Two comments.

1. No towel listed. A towel is not optional.
2. In cold weather cotton will kill you. Better have a barrier between your skin and the cotton if cotton happens to be your primary go-to for 72 hour clothing.

Agreed.
A towel is quite simply the most useful thing in the universe.

Good thinking. Wool, in case most people are unfamiliar with the fiber, will stay warm even if it is wet, which is why commercial fishermen preferred woolen clothing. (New, high-tech fibers may have replaced wool for the most part, but it's a good thing to know when selecting clothing and blankets for a 72-hr. kit.)
