>I've figured out that there's no way I could possibly carry as
many items as they list (I'd be dying from the weight of the
bottles of water alone), and get myself and my cat and my husband
out of the house in ten minutes.
Well, there's your obvious 1st answer; get the cat a
rucksack...
And to add to Jim's lists: Condoms. Not for the obvious. They make
great water carriers, can waterproof anything they'll stretch over
and they'll stretch a loooong way, keep dust out of anything
pipe-like, make great tourniquets... Only limited by your
imagination and take up negligable room and weight.
Also, consider a pencil instead of a pen. They don't dry up, freeze
or leak and write on a much wider range of surfaces than pen
including wet ones.
Finally, a length of gaffa tape. Just make your own mini reel of it
from any suitable core former: a ballpoint case, film can,
whatever. Gaffa will repair ripped clothes, tents, in fact anything
in a pinch.
