•Flashlights: There are so many to choose from now a days. Get one that has the most flexibility
in terms of power. Lithium
powered lights provide lots of light, but 123 batteries are not easy to come
by in large quantities while AA and D are. You may or may not want to have a
“headlight” as well.
Again, batteries are a consideration.

•Multi-tool: A Leatherman, Gerber, Swiss Army knife all work. Generally you want something that cuts
cable, strips wire and spreads peanut butter. Some areas will NOT let you take
knives into them. Be prepared to
drop your tools at security check points.

|
•Duct tape: The universal
fix it tool. Try not to use it to
secure cables. Gaffer’s
tape works better because it doesn’t leave a residue that takes forever
to clean and tends to pick up dirt.

|
•Loose wire: This can be anything from small gage wire use to secure
things to heavy gage for connecting to batteries. A little is not bad to have.
|
|
•First aid kit: You should always have one – just in case you
injure yourself or someone around you.
|
|
•Work gloves: You never know when you will need hand protection. Worse comes to worse, you have them
when you discover you forgot your winter gloves.
