A small survival stash can make a big difference. Keep these ready: Cash for when systems fail. Multitool and small knife for quick fixes. Fire plugs, lighter, or ferro rod for heat and cooking. USB cord to charge what matters. Fishing kit for food. Duct tape and Leukotape for repairs and blisters. Band-Aids for small injuries. Salt, sugar, and honey packets for energy and morale. Safety pins, needle, and thread to repair and improvise. Simple items. Serious value. | Rob Benson
