There is a shed at the bottom of my garden that contains a piece of equipment relating to a hobby that no one on this forum is aware I participate in.

What is in the shed?

Oops; I knew I shouldn't have been tempted to guess :roll:

ok, continuing the same theme: I also have a hobby which I believe no-one on this forum is aware I participate in.
When I participate, I take along a bag with several items of the same type in it; What are the items?
