He keeps going back to the same place, so he knows what's there. He left a locked case there in November when he came home, so he doesn't have to lug sheets, blankets, pillows, towels, etc back with him over and over. He even left a bike there to make getting around the place a bit easier. (If it's still there, and he can locate it!) For the most part, he can purchase most of the basic amenities over there ... plus there are leftover piles of stuff from care packages other people have sent. What I usually send are (1) magazines/stuff to read; (2) fun stuff; and (3) junk food -- non-meltable stuff. (He's not crazy about the Chow Hall food.)
