Handy stuff for pocket cruisers, et al.

We like these compact solar string lights:
MPOWERD Luci string lights
They come in a multi-color version too for more money.

We bought one of these a few years ago, I forgot to post it: a compact pressure cooker (but really very expensive!).

5.7l isn’t that small. 2l & 3l is small.

Mine is some plastic containers they sell at a restaurant supply/grocery store chain we have around here called Smart and Final. I got some to put dry food in but now I am putting tools, spare parts, repair supplies, first aid supplies, emergency equipment... just about everything, in them. They have large openings, screw tops, air tight/waterproof, pretty tough, clear and being cube shaped make good use of storage space and they come in three sizes. (Of course you can throw in some rice or something to absorb condensation if needed.) I have no stock in the company but maybe I should. Ok your turn...

We use Lok in Loc containers for much the same reason, we as well store everything from playing cards to extra gloves and prescription and over the counter drugs etc in zip lock bags,

As mentioned above, we too are Origo stove users, our OEM gimbaled two burner is awesome, we use an Omnia stove top oven to bake every thing that we would on land, highly recommend.

Fair winds,

Regarding things with multiple uses, ditch the barrier cream and and hand cleaner, and use your SPF 30 or 50. Keeps the grease off as well as the UV! Two less bottles to carry!

For all kinds of rough work, I like Grease Monkey brand gloves - they are a bit thicker and have a longer cuff. Now I'm older my hands are a lot more sensitive and I have practically worn out my fingerprints!

I use the venom steel. Customer gave me 5 boxes after I did a repair on his Crowther kraken tri.

Great to see yet another person attempting serious cruising in a pocket yacht! Congratulations.
I moved up some years ago from a 20 foot plywood Jarcat 6 and a longest cruise of 5 weeks to a monster but still completely trailerable Imexus 28 with most of the luxuries of a much larger cruising yacht but still remaining completely trailerable.
We have recently completed a nearly 9 week liveaboard cruise with one return for resupply (mostly water and alcohol!) and are gearing up for a 3/4 month cruise without the ability to conventionally resupply.
Easier being on a much larger yacht and only for a couple but a significant challenge regardless.
On my Jarcat 6 most of my systems were based on backpacking and tent camping whilst on the Imexus 28 most are small to minimum sized full cruising yacht systems.
