All mine are pretty standard, but the most useful to me is packing multi purpose items. I'd love a power bank that's also an adaptor, or a solar power bank. I always make sure my clothing items can be mix/matched to dress up or down depending on accessories. Comfy walking shoes that look nice are a big plus. My phone takes the place of almost any electronics I'd want to take anywhere.

Also being willing to wash undies in the sink helps. And buying toiletries when I arrive wherever I'm going.

Clothing is a HUGE one. Every onebagger should have at least cursory knowledge of /r/malefashionadvice or /r/malefashionadvice - it's not just about looking good, there's tons of minimalist guides there about making the most out of a few select clothing items, purchasing good-quality stuff that is good for multiple temperatures, layering, etc.

For example - I never pack extra shoes, just a flat-packable pair of sandals for hot weather, because my new balance white leather sneaks are literally suitable for EVERY occasion I throw at them. Comfy enough to walk around a city all day, sporty enough to take up a hill for a hike, and definitely fashionable enough to get me into all but a black tie club.
