Our TT is set up for boondocking, so almost everything is essential. We do carry the extra water, food, batteries etc. I'd rather not need it and bring it home than do without.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned is a fire extinguisher. I added another inside the TT and a large one that sits outside in case the fire gets out of hand or worse the TT catches on fire.
On that note, we still bring our 10x20 tent. It serves as a guest house, a much roomier place to be on rainy days and in the worse case a back up to the TT.

I really like the idea of bringing a tent. Great idea! Always best to be prepared for whatever.

Lots of good advice and ideas. We always carry a 12 gauge plastic flare gun pistol. Good for an emergency.
Plus it might work against a bear. We are in British Columbia. Lots of emergency evacuations every year.

I find that a LED backpacking type headlamp is indispensable while camping. I like having both hands free while dealing with nighttime activities/emergencies.

After reading all the post in this thread got to thinking, I grew up in the mountains of N. Georgia and S. Tennessee at my grandfathers place. Ater what most folks are taking boondocking, I must have boondocked until I was about 18 years of age with alot less.![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")
