Overview.
Although most, if not all of the items listed here appear in other lists & categories, we think they are important enough to warrant their own category.
We have also included the still-to-do & under-construction items in this list as it is hoped that they will be completed or obtained fairly soon (except possibly the bear spray).
I will add links to reviews and more information ASAP.
Items in “grey” are still to-do.
Items in “mauve” need to be fixed, replaced, or upgraded or we need more.
