Water and sanitation are absolutely key. You can live on canned stuff or even raw oatmeal. But dealing with human excrement and other filth, including dead bodies, and clean drinking water, are the two vital of vitals. That and hordes of feral humanimals.

Quark: Let me tell you something about Hew-mons, Nephew. They're a wonderful, friendly people, as long as their bellies are full and their holosuites are working. But take away their creature comforts, deprive them of food, sleep, sonic showers, put their lives in jeopardy over an extended period of time and those same friendly, intelligent, wonderful people... will become as nasty and as violent as the most bloodthirsty Klingon. You don't believe me? Look at those faces. Look in their eyes.
