I really like how the newsletter question makes you stop and rethink your essentials. For me, water purification has always topped the list, right alongside some simple first aid—old habits from growing up on a farm, I suppose! Sometimes I wonder if folks overlook things like sturdy gloves or a bandana, which come in handy for a surprising number of uses. Anyone have a favorite multi-purpose item they can’t live without?
