Binocular Language

I need a check list please?
Okay, so in a year or two I plan on going to the Virginia Plains in Nevada to follow the wild horse herd and study their “silent language” so to speak. I’ve always wanted to and by then I’ll have enough money saved up for it!
Anyways, what do I need on my check list? Besides the basic stuff like food, 3 horses (one for riding, two as pack horses), tent, clothes, sunblock, and binoculars. I know I’m missing stuff but not sure what else.
By the way, I’ll be there for probably 20 days. So I know I’ll need more than that!
Thanks!
