[Island Girl]

Island living is the best. Make sure you inventory your camp and stock up on things to make small repairs.

• Roof goop for leaks
• plumbing supplies such as spare pvc and the purple and brown stuff to clean and glue them together
• toilet paper, paper towels, plastic bags, napkins, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper, bottled water... all winter over nicely. I always refresh the supply of these in the fall so I don't have to worry about them in the spring.
• Hammer, nails, screws, nuts, bolts, rope, twine, stapler and staples, screening, chainsaw, saws, shovels, rakes, water hose repair ends, bungie cords
• battery that accepts cigarette lighter connections, battery operated radio, tv (the power goes out and the electric company cannot go out to islands after dark), candles, matches, flashlights, spare batteries of all sizes.
• Pliers, socket set, fuses or circuit breakers, fire wood or fuel of choice, did I say matches.
• Rain gear (hooded jacket and pants) for the boat when it is raining and for retying the boat in a storm because you did not do a good enough job the first time.
• binoculars... for watching the boats go by.. need at least two pair, sharing is not fun.
• What ever tools you have at home... it is good to have another one at the lake.. hauling these back and forth gets old real fast.
• Paint brushes, magazines, books, games
• Large tray for bringing food outside

That is all I can think of for now.. Happy Islanding
