Anyone actively doing SOTA??

I just getting ready to start doing some summits and am looking for any tips.
My setup is KX2, with external batteries Alpha Antenna Alpha match with a MFJ 1979 stainless 16.5' whip and counterpoise. Depending on the site, 8' painters pole to mount it on. VHF will be a V82 HT along with 5/8 antenna or a measuring tape yagi.
What else do you think I need??
