+===== an example =====
+In Blue Highway, the author described his functional gear like this:
+''I had what I needed for now, much of it stowed under the wooden bunk:\\
+sleeping bag and blanket;\\
+Coleman cooler...;\\
+Rubbermaid basin and a plastic gallon jug (the sink);\\
+Sears, Roebuck portable toilet;\\
+Optimus 8R white gas cook stove (hardly bigger than a can of beans);\\
+knapsack of utensils, a pot, a skillet;\\
+U.S. Navy seabag of clothes;\\
+tool kit...\\
+''
+In modern terms this might be:
+[[https://amzn.to/2IvAHkw|{{ https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/41CxHukXjSL._AC_US218_.jpg}}]]
+  * bed platform, sleeping bag
+  * a [[https://amzn.to/2IvAHkw|luci light]]
+  * water for drinking/cooking/hygiene
+  * utensils
+  * a couple change of clothes (especially socks and underwear)
+  * a pee bottle

+If you want to charge phones or a laptop, it is easy to pick up [[https://amzn.to/2Lemg6j|a lithium "power station"]] and charge it when you stop for a sit-down meal, coffee, or anywhere else with an electrical receptical.  This type of unit charges very well from an outlet, ok from solar, and poorly from a ciggy lighter socket unless you are driving.
+A backpack and extension cord come in handy for smaller units; you can put the battery in the backpack and run the extension plug to the wall.  No one needs to know you are charging a pack.
-minimal
+Larger units will be able to power [[electrical:CPAP|CPAP]] and similar devices.
