Duplicates of your most important items ALWAYS! I never leave home without 2 guitars, enough strings so I can change them out every 3 nights of playing. I have double the amount of cables required (and have still had to replace some while out there) I bring 2 heads with me along with my pod (just in case) extra tubes, fuses and power cables. As much underwear as you have cause you never know when you are going to have a spare 2 hours to do laundry. (be ultra sweet to housekeeping and they may help you out!) Bring tools to fix your vehicle on the side of the road, I fully believe in Newton's law! It's just common sense, cause when you don't have it.... that is when you will need it the most! guaranteed!
