This seems like a lame topic and maybe it is to everybody but me. When I setup in the back yard, I have to travel over 200ft, either winding or unwinding cable. Anything that makes setup easier is worth mentioning.

These orange cable winders have saved me a lot of time.

Don't forget a good surge suppression strip.

You may want some shorter cables as well. Never know how far that blow dryer will have to reach.
