For maintaining batteries and checking charge/discharge, I've found this little $60 ammeter (I paid $49 on sale) to be one of those things I don't want to leave home without.

Enough fuel to get back (if able), and a personal locator device (if not).

You are a wise man.
1. Two AGM 6v or Group 27 12v batteries- okay, gotta replace my 12Vs
2. Solar power (100 watts)- don't think I need w/ generators*
3. Propane (2x5 gal tanks)- have 2 15 gal tanks
4. Seven gallon portable water tank- don't have- yet
5. First Aid Kit- check
6. Water Purification Kit- don't have; don't need
7. Saw Zaw (for cutting firewood)- cordless Sawzall on the list
8. Firestarter- check
9. Camera- check
10. Altimeter App- don't need
11. Dump Station Location App- don't need
12. GPS/Maps- maps, yes
13. GPS locator- nope; don't need
* I have asked about this in another topic- to paraphrase- do I need to go solar since I have generator power for charging? Any consensus?
Am I ready? Don't know yet...

What do you use to carry that water? I've been looking for a good solution for transporting additional water.
Thanks.
I carry mine in a 55 gallon food grade plastic drum I bought fo $25. Bought a 12v pump to pump it in to the camer tank.

We can also carry up to 42 gals. of water in addition to the 31 gals. on-board. Not counting our regular meals, we have at least a weeks worth of dry provisions (milk, rice, macaroni, flour, etc.), canned and packaged meals. And Mini Bic lighters everywhere. Wish list: Hi-Lift Jack and a HenWay.

High lift jack- we used to call it something else; can't remember at the moment. Oh yeah- handyman jack! Anyway, VERY reasonable at Harbor Freight. Only thing is- I can't use it on any of my vehicles, and for sure not on my RV. Most of this stuff listed I carry anyway regardless whether I'm boondocking or not.
