We're not trying to make fun of Larry here !
We're just trying to help him along so he doesn't forget anything.
Even though I've listed a bunch of stuff here are a few more.
Kitchen matches.
Bic lighters, the long end type.
Coleman lanterns at least two old type liquid fuel to draw the bugs off.
Lantern fuel / extra mantles.
Silverware or plastic eating utensils.
Pot to boil shaving water in. (I use my coffee pot for this).
Long John underwear.
Leash (In case he picks up a dog on his trip).
Can opener
Bottle opener
Gray water catch pan.
Portable radio (so they'll know the john is occupied without ripping at
the door.)
