OSMapping swag

This is me starting to draft an inventory for myself and potentially fellow OSMappers. It's been moved off my main user page. I haven't seen anything like this on the wiki yet, but mediawiki's search is "the suck" in my experience. Should this be in an article? Titled "What to take"? "Inventory"? "Swag"? Should it be a mediawiki template that users can embed, personalised, into their own user pages, for their own reference? So many questions.

Notes

I don't mind if anyone gets in and edits or leaves comments in the talk page.

All items are only suggestions. It's a suggested inventory – if you don't own or understand something, just realise that someone else might.

Some items are TODOs — not sure how to lay these out yet.
