Ohhh… gaffer’s tape? I’ve not used that. Added.

Luggage scale – Oh yeah, I’m doing that too. Added.

Also, phone recharge cord. Added.

Thank you James!

Excellent article! Nothing much to add, since you pretty much listed out my manifest, but an observation about tape: We’ve found gaffer’s tape (the kind you get at Guitar Center) to be more versatile than duct tape. Often we’re using that kind of tape in temporary situations, and gaffer’s tape comes off cleanly from the convention center’s property. Also, the matte finish and dark color are often less visually distracting.

One more addition for air travel would be a small luggage scale. Unless you obsessively list everything that goes in each piece of luggage (been there), it’s easy to accidentally over-pack one of your pieces for the trip home and get hit with a baggage charge. Of course, the hope is to sell enough stuff that it isn’t a problem!
