    Luxury/Comfort Items?

    What luxury or comfort items, if any, do you include in your preps? I'm taking about those things that really aren't nessicary, but you have on hand to keep your morale up. I've got a stove top espresso maker, manual burr grinder and espresso beans as part of my bug in/bug out by vehicle kit. It makes me feel good to know I'll still have espresso, at least for a few months if the SHTF.

    Coffee, wine, and some candy.... I have a bit of a sweet tooth.
    In no way do I make any money from anyone related to the firearms industry.

    Coffee and black tea. Lot of good options these days with instant coffee and individual packets. Via from Starbucks and Folgers has several offerings as well, not the Kona Estate coffee I enjoy every morning but it's better than pine needle tea. Hershey bars, hard candy, playing cards, whiskey, vodka, gin, tequila.

    Candy (Chocolate and Smarties), and honestly some MRE entrees. MREs are bad for you, and clog you up, but i personally think some of the newer ones taste great and like real food.
    A Student once said to his master: "You teach me fighting, but you talk about peace. How do you reconcile the two?"
    The master replied: "It is better to be a warrior in a garden than to be a gardener in a war."

    Gear, or rifles are only as good as the user. Even if a rifle is true to an inch at a mile, even if gear is as light as a feather, yet as durable as leather, it is limited by its user. Invest in training.
