3/12/24 SOLSC Day 11
We started thinking about what we are taking, just in case. This list does not include items like rain gear, first aid kits, sunscreen, insect repellent. Yikes. I’d better stop – that’s a different list for another day.
- Engine drive belts (2)
- Oil filter
- Gas filter
- Air cleaner
- Engine oil
- Windshield wiper fluid
- Step motor (a replacement motor for the automatic steps)
- Extra water pump
- Replacement headlight bulbs (still to order)
- Household Batteries
- A couple gallon jugs of fresh water
- Bucket & tools to clean the ginormous windshield
- Rechargeable lanterns
- Tools and more tools
- Fire blanket
- Fire extinguishers
- Telescoping ladder
- Bleach
- Air compressor hose
- Tire fill nozzle
- Dash cams
- Leveling planks
- A pad to lay on the ground when you need to crawl under the camper
Hm. That seems like a lot. What have we forgotten in our quest to be prepared for problems on our travels?
You know that’s what we will need…

Great title! My father would love this. He is Mr. Prepared For Any Eventuality. I love this. I hope to accomplish a Boston Whaler summer version of this: extra spark plugs. Extra oil. Back-up running light, etc. So many things can go wrong on the water, and for years we have dodged calamity just by good luck.

It’s kind of scary when you think about how much we rely on luck!

Your decision to pause one list and start another reminds me so much of my own running lists that we write on our kitchen wall tiles with whiteboard markers. Right now one tile has peanut butter and a new hammer.

You definitely show how much one needs to do to take a trip. Your photo at the end looked especially inviting! Safe travels!

Best to be prepared and not need the things you take rather than need something you don’t have and can’t get quickly and easily.

Exactly!! The only thing I wish we could take and can’t because it’s just too big… is a spare tire.

I shake my head when you write the ironic response to your question…”You know that’s what we will need.” Isn’t that the way it seems to go?

There’s always more than we think we need to pack. (Says the woman with only two kids and a minivan because she overpacks.)
I’m so impressed with how organized you are!

a jump start battery pack, no need for jumper cables with one of those. Have you seen them ?

I haven’t! I’ll have to check into that. You reminded that we do have jumper cables….
