Thoughts on flight crew cooler bags? Are they a must? Or is it too much?

I have the LW flight bag that has a cooler compartment, room for 2 iPads and a laptop, separate headset pocket and room for everything else

Good afternoon, new job coming up. I’ll be away from home up to 15 days at a time, what would you consider essential for these types of trips? I’m going to be doing laundry at least once during rotation. I’ve worked out the obvious list:

toiletries
several work uniforms
underwear/socks
jacket
small non perishable food items, to minimize expenses.
water bottle
sunscreen
workout clothes
ipad/headphones.
laundry pods

What are a few essential items you never leave home without? Thanks for the input

Thong for the inevitable Vegas layover….. ;)

LW roller

4 packing cubes
1 for Undies and Socks plus swim trunks
1 for Clean clothes for the trip
1 for DIRTY CLOTHES as the build up (it makes a world of difference)
1 for Extra shoes (running or other)
Large Toiletries bag
Shampoo, and essentials (get a dedicated set of everything for the road)
Flip flops tucked into the side pouch for the pool and hotel room
And a Packable hammock for when we get stuck on the plane (popular with the cargo guys)

LW cooler/flight bag (ebay for like $60)
