#4 – Food & Water
This should seem obvious, but we’re posting it here anyway. Sometimes when we’re packing all the essentials we might forget the basics – food and water!

Packing extra food and water will protect against any emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. The last thing you want is to be stranded somewhere without food or water.
