    Me too. I like to keep an mp3 player loaded with music, and a small New Testament Bible.

    Totally forgot that. I didn't think of it as a "comfort item" as my oldies are required to keep me calm. My oldies are a mandatory psych med. I take my phone or Ipod touch everywhere. I even have a Brunton battery/solar charger I use when camping. Bose headphones rock! So does their bluetooth speaker. Got a Bible app on the phone.

    Sweet tooth?

    As I sit here on the Rio, I killed half a bag of orange slices candy from 7-Eleven .

    As my military brothers know, a warm bed, running toilet and a hot shower are all you need. Everything else is a luxury .

    Alot of people overlook the value of God and good music.

    You overcome anything with enough AC/DC, Two Steps From Hell and Hans Zimmer.

    Also candy and beer.

    Hard Mikes Cherry Lemonade is a great mix of the two.

    Great for barter as well.
