On remote gigs, checklists are your friends.

+2.... I did the same thing last week - forgot a patch cord to
attach the backup recorder. The Radio Shack next door to the
performance site

+3, and...

"Negative" checks are also useful. I have a comprehensive system to
make what needs to go out the door goes out the door, but then as a
last-minute check I'll look at the main storage areas one last time.
Is anything left in stores that should NOT be there, but rather be
part of the kit?

And how mote the actual event differ from the described event. Once upon a
time for a small Messiah I ended up using *all* extra spare thingies tossed
into one of the suitcases on my way out of the door because some cables the
other guy on the ad hoc team for that recording had had problems soldering
.... bridging inserts for a mic channel are difficult. What I really did
wrong was to accept using half my HD24 rig, ie. the soundcraft mixer and
then two R44's instead of the HD24. We ended up connecting the mics directly
to the R44's and just using the Soundcraft as monitor-mixer - this was what
following the flow allowed me to have cables enough for - but got the job
done and ended up with a very good Messiah.

This helps when the kit varies from 2 to 24 trecks, with or without
some sort of interfacing with a PA company, cable plant required for
the venue, etc.

Yes.
