Welcome and nice kit Sherpadog. Two things come to mind.


My suggestions:

Replace the standard note pad and pen with a Rite n' the Rain note pad and Fisher space pen.

Or, if you're on a tight budget, you can buy the Fisher space pen refill for $5(US). Add a pencil as backup.


Replace all, or at least two, of the teacandles with one UCO Lantern candle (or REI brand, etc). They're 8 hour dripless candles and work really well.
