 In addition to those items listed with the {{kbd|i}} command, the hero is assumed to be carrying a wallet or [[purse]] (examinable with the {{kbd|$}} command) and a backpack ("A <foo> crawls out of your backpack!") or knapsack ("Your knapsack cannot accommodate any more items.").
-The wallet and backpack/knapsack are among the more remarkable objects in NetHack, even though so little is said about them that they go unnoticed by many players. They are utterly impervious to [[fire]], [[shock]], [[Erosion|rotting]], [[Curse|cursing]], or any other kind of degradation. Whatever weight they may have is a matter for speculation only, as they can never be dropped. More worrisome, these items cannot be greased to prevent water damage to their contents, as can any other [[Container#Sack|sack]]. However, the backpack can be [[Stealing from shops#Shopkeeper prevention|taken by a shopkeeper]]; mysteriously, the character still has a backpack afterwards.

 The carrying capacity of all containers in NetHack is a subject to inspire much wonder, but the knapsack is perhaps most striking of all containers in this regard: it is capable of holding 52 distinct ''stacks'' of items, without regard to how many items are in each stack. If a player were able to contrive to have 52 distinct versions of, say, scrolls, that would be the complete carrying capacity of the knapsack. But, strength allowing, a player could carry one stack containing 52 copies of a single scroll (of known [[beatitude]]), and still have room in the knapsack for 51 other stacks of items. A most remarkable container!

-Nethack characters can easily light [[lamp]]s and candles, so it is implied they have some way to make fire. Torches shouldn't last a whole game, unless [[you]] carry a large stack or make new ones out of the fat and clothes of slain monsters. [[Tourist]]s may have a gas lighter. [[Archeologist]]s are probably heavy smokers (like all [[fedora]]-wearing Americans in the 30's) and have a lit cigarette in addition to a petrol lighter or matches. Medieval roles like [[Knight]] or [[Samurai]] may have matches or some other chemical way to make fire. [[Caveman|Cavemen]] may have some extra [[flintstone]]s and some dried sponge or mushroom, like the famous caveman [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96tzi Ötzi]. [[Barbarian]]s, who have already invented metal, may have the same kit with an additional fire steel, which makes usage of flintstones much faster. Spellcasters may know some extra fire spell. All in all it's a wonder how characters can light the [[Candelabrum of Invocation]] in one move.

-One of the first skills that any player of [[NetHack]] needs to know is how to use the '''inventory'''.
+In ''[[NetHack]]'', the '''inventory''' is a list of all the [[item]]s that [[you]] are currently carrying. Your inventory can be viewed by pressing {{kbd|i}}.
 Carrying too many items makes you [[burdened]] or worse. Also, you are limited to 52 stacks of objects (corresponding to 26 uppercase and 26 lowercase inventory letters), a quantity of gold (which will occupy a special slot labeled '$' if necessary), and, if you pick one up while your inventory is otherwise full, a [[load stone]] in a special slot labeled '#,' even if you are [[strength|strong]] or the objects all have low [[weight]]. If you find a [[bag]], then you can hold more items.
