Miscellaneous Equipment

Miscellaneous equipment should include:

• flashlights (always bring a couple). It's really handy to invest a couple of bucks to get a headlamp, which gives you both hands free for equipment
• lots of extra batteries, for every piece of equipment that uses batteries. Most investigators find out very quickly that investing a little bit in rechargeable batteries and a quickcharger is a very wise move
• a small toolkit
• a watch
• a notebook and a pen or pencils
• a pair of small two-way radios
• duct tape, electrical tape
• a small first aid kit
• something to drink and snack on
• a rainjacket
• lots of film if you're using 35 mm
• extra video cassettes for the videocams
• extra audio cassettes
• extension cords
• cell phone
• a few ziplock bags
