Bare Necessities
Your equipment will make the key difference between "survival" and "exploration". Of course your own mindset, destination and its people really matter - not all that fancy and expensive material - anyhow carrying just about enough of the correct carefully selected gear - fitted to the type of trip - will be key to prolongued joy and being prepared for the unexpected.

Rood op rood = geen nood

Digital Nautical Charts
SeaClear II freeware: http://www.sping.com/seaclear (freeware).With MapCal II tool included in SeaClear, you can calibrate scanned maps and convert them to the lighter WCI format. Scan the maps in A4 parts, stitch them with software such as GIMP and reduce size down to 30 percent, because images larger than 15 MB take too long to load in MapCal (level of detail will be more then sufficient).
