Stupid shit you can't live without.

Heinz Ketchup. I love me my ketchup...

This. My buddy asked me what I would do when the ketchup ran out, I said I would kill myself. I don't want to live in a world without ketchup.

And tattoos. I always look forward to my next tattoo.

You know you can make ketchup, right?

something along these lines...

And if you have something like tomato powder...

And of course we all have a ton of white vinegar put back... right?

Throw in your favorite spices, and a little sugar... and there you have it. You might want to get your recipe down before SHTF, though.

I'm glad this thread exists, remains me of things to put in my INCH bag.

OT- coke cola and sprite, my recliner, and most of what's listed above.

[Apollo-11]

Ginko Biloba. Everything else... I forget about, if I don't have it!

Diet Pepsi.

Breathe Right strips.

My memory foam pillow. I take it camping, I take it on business trips, I can't function without it.

Frank's hot sauce. Should make even possum taste desirable..

[Lynn LeFey]

Just picked up my first bottle of Franks Original yesterday. I have so far settled on Crystal as my standard pizza improver, but Frank's comes highly recommended. I have about 4 or so other varieties of hot sauce for different occasions (Cholula regular, chili/garlic, and chipoltle, El Yukateca Chipoltle, Sriracha, and Crystal)

Pork rinds or pork cracklings
Low carb Atkins bars
Dental floss and my electric toothbrush
Coffee

I would really miss Mountain Dew Baja Blast.

[Crimson Phoenix]

Imperial Sugar or Heritage Edition Dr. Pepper. Also will miss the internet, having hundreds of books and DVDs at my disposal, and air conditioning. Just went half a week without AC that ended yesterday.

A towel. Seriously. All hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy jokes aside, every time I've NOT had one I've wished I had within two days and the little microfiber pill-towels just don't cut it. Even when I'm at the research station I keep one under my desk or in my backpack. Recently a co-worker spilled coffee which headed towards their laptop. I pulled my towel out of my bag and slapped it between the spill and the computer. They said "Why do you have a towel in your backpack?" to which I replied, given the circumstances, why didn't THEY? They told me "Touche".

I was honored to meet the last person on this planet who actually says "Touche".

In more outdoorsy uses, I always start with a large one, but I'm not above tearing it up as needed. My towel (several of them over the years) have been used for everything from rope-padding for hammocks to emergency floor mats for tents.

Tea! TEATEATEATEATEATEATEATEATEATEATEA....

How can anyone function without a cup of sweet brown bliss first thing in the morning, at dawn, with the fog rolling over everything and the sun just starting to lighten the sky. Blessed breakfast tea. Amen.

In a survival situation, I would have a different list than "every day" demands.

SHTF: caffeine (in any variety) and meat

Normal life: caffeine, a good beer and music

In true Brit style...I agree!

My morning cigarette and Mountain Dew. It has become a ritual damn near. Wake up handle my business, crack open a mountain dew and smoke a cigarette. Its how I start my day since I absolutely cannot stand coffee or energy drinks.

[TacAir]

Interesting lists.

In addition to Imodium, aspirin. Otherwise, have done without most of civilization for days to weeks...but when a headache hits....

I live in fear of a world without real, painless, dentists. Had an abscess under a molar, took a week to get into town to a dentist, another day to get in for treatment. I hate to go in, but when you're hurt'n, wow.

[KSAFFirefighter]

nicotine

Surprisingly enough, when faced with A LOT of life or death problems coming at you really damn fast for multiple days in a row...you forget about nicotine really quick lol.

[HuntingBow96]

I'm going to have to say Energy drinks haha. Any type...

[Lynn LeFey]

Cheez-its.

They're like cheese flavored heroine.

Try eating freeze dried cheddar straight out of the can. It doesn't have the cracker part, but pure cheddar crunchiness om nom nom nom...

Breathe Right Strips - If I don't have those, the wife doesn't sleep. If she doesn't sleep, I don't sleep.
Black pepper
Yerba Mate or a good strong black tea.
Hot sauce - prefer the local Buried Alive variety made with ghost chilis
Toddler wipes - That has been in my pack as a necessity since my first bivouac in basic training.
Clean socks - Read Toddler wipes
Music - Insanity would ensue without it.
THC - I can live without it, but it would make the PAW so much easier to survive and I don't drink.

Oh yeah, and the most important thing in the world,



To me, it is a spice, therefore should be in EVERYTHING!!
