I have to admit that, yes, I am pimping my blog just a bit here. It has a completely new look as of Monday night, and I'm having a contest to give away a Survival Kit valued at $100. I'd love for a Freeper to win it! Contest runs until midnight on Monday.

Pimping aside, what other unusual must-haves should everyone have?

Tampons in a cardboard tube. Did you know a tampon can be fit snugly into a bullet wound? Guys on the battlefield carry these with them. Honest! I've also heard they're good for kindling.

My ex was an EMT and actually had a gang-banger refuse aid because he did not want a bullet hole plugged with a tampon. They had to turn him loose. I think he later bled out.

Vodka, Vodka, and more Vodka.

So many uses. Disinfectant, water purifier, weapon, fuel, cleanser, etc.

I think those probably fall under “Things You Definitely Thought of First”.

Those are things that everyone thinks of. This is a list of things people may not have thought of.

Too bad. I tried to go to your link, but, as usual, Word Press does not accept my user name and password that I have had for several years. I hate that.

Why on earth would YOU need a user name and password? Strange.

Matches. Lots of matches sealed up in waterproof containers.

For true survival conditions, nothing beats wool.

Inaccurate. Modern pile and fleece are much more effective than wool in damp/wet conditions, besides being considerably lighter.

I’d skip the roll of quarters. When was the last time you saw a pay phone? Plus, there are plenty of rocks in the wild and I don’t have to carry those around.

I also wonder, why would I need a watch in a survival situation?

I don’t know either. I hate Wordpress. Every third or fourth time I go there, it demands my username and then rejects it. I love the picture of you with the rifle over your shoulder!

Don’t forget BARTER.

Alcohol and tobacco have been proven, time again, better than gold in SHTF.
