Stupid shit you can't live without.

[AKFTW]

Electric fan: I am a white noise addict. When the hum stops things get too damn quiet....and then the whispers start.

Me too, I have mild tinnitus and when need to sleep with some sort of noise, or I get the ringing all night

[Caenus]

Nizorol shampoo. (for dandruff)

Without it my head gets so itchy I nearly go insane. Had to shave my head in Iraq. I'm one of those guys with a funky shaped skull...I look like a Klingon.

[charlie rain]

toilet paper....

when we were in baghdad, we had two unnecessary canteen pouches because of our issued camelbaks. once was for night vision, the other was for a roll of TP.

[Foxy]

Gloves! I have no idea why but despite the rest of my body staying toasty warm in whatever I'm wearing my hands always end up freezing, reducing my dexterity and generally making me miserable.

And as many have said nicotine, generally in the form of chew, If someone wanted to tear through a building of zombies and rescue the person inside all they would need to do is hide my can of dip and say the person inside had it.

[deltagreen451]

Nutella.

[ForgeCorvus]

Nutella.

Me too.......How the hell could I forget to mention that

[ppfd]

Amazing! Seems like we all enjoy the same pleasures.

Dental floss, I'd tell you who killed the Lindburg baby, where Jimmy Hoffa is and if D.B. Cooper survived just to get my floss!!!!

nicotine

the ultimate cold turkey!

I have no problem quitting.
If I could function without nicotine I'd quit today and never look back.

I was nic free for most of a decade.
If I knew then what I know now I never would have quit.

Huh? You would quit if you could function without it because you have no problem quitting. And you never would have quit in the first place if you knew what? I understand you went through a period of tobacco free life, then you started again. Cool. I just don't understand anything else going on right now.

My chemical dependence on nicotine did not go away with time.
I just got used feeling awful.

[Whiskey]

Gotta have chew and whiskey... at least whiskey I am pretty sure I could figure out in the PAW.

[Krustofski]

I'd have a hard time without coffee and the internet.

Also, a +1 on Q-tips. I once forgot to bring some to scout camp. Ended up improvising with a cotton tshirt over the blunt end of a pencil (careful not to puncture any eardrums, mkay?).

Never would have guessed that Whiskey. I can not drink but I have been thinking about making whiskey. I think it would be a good skill and interesting to do. I believe you are allowed to make a certain amount for personal use. It will be clear due to the lack of aging.

2) Is it legal ?

Probably not. It is only legal in New Zealand, and some European countries turn a blind eye to it, but elsewhere it is illegal, with punishment ranging from fines to imprisonment or floggings. This action against it is usually the result of either religous beliefs (right or wrong), but more generally due to the great revenue base it provides Governements through excise taxes. So if you are going to distil, just be aware of the potential legal ramifications.

very sad state of the country. can't make what George Washington made. the very reason that whiskey is popular is the British embargo of caribbean sugar use to make rum. I've read that if you buy a commercial distiller that they are required to send your name to the ATF and they will come knock on your door just to make sure you aren't distilling evil alcohol.

[Rivers2Gates]

Wouldn't necessarily say it's stupid sh*t, but I'd be missing a big medium rare steak after a few weeks/months/years of eating rice and beans every day....

And God help me without beer or anything I could smoke on to relax after a stressful day of survival...

[ausher]

I broke my droid razer. itll be tough, but i think i can survive till the replacement arrives tomorrow...

[kbilly84]

A good, stiff drink when times get rough.
Coffee and Smokes on the days of the week that end in "y"
Hot shower/Cold rinse when I'm feeling particularly nasty.

Oh yeah, Q tips for me too.

I'd like to think I'm resourceful/prepared to enough to work out alternatives for the first three. But Q-tips? That might suck really bad, really fast.
/scrambles to think of ways to add them to my gear...

As long as I am busy with other things, I don't see myself missing TV or the internets. They're really just a way for me to kill time. Except ZS of course.

[The Commander]

Coffee and Juicy Fruit. I think I should go to Sams Club and get a few cases of Juicy Fruit for the PAW now that I think about it.

[ninja-elbow]

Smokes, "goodies" (like candy), powder for my naughty area.

[kbilly84]

Oh yeah, Definitely powder. That's a must-have

[zombehboy]

nicotine. i can go awhile without it but after a few days i'm dragged the fuck out.

[Mr.Rogers]

I would really miss rock star energy drinks (sugar free) I know I can make it with out them. But they really make mornings so much easier.

[Oneswunk]

Smokes, "goodies" (like candy), powder for my naughty area.

I have a large stock of monkey butt powder (ok maybe a case and a half on hand), I may start PAW if I run out of it.

Civilization or not my boys will be powdered.

[smokinbunta]

COLD beer... i just don't drink liquor much, and it doesn't satisfy my thirst like beer does(i know it doesnt ACTUALLY quench thirst..but the feeling of it)

TP (tho a pretty eccential thing if u ask me..)
