Something everyone should take around with them everywhere they go is a USB Toolkit, featuring a small number of important applications and tools which fit comfortably in your pocket or on your keychain. Have you got a USB Toolkit, and what have you got on it?
I've divided mine into two directories - Windows apps, and Linux apps. In each of them, I have some basic portable software such as Pidgin (with OTR), a TOR browser, WinRAR, a SSH client, a secure erasing tool and even CCleaner
These tools come in handy when out and about, using public computers or just machines which don't have the basic software which you need.
Et toi?

Anything you use on a daily basis, like a TOR Browser, IM, etc. USB flash drives are so small that you can easily slip them onto your keychain and whenever you find that you need a certain program when you're out of the house, you can stick your USB into the computer and access all your stuff. Extremely handy, especially if you use public machines a lot.
You should make a guide on how to make this dude. I would definitely try making one and using it at school, most of the computers there don't have any AV because they use Deepfreeze. I imagine I could get a lot of data if I found some computers in the lab that hadn't been rebooted in awhile.
I'll give it a shot, although I can't remember exactly where I got the files from as I last did it ages ago. It's really skiddie though, but it can be fun.
As for the TOR browser, I've got a TOR browser bundle which is basically just a folder with a portable version of Firefox with TOR and stuff in there too. It's available on the TOR website for download, it's very handy
I keep a netbook and spare MiFi in my car at all times. If I absolutely have to use someone else's computer, on my keychain I have a bootable 16GB Lexar Firefly flash drive running encrypted Debian v6.0.2 (32-bit) w/ Openbox, Tint2, LibreOffice, Iceweasel, Tor/Vidalia, etc. Uses about 120MB RAM out of the box (including X/Openbox). I keep my active files on Dropbox in an encrypted dm-crypt flatfile container that is sync'ed and mounted as needed.
Fuck Windows...
and the other one has my dox
