Just the other day I was at a picnic thing for an organization of which my wife is a member and the stuff I always have with us in the car proved to be useful in many ways - zip-lock bags, rope, tape...we're the folks who are always "prepared" and we like it that way. Most of the stuff in my EDK is literally that - stuff I use almost every day.

As a matter of fact, my freind Joe, upon arriving at the picnic site, asked why I had not yet rigged up a lean-to shelter with hot and cold running water - and I told him that the day was not over yet!
