There was a an audio digest a few months back about "what to take" on an
extended trip-- sailing, I think. The basics are first aid gear and
protective clothing and equipment/gear. I will try to locate it for you on
this, my 1st day off in a stretch.

When I took a motrocycle crosscountry a few years ago, I read the list in a
novel *Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance* by Pirsig.

Personally,  I never travel/camp without dental floss and duct tape. With
those two items, almost anything can be accomplished. Ask for details if you
are interested!
