....
Since he typically ventures into the wilderness to log, he doesn't have any gil on him. If travelling, he keeps a small bag of gil stashed in the darkest depths of his pack along with one change of clothes. He would also include a bedroll and blanket.
Your list reminds me of what my DnD characters carry around.
For myself.
What... is in your character's bag?
Outside of the cities he carries a fair-sized pack. In it is A loose assortment of tools (small file, chisel, A knife, bent glass for magnification, chalk, coal, sheaf of paper in a roll, spyglass, 6ilm chord with a knot every ilm). Two waterskins. Dodo-tack, raisins and short-bread cookies. Some dried Tea leaves, a mug, an empty Jar or two for specimens and a rope about 20-feet of Hemp.
What do they consider essentials for survival?
The spyglass, and raisins are important, he's used to living on little though.
What are their keepsakes that push them forward?
The sheaf of paper, or specimen jars, when actually containing drawings, writings, objects or critters are nearly invaluable to him.
How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?
He prefers to take small samples and sketch/record anything too large or fragile to disturb.
How much Gil would they carry on their person?
A fair amount, a few hundred, used to requiring the purchase of information from locals about out of the way places to go, as well as feeding his Chocobo.
If they have a chocobo they would haul...?
When bringing his Chocobo along he often attaches a saddle bag to one side and a few cages/bags to the other, in the saddle he'll store a tarp to throw over wherever they choose to settle if it rains, some extra food, water and some extra specimen jars. The bags and cages are for live samples or items for trade.
What kind of things would they leave behind?
He prefers to leave things alone, only taking "discard" or threatened objects that won't last in the wild
