BTW, I would call it that. You need water to live, and if you don't have it on you, you'd better have a way to obtain it. This goes back to the opening premise, and I'll shamelessly quote Mr. Ritter- If it isn't on you, it can't save you. So again, your PSK is just what can't be separated from you, and will be the gear you pin your life on.
