Add in a contractor grade plastic trash bag and a zip lock bag of cotton balls dipped in petroleum jelly.

Added to what you have - throw in a few packs of hot cocoa - and everything would fit in her small fanny pack.

But then she would need the smarts to use everything.

The deep woods are not for the simple minded.

I thought about the plastic bag just as I hit post.

Too late. If you are on a spiritual quest gotta get on while the getting on still has daylight....

Still, the plastic bag would have made a nice carrier...for more freaking bags!@!!!

Which would have made a nice barrier to the weather and ground in my little shelter that was stuffed with ground cover and the roof burdened by about three feet of more ground cover.

Oh well. Would have to make a bigger fire without it.

Exhausting...

Re: cotton balls.
Don’t forget to buy some of those little prepackaged
alcohol wipes, they take up little room and are very good
for cleaning cuts etc. I have found them to
be great fire starters, just tear the package open
and they burn with a hot flame.

Be careful though, an alcohol flame is blue and
hard to see.
