Set of drawers I built for the back of my Explorer. Three deep drawers wide with a large flat top that fits across the wheel wells and is carpeted to match the interior. I can fit everything I need for major trips with tripods lying on the floor in front of the drawers. Thats 5 cameras (4x5, medium and 35mm), many lenses and film holders plus tons of accessories. Only when I take lights and luggage do I have to pack anything out of the drawers.

A pair of cargo pants with lots of pockets including one(s) big enough to fit a couple of holders and an extra lens. Convertible is a plus. And I prefer brunette.

A thermos of coffee and a sandwich, because these things can take some time.
A miniature bottle of peppermint schnapps to freshen the breath, should I invite someone under the dark cloth with me to show them how glorious the world can be when observed through a ground glass.

Good hat, good boots, Goretex waterproof trousers. A compass and little card that calculates sunset, sunrise direction..
The electronic compass in my car, showing me all the time in which geographical position I'm heading. Very useful for the mental planning of views for photography. Knowing where you are and where the sun is/will be means knowing what is the good time to return to take pics. Also, being constantly aware of the North/South coordination brings a new dimension into your nature awareness.

I've got the Garmin eTrex Venture HC and besides the GPS factor it tells me the times for sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset. If only it gave me a bearing for those events it would be perfectOriginally Posted by Brian Vuillemenot
