I was surprised, too, not to see toilet paper, axe or hatchet, bow saw, hammer, feminine hygiene products, and a few others not on the list. I work in maintenance, so the basic hand tools were my first thought. It’s hard to repair anything, clear a road, or build a shelter with your bare hands. I would also add a can of mink oil to the list. It helps waterproof shoes. Might come in handy keeping the feet healthy.

To say nothing of barricading your house against the zombie horde.

And a jumbo thing of 'gold bond' foot powder

Also does a great job keeping the leathers supple on that seldom used piston or pitcher pump so they work better when needed.

Well, ever wonder why we shake hands with the Right Hand?

The Left Hand was referred to as the 'unclean hand'.

Sorry to gross everyone out this morning - but just had to add that historical fact.
