If you could only bring 5 things with you

Bajagypsy - 9-30-2007 at 02:35 PM

If on your next trip you could only bring 5 items on your next trip down, what would they be? This is my list:

1. Hammock (can be used to sleep or relax in)
2. Tarp (can be used to make a shelter)
3. One of those all in one tools, many different uses
4. fishing rod
5. enough money for beer!

Sirius Radio
Fishing Pole
Beer
Pesos

If someone chose a vehicle or boat as one of their five things, would the fuel needed to operate these items be included, or would it be considered another thing to add to the list?

My old list used to be:
Boat
Bait
Beer
Buffet
and a
Bikini

Now a days the first thing I thought of would be my Gerber tool. The other four items depends on the answer to my question.

The peso's would cover the fuel for any vehicle.

The van takes care of a lot of the camping concerns. I could buy the rest like styrofoam ice chest, souvenir t-shirts, and stuff like that. I guess I'll cook by campfire or buy some Sterno if it is available.

--3 dogs (does that count as 1 item?)
1 cat
-food for the pets
-ATM card
-low sodium chicken broth (because you can't buy ANY chicken broth here, only boullion and yes I could make my own but opening that carton from TJs is SO much easier!)
-and if all the pets count as one item, I'd throw in arugula seeds to plant my own.
-oops, something has to go, must have the XM radio...

1. 5 cases of Bullfrog Superblock waterproof sunscreen
2. Krocodile lure replacements
3. New bathing suits, trunks, and rashguards
4. Cat food and supplies
5. Good hair conditioner

On second thought, scratch #5. I can cut my hair off if it gets too frazzled in the sun and wind, but I need good coffee.
Substitution:

5. Good coffee

Nope, gonna have to get used to the Mexican coffee and not be so picky.
Change that to :

5. Deadwood season 3 dvd's

Hang on. We fall asleep half way through those.
Final change:

5. Printer ink cartridges
