Another suggestion might be to get a few other essentials while you are there. I've always found it helps to include a few of the following DIY items:
duct tape - for just about anything that needs to be held together
rope or twine - for bundling things neatly
bleach - for those really nasty clean-up jobs
chain saw - for cutting big chunks into smaller ones
shovel - for getting the soil ready to plant things
