Bill,

Thanks, great stuff.
The old list, IMO, should have had Map and Compass together, as the new list does. Then put sunglasses as optional and sunscreen under "First Aid" (how the systems build!) - that leaves room for Emergency Shelter. For months here in the Northeast, insect repellent - for black-flies, mosquitoes, deer flies, and no-see-ums - is a necessity; but that could go under First Aid.

How remarkable, despite technological advances, that seventy+ years yields the same essentials. (Now we just need to add the espresso machine, bottled water, and the barista to make the morning latte...)
