Clean

Comfort

Let’s be honest we have all heard of this and in one way or another will hear or read on this again.

Basically each stands for something your kit should have. Call it the basic guidelines for making all your kits. Some are metaphoric for example, candle light simply meaning a light source such as a headlamp, flashlight and yes candle.

What I really want to talk about is clean and comfort.

I added those because, women, we all know what happens every month, some of us have it worse than others but we can all agree it sucks. Just imagine how much it would suck more if you are in a survival situation. Trust me men, you can stab yourself in the arm and still not touch the pain and discomfort women have to go through. Of course is not the end of the world (maybe). But it pays to be prepared and have methods for long term use just in case for example cotton rags you can wash and reuse. Men should also pack some of this stuff as they are great for first aid as well as helping a woman in need.

Now for comfort.

Personally I would and could carry 100 lbs of load if it meant I am completely covered comfort included. Like I always tell my cadets “if I could carry a bed I would, if it made sense to bring a sleeping bag I would but for now I settle on blanket on the floor so long as I am warm I am good.” I know I know what do I know about cold sleepless nights. Absolutely nothing. I could sleep on cold tiles during a hurricane and still be comfortable so long as my skin isn’t irritated. I usually wear a lot of clothes(not literally as in an extra layer). What I mean is that I am unique in that I can wear a winter jacket and walk up a hill without sweating. My body does a great job at regulating my body temperature so all I do is move my uniform use it as a blanket and night world. All of you who can’t sleep with clothes on can probably relate. The main point is comfort, whatever you need to comfortable bring it. Especially sleep. Because sleep is a beautiful thing indeed.

Rule #1

Rule

#1

One is none,

Two is one,

Three is plenty,

Four is heavy.

This basically means that whatever you carry in sets of threes or twos. If you only have one of the types of item you will most likely lose it or forget it and have to go without. I added the three and four as they are saying that I made in cadets down in St Lucia to teach my friends how to pack their bag for either a two day camp or two week camp. Three being if it fits take it because it will make your life much easier without weighing you down. (Especially uniforms. They’re big and bulky. You choose three and leave the rest home. So one, for field work, one, for drill and one for PT). Four is basically like carrying dead weight you will most likely never use it and if you do you will most likely forget it. (Best leave that pillow at home guys you have enough to worry about if a survival situation ever occurs.

Notice I said badly not dire. Not everything is the end of the world sometimes we forget that getting stuck in the rain with your electronics or books in your bag, or forgetting your wallet is much more common and just as bad (ok maybe not just as bad but come on guys just imagine your phone dies, its rainy and there is nowhere for you to shelter. Do have coins to use the payphone? Do have a plastic bag to wrap your electronics in?All these question should have been answered before you left the house).
