Suction cup hooks
Suction cup hooks for the showers are handy for dirty clothes, clean clothes, toiletry bag, towel, etc. They stick to the stainless steel shower walls and and are easily removed when leaving.

As far as rude and crude: Well, baby powder is lightweight and works pretty well.

One option is to get a battery pack that you leave on the chargers at the HBC pavilion while you're out walking around. Then, you use the battery pack to charge your phone overnight.

Hey John,
Just go over to the HBC Pavillion at night, bring some snacks, plug in, jawbone with other pilots and your phone will be recharged before you know it.
I also took enough supplemental battery packs to recharge my phone about four times in the (relative) comfort of my tent.

My airplane is ready to go, so I've started packing. One thing I do is put my clothing and linens in a plastic trash bag and use a vacuum cleaner to evacuate the bag. That cuts the volume for those items by half or better. They are easier to get into the baggage area that way. Also, if there is weather along the way or when you get to Oshkosh, your clothes and linens won't get wet.

Pillows are nice. I bought a couple of WalMart specials for $2.50 apiece. Bulky, but fairly light.
Going shopping tonight for in-flight snacks. Looks like four varieties of beef jerky and cheese Pringles will be the staples.

Small generator was my best add. Powers Kureg (coffee and hot water), box fan in tent at night and keeps all electronics charged.

I just bought a Rockpals 300W power station to run my CPAP and charge our phones and tablets. https://www.rockpals.com/products/ro...QaAnykEALw_wcB
I just ran a test using it to power my CPAP and by using a DC adapter cord I was able to get four 7-hour nights out of it. I’m guessing it would have been 2-3 nights had I used the AC plug and the CPAP’s normal power supply. But in any event I estimate that I’ll only have to recharge it at OSH once based upon my test.
