#24 Knowledge (kinda surprised this isnt up higher on the list 😀 )
Has no weight you can carry as much as you can hold its free via internet, library,trial and error, or each other
definately like this thread, lots of good ones, really liked feminine products lol i was surprised when i first heard how much stuff you can do with a maxi pad. And about the paper plates/cups.......why burn them when you can compost them?

A fixed blade knife. I used to be a folding knife person, and still am to a certain extent, but a survival teacher told me last summer that if he could go into the wilderness with just one thing, it would be a fixed blade knife, preferably one that you can see the blade steel all the way through the handle (can't remember what this is called). The good news is, you can get fixed blade knives for relatively cheap, with good relative durability.

It's called a full tang and I agree. With this one tool you can make anything else you may need to survive. All you need is the knowledge and skills to go along with it.

#25 : Flask (Little morale boost?)
#26 : Ziplock bags (Good to keep things waterproof to a certain extent)
#27 : Hand Sanatizer (Saves from wasting water to wash hands, and can be useful for fire starting)

This list could go on forever. Figured id toss some ideas in there. All of the previous ones are good. SInce its "Little things list" your kinda limited to what you can bring. My favorite is still Toilet Paper though!

#28
Small pill bottle with thread, needle and some buttons/snaps.
Things can get drafty if one/some pop off or a split in pants seams. 😉

#29
Sealed plastic bag with cotton balls rubbed with vaseline in them, for fire starters.

#30
A roll of elastic bandage in case you sprain an ankle or wrist and need that support getting to safety.

Wire, wire, wire. Utility wire is good, picture hanging wire (braided) is great for snares. Dont forget the pliers wih a wire cutter. Hooks, lead weights and fishing line, (also good for some snares and alarms), and Rum.

You and I would get along great Ranger. You'd never have to worry about me drinkin' up your rum and I'd never have to wonder what was happening to my whiskey. 😆

I will drink whiskey also, but only if there is no rum to be had, and the whiskey is offered.

High quality "dry sacks" and good tuperware. These are great to pack all your "little things" in and also serve other purposes.

My extra large dry sack keeps my spare clothes dry n clean, makes a great pillow, can hold and store more water than I can carry, serves as a wash basin, basket, rain barrel, sleeping bag. Im sure there's alot more I could do with it too!

Tuperware keeps my batteries, water tabs, food etc. dry, clean and pest free. They also make fine cups, bowls, plates, and food storage containers.

Its not what you put in your bag that matters, its what you put between your ears.

Just thought of a couple more thingsnot yet mentioned.
A way to sharpen your knives. I pack an oil stone and a small can of 3 in 1 oil. (A little oil can be handy to have for other things too.)

A head lamp. Chances are good that you'll want yout hands free for other things and stuff in your hands has a waybof being dropped. Stick your light to your head.

Sturdy gloves. If you plan to be using your hands as tools, protect them. I have many different gloves for different purposes

Safety glasses. Hard to survive when you're blind. Get em tinted and they double as sun/snow glasses

A pot. (Its kinda a big thing but....) boiling water kills germs; )

Entertainment. Dice and/or cards, A harmonica, a small book etc. If youve gotta hunker down somewhere for a while...

A permanent marker/paint pen... they write on anything, lots of uses.

Disinfectant/antibiotics.

Toothpaste and other hygene products.

Socks! I know it's been mebtioned before but socks are important. I pack carhart extremes. 20+$'s a pair, and worth every penny. moisture control clothing is a must for me.

Boots, gotta be tough, grip well in all conditions and have great ankle support. For my money Red Wings cant be beat. I cant seem to wear out a pair and ive put them through harder conditions than teotwawki would require. Although a steel toe can become cold in the winter despite the best socks. Ive managed -37 snow for 10 hrs with them and my carhart extremes. Yout good if you keep moving. I have hard core -100's should the need arise as well.

And that's all I have to say about that

I'm way late to this thread, but I wanted to clear up a question about carrying gas cans. As long as the gas is in properly approved sealed containers it is just fine. BUT, don't fill them while they're on your vehicle - that is when static can ignite the gas. Take the cans off, fill them, put them back on.

I tried to count the unnumbered items.

48 - Swiss Army Knife with locking blade - small enough to carry in your pocket so there is no excuse to not have it even when travelling. Put it in checked baggage and take it out when you land. The little extras like the can opener, bottle opener and tweezers can be very handy.

49 - Para Cord - strong for general use. Inner strings can be removed from the outer sheath and the inner strings are strong enough to hold tarps or tent lines, make nets, sew, etc. The outer sheath makes good boot laces.

50 - Tin foil - can be wrapped around a stove as a wind screen, wrapped around food that is buried under a fire or laid on the ground beside a fire, shiny pieces can made into fishing lures, folded into a cup to catch water in a solar still.

51 - Heavy Duty Garbage Bags - Extra Large - can be used to keep equipment dry, used for emergency rain gear or shelter, used to make a solar still, used to carry additional material as you acquire it.
