Play a flashback with its own inventory and come back to the real one

In a flashback the hero is younger and owns different things. The real bag must wait untouched, nothing from the memory should leak into the present by accident, and the few things that should carry over must do so on purpose. A save in the middle must not lose either bag.

Why this works

A memory is a visit, not a change to the present. Keeping the real bag untouched while the memory plays means nothing leaks by accident, and letting only chosen things come back makes every carried-over object a decision the story made.

When not to use it

Skip it when the past should truly change the present, such as a time-travel game where what you do back then is the point. There the two bags should merge or influence each other openly, not stay sealed apart.
