What is essential for you on long trips from home?

What do you absolutely have to pack? Please share. (Particularly if you like to go exploring on horseback.)

I pretty much carry everything every tool i could need all the time cause im too lazy to drop stuff. Even have a tent in my inventory at all times.

The only thing im not carrying is really materials.

The "basic" needs I think "everyone" should carry with them when going exploring:

- Tent; since you may require a spawnpoint at some point
- Something to hold water; nothing is worse as running out of stamina and have a low regeneration because you're out of water too.

- Something to hold food; for the same reasons as shown above. Using a lunchbox combines this nicely.

- Pieces of Cloth / Cotton: your #1 healing material and certainly one of the most important items;

- Healing covers; although not immediately needed, quite handy

- Farmer's Salve; to help you patch up those bruises done by troll clubs. ;) 

- Kindling: because there's always the option to warm your food

- shovel, axe, pickaxe, carving knife: you may not need them, but when you don't bring them along you will reget it. Because...... wogic. :)

- Large maul: simply because you'll always run into some old deed that has a fence somewhere you need to bash. Or a mine door.

- (Halter-)rope; because you never know if you return without "saved" animals

- Your standard weapons and armour: because you know..... reasons. :D

What about cooking utensils?

My "always carry":

  • Tools; hatchet, butchering knife, shovel, sickle, carving knife, steel&flint (plus a needle and a whetstone , just because I leave those in my main backpack all the time).
  • First aid satchel (with salve, covers and cotton)
  • 2 Water skins
  • Tent
  • 2 ropes
  • My "standard" weapons and armour
  • shady hat

 

Additional for a trip:

  • Tools; pickaxe, hammer, large maul
  • 2 more ropes
  • Food
  • Additional water
  • studded leather cap 
  • bedroll

 

Regarding water and food, I "live off the land" as much as possible and only use my stores when I must.  I don't normally carry kindling or cooking utensils on a trip.  If I need firewood I gather it, and for cooking I generally only "wrap" when travelling.  I have been considering sticking some cookware etc in my vehicles, though.

I bring a 2nd horse and a cart.. than weight and what I bring isn't an issue.

Since... I can carry way more than my horse can move with, wheels just help you get more done or dragged back if you need cotton/food/water/storage/etc..

 

downside is obviously the speed at which you can move around on a cart.. since hh were made obsolete without Age-Rune-ing or breeding hundreds to have pair/s to put on carts/wagons as pullers..

 

depends what you want more.. to explore and cover more ground or to bring something back from your trip/s

Definitely.  If I am merely "sight-seeing" (in fact, building my mental map) or want to go climb a mountain I will go on horseback.  If I am looking to really explore, I either take a cart or a boat (yes, you can explore quite well in a boat if you are happy to get out and walk/ride when needed).  My vehicles all carry additional water, and usually extra cotton etc so I can stay out longer in hostile country.  

 

Food:  For me when I am away food is basic sustenance.  I only aim for full nutrition at home.

I got the PoL refresh on some of my characters. Combine it with some food in a lunchbox or picknick basket and it's enough to last a while.

Eh... I don't pack anything, I might bring some empty crates else I just go. Like on the fly. Always in a vehicle.

I usually have water in a measuring jug. With some luck there is water in the vehicle also.

I don't think cooking utensils improves their flavour one bit.

  • Fast Horse
  • Knife/fork/cooking pan
  • at least 5kg of cotton
  • Tent (only if I intend to die)
  • Water skin
  • Pretty much every tool you can carry
  • Always at least 1 weapon with LT (for internal wounds or high damage wounds that are not easy to heal with just cotton)

Here is a snippet of my inventory when I'm out and about
Although I don't recommend carrying all this stuff if you're prone to dying or getting lost (at least make sure you have enough karma to recover your body)
