A question for those of you who've owned Alaskans for a spell:
Can you provide an "essentials" list when it comes to tools and other items you simply won't leave home without?
Now, I'm not talking about cups and saucers (although, those just may be critical to your setup!) but rather...
- "I have a set of very specific screw drivers..." or
- "I have fittings and electrical gear..." or
- "I always carry a bottle of hydraulic fluid..."
- etc...
I'd love to get a list going that speaks to both gear "what" and "why"- breaking it all down as follows:
1. MUST HAVE - Simply cannot leave home without these things.
2. Nice to Have - Items that make life much easier when "ooot and a'boot".
3. Luxury (...but I bring it anyway) - Just because I can and I love it.
My ulterior motive should be obvious: I simply don't know what I don't know and am looking for seasoned Alaskaners to help fill in the blank. When I get to the point of my maiden voyage I'd like to be well past the 80/20 rule and honing my gear list instead of running to the local 5&Dime because I've missed something in prep.
Would love to know your thoughts.
