spells though he has been able to use it to affect the growth of plants.

Once, when he planted a tree in honor of someone that he lost, he used the egg to encourage it's growth by a few years so that he was sure that it would survive.

His Tarot Deck was a gift from a group of 'Street Gypsies' he met in Los Angeles. The deck, an old Rider-Waithe deck that has been around forever, is something that he keeps in case he needs to brew up a bit of witchy-poo vibe with people. They can ignore the malachite egg but when people see the Tarot they immediately start thinking that he can see the future and fly on a broom stick.

Stupid Humans.

Wyck has an uncanny ability to always find the 'right' card to tell whomever it is that's wanting him to read for them

MISCELLANEOUS STUFF

An old military-issue flashlight with ever-full batteries is something that he's found quite handy. Even if he could probably see at night - he would still need something to signal people or illuminate something so that everyone -else- could see it as well.

An old zippo that his granddad carried for years. The zippo has a hart-shape scratched into one side and looks like it has been through a fire; which it had according to his grandfather.

Does there need to be a reason?

50' of 550 Cord. For all those people / things that need tied up.

A tool for almost every occasion.

For every -OTHER- occasion

One-Gallon Ziploc bags are useful for everything from gloves to evidence bags. Having a few rolled up in a side-pouch is always a handy thing to have.

And not that it ever rains or anything - but an emergency poncho is never a bad thing to have in your bag.

Occasionally Wyck will borrow a shower from a friend but when that's not available, these little babies can work wonders. Three or four and you're smelling like you just took a dip in a cucumber, melon, aloe salad - but you're mostly clean...er.

Hours of entertainment or emergency lighting source - you decide.
