Aside from kit, I would say something to eat and drink out of. But even if you don't have those things, most likely someone will have extra's to loan. You have a tent, so I would bring an extra blanket. It got a little chilly last year. But if you don't have an extra, just drink more rum then you won't feel the cold anyway. If you take special meds, don't forget those and perhaps sun screen. :)

I think you'll find that everyone there will be more than happy to help fill in missing pieces. You'll come across things that you'll put on your must list for next year and for other events. Happens to me every event I attend.

If you're gonna give me a headache, please bring me an aspirin!

It's fairly simple ...what things do you use daily ...once you answer that put it into 17-18th century parlance;

Shelter

Clothes

Shoes

Bedding

Eating utensils

Cooking gear

Food

toilet kit

(toothbrush, paste, razor (for those who shave) towel - washcloth, etc.)

Tools (knife, gun, sword, boarding ax, etc. )

"Beverages"

dogge is right. the stuff they make for babies bottoms is great. heck, in my more athletic days of backpacking on the A.T., i always made sure there was a pack of baby wipes in the same bag as the TP. that stuff and a bit of cream is a life saver on humid days to keep the monkey arse at bay. hmmmm hey jack, is your wee one comin? maybe between she and hamish well have a good supply of antifowlant on hand.

In all seriousness, GOOD INSOLES are an absolute must.

Hear, hear! Nassssty coral rocks everywheres.

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
