RE: Planning a camping trip
Nothing else I can think of from the horses' tack - unless it would be the stirrup leathers and/or reins which they could use to tie or lash things together or perhaps perhaps use to secure JWB's splints if they came undone.
Oh - and don't forget matches ("lucifiers") and you can get "Period" ones from sutlers if you're striving for authenticity. They also had a candle stub which JWB had used to look at his compass while they crossed the Potomac.
I also believe and have read in various reports that Booth also had a pipe and some tobacco on him as well....don't know how accurate this is.
