20 items i wouldn't want to be without

1. car kit: warm clothing (very warm), rain coat and pants- waterproof boots, 4-ply plastic 12x12, waterproof hat, water (1 or 2 gallons), small water purifier, survival candy, survival bread, toilet paper, shovel, good pocket knife, granola, dried fruit.

2. water purifier: look for one that will clean hundreds if not thousands of gallons of water. rebecca likes the "aqua rain" it can be found on the internet.

3. first aid kit: sterilized wraps, scissors, water, blanket, band-aids, cayenne pepper, allergy medicine, aspirin, re-hydration kit, stretchable wrap.

4. survival bread- this lasts forever. keep in car, keep in 72-hour kit. (a recipe is included on this site)

5. yerba mate: a survival herb found in spanish stores. purest form is "rosarita" from argentina. (rebecca said that some storebought version contain caffeine, also if you aren't able to steep into a tea, the leaf can be put under the tongue)

6. pulse: a variety of seeds, grains, legumes that will easily sprout. (there are instructions on this site for swedish limpa)

7. salt: (not store bought)- real salt with 72 minerals. an absolute necessity for survival.

8. sanitation kit: you will still need to use the bathroom even if there is no toilet. this is a must to prepare in advance.

9. wash kit: how will you wash your clothes? (a bucket with a hole in the lid for a toilet plunger could work)

10. dehydrated food: learn to dehydrate your own food. dehydrate items hard so they will last a long time.

11. honey: this is medicinal, if it is raw.

12. wheat: the real wheat kamut or spelt. remember when Brigham Young said there will be no comparison to the value of a bushel of wheat over a bushel of gold. most wheat today has been altered or changed.

13. wonder box: cooking with little heat. it's a slow cooker with no electricity. (instructions and diagram on this site called "bean bag cooker")- i have a pattern that you can trace.

14. 8 hours of heat in a can (instructions on this site, called "emergency stove")

15. personal protection: pepper spray and a whistle. a must for all women. (i imagine that the whistle could come in handy if you got lost in the woods too)

16. toiletries: tooth brush, paste, empty bottle to replace toilet paper and re-usable toilet paper, vinegar, baking soda, colloidal silver, hydrogen peroxide, re-usable sanitary napkins.

17. organic sulfur.

18. money- silver coins (junk silver)

19. shelter (waterproof tent) or 4-ply plastic

20. disposable gloves, masks (N95), aged garlic, anti-plague, re-hydration kit.
