The Urban B-O-B
This is a bag I made for city to city travel, please feel free to add or subtract items as you want. Let me know what you think and what you would do different. I know someone posted one in the powderkeg or somewhere, that they made for their wife, so input is welcome.

A handgun and ammo are a given for me so they are not on the list, I carry a single stack .45 with one 8rd clip in gun, one 8rd clip on the holster and four extra 7rd clips in a 2 mag double stack pouch. And if im going really far out of town I also bring a 12g 8shot with a 6rd sidesaddle and two 8rd sidesaddles attached to the stock, plus 6 more rds on the tac belt.

My bag is a laptop bag, inconspicous, so as not to draw attention. It has two main compartments and three small compartments that are covered by the flap. I have three surplus compass pouches and a surplus grenade pouch all attached to the strap for quick get to items. When completely full I throw a horse blanket over it and it looks like a junk bag.

You have a bunch of stuff on your list I plan on adding to my b.o.b!

One thing I would add though is TOILET PAPER!

I just folded up about 25-30 sheets of it and put it in a plastic sandwich bag.

Oh, and maybe a small 1oz bottle of liquid soap, dish soap would work great!

I was at wal-mart awhile ago and bought an 8-pack of these dried compacted mini disposable towels. All you have to do is put them in a little water and they rapidly expand! Just something to think about I guess... You can't beat the price either (99 cents for 8 ) (They can be found in the camping section)

I like the idea of using a inconspicuous laptop bag! Good idea!
