haha! Definitely a must for most of us. I am partial to energy drinks myself.

So number 1, yes a reliable vehicle with adequate range. Always well maintained.

Number 2 for me is REFRIGERATION. I hate stocking, restocking ice so I have a 12V Cooltron Cooler, $10.00 in a garage sale. It holds 42 degrees forever.

Number 3, FOOD. Instant where possible. I’m not a cook and hate kitchens so most of my food is cold. Meats, Breads, Cheeze. Yogurt & Granola. Mac&Cheese, Beans. And a fresh salad every time I pass a grocery store. Some beer, mix, whiskey, OF, Milk. …….. 2L of Water.

Number 4, …. My “stove” is a JetBoil Flash. Thats it. No guests for dinner. I hate cooking.

Number 5, Tools, just the basics. 3/8 Socket Set & Wrenches. A selection of screwdrivers. A few Pliers, a Vise Grips, a Prybar, Body Hammer. Tree Pruners and a Saw. Since my Trailer is wooden, I carry some Deck Screws, a 12V Drill/Driver and a Saw. Plus a few Ratchet Straps. I pack tools which will help after hitting a deer or ??, not parts which might never be needed. And my Jeep has a winch plus all the required recovery gear.

Number 6, A tiny First Aid Kit, Bandaids, Surgical Tape, Tweezers, Scissors. I include Toiletries with this, Soap, Clean Cloth, Towel. AND include my Cell Phone here. I never carry it, it rides in the glove box and is only for emergencies, Just like the VISA and AAA.

Number 7, Maps. I only use paper, no GPS or any other E-Devices. Pen & Paper, Some reading material.

Number 8, HeadLight, FlashLight, and a few mounted LEDS on the trailer.

Number 9, A Chair, sometimes a Lounging Chair too.

Finally, the Trailer. A hardwall TearDrop with a Double Bed and 3 Expedition Bags to layer as needed. Pretty simple Bins for clothing. Outside rear “Kitchen”. And storage for the Jeep Doors.

And thats it. I read some of these MUST HAVE lists and think of Saturday Night Live. Apocalypse NOW. It is like guys are planning a trip to the moon.
