I carry condoms, a disposable enema, some illegal fireworks and a foreign language book in case I get shot down.
Seriously though. You can leave most of the gee-whiz stuff at home. Something to write on, a bunch of things to write with (I always lose pens). Some way to navigate (sectional, once you're instrument rated always carry your plates). That's about it. Once you get into the cross country phase there's some other stuff that's good to carry. Stuff like a cell-phone, money and a big thing I always had was toilet paper. There was a guy at our school that didn't carry toilet paper. Lets just say a long cross country at 3 in the morning and a plate full of burritos. His new nickname was "One-Sock" if you catch my drift.
