Gear, equipment and stuff
O.K. I love gear. Lots and lots of high tech shiny fun stuff. There is tons of stuff to buy; electronics, fancy clothes, high tech food and so on.
But what do you really need?
Many writers devide wht you need into five groups by what you'll use the items for:
1. shelter/clothing
2. heat
3. food/ health
4. signaling
5.
6. tools
(See related post: Knives )
Note: your cell phone is fragile, not waterproof, electrically powered and the cell network is likely to be overloaded or go down in many emergencies. In a similar vein, your GPS system is great, if you have batteries, the manual and some experience in using it.
