My "bag of holding"? Mostly gear of the climbing. Also food of eating.

Benadryl. My buddy is wildly allergic to bee stings. He left it in my bag of holding one day and it hasn't come out.

It's a well known dungeons and dragons item. Basically a bottomless pit of a bag.

This should be in every first aid kit no matter how small.

A finely aged cliff bar that has been at the bottom of my bag since who knows when.

Emergency TP... as the ol' saying goes, I'd rather have it and not need it, than need it and not have it.

A friend of mine gave me a box of 50 wag bags from when he was in the Marines, always keep one or two in the bag. I've got about 20 left after a couple years so seems like they've done their job.

Not unusual thing but word of warning about using those fruit cups in your bag.  I had those fruit cups with the chia seeds in them on a backcountry splitboarding tour and tamahawked and it burst all up inside my bag....had chia seed goo everywhere.  I could see those being a problem in a climbers bag if you have to hop in a chimney.

Story time! I also had a couple of Clif Bars in the trunk of my car that sat in there for about 8-9 months. One evening I was hungry and just sitting in my car, so I finally got one of the bars and went to eat it. Now it was dark outside, and I did not have the lights on in the car. I took a bite of the Clif Bar, and it was really hard and felt dusty. I realized also that there was something in my teeth, and I pulled it out and it was a bug. Like a winged maggot looking thing. I held the Clif Bar up to the window and saw that the whole thing was infested with dead bugs. I guess there were eggs already in the Clif Bar, because the wrapper wasn’t broken in any other place than where I tore it open. You have all been warned.

Your aggressive use of the partner finder is coming into question

Well that certainly sheds a more noble light on your motives.
