Cracked it—I think that’s “BACKPACK”! Couldn’t help but double-check with an old-fashioned pen and paper (some habits die hard). Honestly, my own backpack’s a bit more ancient manuscript than tactical marvel, but it does the trick. I keep a trowel in there most days… probably not quite the essential survival tool they meant, unless you count dueling with overzealous dandelions.
This got me thinking—if there’s ever an emergency and I’m out digging in the yard, at least I’ll be prepared to unearth a potato or two. Anyone else struggle with “essential” items creeping in that aren’t remotely essential? My last inventory turned up a magnifying glass and a hefty ball of twine. Might as well throw in a bookmark for good measure.
Curious if anyone’s actually had to rely on a backpack in a real pinch? Or maybe found a long-lost snack bar from the Bush administration at the bottom?
