Kind of like a list of homeowner's must have tools and gadgets but for the cabin dweller. Add as many as you can think of but not things that would only be used several times a year and would just take up cabin space
-Generator
-Solar Panels (if going off-grid)
-A good 16oz hammer

I guess it depends on what you are going to be doing. I keep a job box at my place stocked with basic carpentry tools, supplies like nails, screws, plumbing repair parts, etc. I also keep a chain saw, axe, wedges, table saw, generator, battery charger, jumper cables, and compressor. I have a back hoe that I keep there and it comes in handy as does a spare funky atv and 45 willys jeep.
I keep an old Winchester 94 and an old Iver Johnson shot gun and some ammo as well as cases of shot gun shells in various gauges ( I am a quail hunter).
I have a two burner propane stove and two tanks for it. I also have a wood burner. Of course a couple of dutch ovens and cast iron cookware. I keep a good supply of food there since roads can get washed out with little notice during the monsoon season.
I use coleman dual fuel lanterns for lighting so I keep some gas and mantles handy as well as matches and throw away lighters.
I keep a good supply of batteries and a multi band radio. I also have a sat phone since cell phones don't work out there.
The cabin is always stocked wiith warm bedding, extra clothes and several spare coats.
I have a 50 cal ammo box that is my first aid kit. I painted a white circle with a red cross on both sides so everyone knows what it is. It is always in plain sight. Who knows it may be me that needs the help so I want everyone to kow what it is and where it is.
I even have a little cast iron lawn jockey so I have someone to talk to. He is a quiet fellow.

I have a 500 gal tank up the hill so there is a gravity water supply and outdoor shower. Even though I shut the valve off at the tank and drain the system it requires repair at times. I would rather stock a few fitting and a couple of unopened cans of pvc cement than have a problem 25 miles from town.

Or at least an electric toilet seat.
A small solar panel and storage battery completes the system.
