We've discussed first aid. We've discussed tools. Now let's pull it all together. The following are the categories I'm thinking about:

• First aid (we discussed this in another thread).
• Basic hand tools
• Box cutter and replacement blades
• Two flashlights (you can have my D-Cell MAG-LITE when you pry it out of my cold, dead hands).
• Extra batteries for the flashlights
• Clothes appropriate for the situation (I don't think we need a lengthy discussion on this).
• Prescription and OTC medications
• Lip balm
• Kleenex
• Other personal care items including nail care (I don't think we need a lengthy discussion on this either).
• Water
• Edibles such as cracker sandwiches and nutritional supplements
• My sanity
• Bible
• Important papers such as I.D. and insurance information

I'm probably overlooking something. What I want to discuss are what I'm not considering.

Note: I've already read "Listening To Katrenia."
