¢Change of clothes
¢Clock/wrist watch
¢Extension cord
•Collapsible chair: Depending on the exercise/event, you may find it is a long day standing.  If you have a collapsible chair, comfort is assured.
•Collapsible table: I am not talking a 4 foot table here, but something small – either a fabric camp table or aluminum camp table.  Sometimes it is nice to have something to write on.  Make sure it is stable enough for your purposes.
•Pizza pan: A steel plate (see Alan’s demo) can be very useful in an emergency, especially if you are assigned to a bus or ambulance made of fibreglass.
•Spare connectors: This is everything from PL-259s to power connectors.  Include a crimp frame and soldering iron if you are expecting to make repairs.
•Change of clothes: If you are going to be out for more than 4 hours, you may want a change of clothes (shorts if you start in long pants, etc.).  Possibly a change of shoes for the drive home.
•Clock: You should always have some sort of time piece with you.  A larger clock may be of use if you are manning net control.
•Extension cord: A short length of extension cord may be of help.  This includes power cords as well as coax (RG-58 on a reel is very useful).
