Back when I worked HVAC in the 90's I carried a army green flight line bag. I built it over 10 years using several philosophies.
You can't carry everything, and less is more.
Carry what you need to diagnose 90-95% of issues you expect to run into.
Carry what you need to fix 40-80% of problems. (depends on field and variety of tools needed), if you did 2# correctly you should know exactly what you need to go get to finish the job.
evaluate everything based on cost to carry and possibility of use. Example I carried couple dozen crimp connectors. I didn't need then often, BUT they also cost nothing to carry with no weight and fitting in a tiny side pocket.
FIRST, go take a safety/training course. Get your license and PRACTICE, probably for several years. become proficient in every situation you might face.
Then worry about exploring S.A. or other places in the world.

CotC cooks amazingly in the microwave actually. Leave the husk on, wrap in a wet paper towel. Cook I "think" 2 min per COB. Double check the time, that's the only thing I'm fuzzy on.
So happy he annoyed you off! made my morning! Thank you for for your tears :)
