Useful Lists

I don’t know about you, but making lists can be a very useful way of focussing the mind, if nothing else.  Here are a few examples.  Feel free to suggest ideas for others.  See links at the bottom for other resources. 

Note:  Many of the specialized websites referenced here for such items as long-term storage foods, preparedness, etc., provide a variety of really good lists.  Rather than replicate them here, see the referenced links. 

• A Great Compendium of Lists:  The Big List (at Survival-Center.com)
• The Ten Essentials– The classic list of minimum gear for all off-road outings.  Feel free to augment and improvise as needed.
