Gear, Pants

Ok, I wish I had some quick drying, reversible pants that LOOKED like jeans on one side, like these awesome faded black Levi's I have, AND like black slacks on the other side... and they would have to actually be made by levi's and docker's and like, one piece of fabric, not too... and special cutting edge fabric that is quick dry and stain and wrinkle, microbial resistant, and water drops and other chemicals just roll off it ofc, but still breathable and comfortable!!! and maybe there can be heating coils that can warm up if it's cold outside.

THAT WOULD BE BADASS!!!

and another pair that were khaki and navy on the reverse side.

and i would have a special pocket for my phone charger, probably under my regular right hand side front pocket. and a special pocket on the left, under the regular pocket for my smart phone. so, those two pockets would have zips. and easy to reach while sitting, and can reach while standing without having to fold my arms at all.

would have my wallet in back pocket... and space there on the other pocket... i usually never have anything in those but i guess i could store something... having back up battery might be good too, so could fit that in with the phone probably, same pocket on the front or in the jacket.

on the side of the jeans, next to the zip pocket on the front, there might be space for a small discrete narrow and long pocket for a tooth brush and a shorter one for tooth paste. and another small one like that on the left for a lighter. maybe another pocket for a pen there on the side too, after the others.

probably keep a moleskin in the back right pocket.

all this is kind of complicated, it may be easier to just keep all that stuff in ziplock bags and just throw them into a hip pouch.

this one looks perfect...

I got a purple one for free, i might be able to paint it with fabric paint. all my technical gear fits in there; phone, toiletries, bottle for foot powder, etc. I was able to fit a sleeping bag and my down jacket, a pair of jeans, t shirt, socks, gloves, and scarf in to two medium size duffle bags, so I think a medium or full size bag would be fine... it's just a matter of finding one that doesn't have a bunch of extra pockets, etc...

ofc with having a bag like that comes the trouble of bringing all the stuff everywhere but, short of making make shift shelters there on the spot, there's really no other way to travel, and go hiking and camping without some gear like that.
