This is too funny! I hate having to explain why I NEED a Leatherman New Wave AND a SAK AND a decent fixed blade. I wish my wife could be convinced that emergency preparedness is necessary to life as eating and breathing. I admit that she has improved since hurricanes Rita and Katrina.

Perhaps you could add more to make it a top twenty list. Here's five more:
15. LED vs. Mag-Lite discussions at the dinner table do not induce massive amounts of sighing and eye-rolling.
14. She can start up the charcoal in the Weber without using matches and lighter fluid.
13. She replaces the nearly-expired supplies in your FAK because she was already started to clean up hers.
12. Anything from REI, Sportsman's Warehouse, BassPro World and Cabela's would make great stocking stuffers for the kids at Christmas.
11. You knowingly smile when she says that she would prefer being stranded on a deserted, desolate island with Doug Ritter rather than Brad Pitt.
