What do you keep in your range bag?

I am putting together a range bag for going to the range. Going to be mostly cleaning kit and ammo and stuff.

Curious what you guys have in your range bag and what do you use as a range bag. I use an old camera bag that I had around the house.
 
Midway ran this bag on sale for $29 last year and I snagged one.

Wish I had snagged 2 ... I can load this thing up with more weapons and ammo than I can comfortably carry.

I keep a handfull of disposable ear plugs ... in case I forget my protection, a friend tags along or someone shooting next to me needs a set.

Small jar of Carmex lip balm. The jar seals, where the twist tube melts and the squeeze tube can get crushed.

I bought a cheap multi-tool at Cabelas ... think it was $5 ... has been extremely handy on many occasions.

A shooters towel (stole a diaper from my grand daughter ... clean of course) ... wipe sweat or dry washed hands after loading a dozen mags.

Spray can of Baristol and a Hoppes polishing cloth.
 
It is good to have:
pen and paper
sharpie for marking targets
pre-packaged hand wipes
basic first aid supplies including a trauma dressing
magazine loaders
roll up bench pad
 
Any pistols I will shoot;
Magazines for anything I will shoot that uses them;
Marker for marking holes in paper targets;
Staple gun and extra staples;
Pen and paper for taking notes if needed;
Ear protection;
Sometimes paper plates (for some kinds of shooting);
Deep woods off (seasonal);
Ammunition; and
A Book to read.

Targets, rifles, water and something to munch on are seperate.

The bag is something my sons gave me as a gift. It's got the SIG logo on it. It has one large outside pocket and a kind of paded insert with three slots to put a pistol.
 
cigars, pen, paper, tape, stapler, targets, ear protection, shooting gloves, gun tool kit, cleaning rod, lighter, flashlight, bore sighter, laser.
 
A sharpie, hearing protection, a multi bit screw driver set, eye protection, duct tape and a cleaning rag to give the guns a wipe down afterwards.
