Hi Kev,
Only thing to add that I can think of is a 27+ watt solar panel. More hand
tools are nice.

Subject: [Elecraft] Setting Up Travel Kit
Hi there...
I'm hoping this year I'll see a lot of day/half-day trips, a few overnight
or weekend trips and maybe a week getaway - all with my KX3 of course.
I'm working on progressive grab and go bags depending on the current plan.
So far, for the day/half-day trips I've come up with the following:
Pack #1 (40/20 meters, CW, some digital, some voice, limited DC power)
Bag, AmazonBasics Large DSLR Gadget Bag, Orange Interior
KX3 Radio
Paddles
KX3 allen wrench
KXPD3 allen wrench
Antenna, EF-40/20
Coax, 3’ BNCm RA to PL259
Minilog
Notepad
License
Pen
Pencil
Mason line
Fishing weight
Adapter pack (this-to-that stuff)
Earphones
8x NiMH internal
16x NiMH external
8-cell holder with 5.5x2.1 barrel
I think this is the minimum for a day at the park. It all fits into an easy
to carry bag.
My next step is to come up with a kit that adds to the above and extends
things out for a weekend. I have a 20Ah LiFePO4 (on the way) and will add
an end-fed to cover up to 80 meters along with the Heil headset. This would
be a Field Day kit for instance. More features trading off some
compactness. I'll work on an actual inventory.
The final step - the week getaway - might include a different antenna,
PX-3, KXPA100 if AC available and maybe a computer for better digital
capabilities (wsjt-x, fldigi, dxkeeper).
These are my thoughts so far. They'll probably change with some experience
and advice (hint).
73,
Kev K4VD
