Do I bring it ALL on EVERY long hawking trip? Of course not, but at least when I pull out of my driveway for 7 to 20 days on the road, I don't worry whether I've left anything at home.

Does anyone see anything I've missed on my list?

Now that “would” be a buzz kill for sure

CO monitor for vehicle. Mine stays in the vehicle so isn't on my list either!

[DirtHawker]

Bird and dog first aid kit. Possibly booties for the dogs if you do not have those nasty burrs from where you live. Check weight for your scale (had a scale go bad on me one nafa trip).

I left my house in New Mexico Sept 12th. I have 4 birds, i dog and my wife traveling with me. By the time I get back to New Mexico {Nov 6th}, my birds will have spent 19 full days in the trailer and the rest of the time they were in the mews set up in Pa. As soon as I get back to NM, then its time to start getting ready for NAFA. Good thing my birds trailer well.
