What 5 things would you not leave home without if you were going into hiding, camping, or running away and WHY.

1. A dictionary to look up books.

2. A survival book especially in the woods since my idea of roughing it is a hostel. Actually I love hostels but when it comes to camping I really like indoor plumbing!!!

3. Soap - dr bronner's in lavender is a good all purpose soap.

4. Food seems important as well as water.

5. A flashlight and watch with an alarm on it.

Knitting doesn't seem very practical but if I were to take something in that vein it would

be tatting.
