Got the mindset, half-way there. Skills and ideas where and how to get the things you need but you currently don't have for some reason. A starter pack is useful but sometimes you get caught without one, anyway.
Besides, I have to think of three people, not just me.
Still, I got my backpack with sleeping bags in it, a couple and the kid is still small enough to fit into one of ours. A fishing line, a suspense cord of some kind, a multi-tool pocket knife, lighters and matchboxes for starting fire...The clothes on our backs, a couple of extra super compact soft synthetic blankets. Raincoats. A dry bag. And, talking about sentimental, I think I still have a thread from the robe of Dalai Lama (a gift from a friend who saw him, I never did) attached to one of the backpack's extra loops.
Basically, if you have a knife, the forest shall provide with lots of other stuff. I still prefer tho have some cords in a pocket. The rest of a ow can be made on the go. Light protective gloves.
The thing I now realize I'm lacking at the moment is really sturdy shoes. I got some too old, still whole, but not keeping water out.
Bang! I'm out of home and on my way and in the evening I realize I forgot my toothbrush. Or IDs. Or any paper money just in case I could still use them to get stuff on the way. And I grew hungry before I caught any fish or any lettuce.
So...I guess it's worth it to practice this s**t every once in a while and learn from your mistakes before it gets real.
You're far more prepared than most, and you've got some good items for sure.
It's certainly worth preparing for things that may happen suddenly; the sad thing is that most don't prepare or have a plan for the most basic of things like injuries and health-events or fires, let alone other things that we know can occur. I think it's irresponsible.
Well, we've been taught that others are responsible for our hardships and solutions should come from above...
That's true enough, I understand what you're alluding to. Well said.
