yea charms and lucky items can be a good moral booster.It can give you the extra boost of fuel you need.

off the top of my head i think i have: the ultimate survival guide by john lofty wiseman, a small inflatable pillow that folds easy(which has multiple uses if you think about ,that i have discovered).
some little packs of sweettarts.all of the above in my bob.
and i always try to carry a cross on me when i can , that and prayer really do wonders for moral.

Thanks to you, I remembered 1 other thing I carry: my medicine pouch (in the Native American tradition). Little things like these do matter to one's morale.

That isn't luxury, that is part of your identity.

Other than my knife? Everything else is pretty much a luxury isn't it?

I suppose I make a short list of absolute essentials and include a firestarter, a water purifier, a bivy, and the clothes on my back. Anything else I can scavange or MacGyver up, more or less. I wouldn't bee too comfortable for a while, but I could get by well enough with that.

Books by Turtledove are necessity (for sanity), not a luxury! <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Photos of wife and kids.

I-pod nano, loaded with John Hiatt, Steve Earle, Warren Zevon, Elvis Costello, and the Stones. I consider this motivational music.
