My creature comfort field items for JRTC

Unfortunately, Jet Boils are expressly forbidden this go-around. Probably because they know that we have no way of purchasing fuel once we're at Polk and that we'll just sneak it onto the plane. Oh well, guess I won't be making fresh coffee for my leadership and the boys

Anyways, I'm anticipating 2 weeks of living out of my ruck, only to be resupplied with MREs and water, so here's what I'm bringing:

  • 99% deet bug spray
  • Permethrin-treated boots and trousers
  • Caffeine pills (100mg ea)
  • Liquid IV (15 ct)
  • Inflatable camping pillow
  • Platypus water filtration system, 3L
  • Folding stool
  • SOG pocket chainsaw
  • Spare boot soles (2ct), absolute gamechanger for dealing with wet boots
  • Powdered bone broth sticks (even without boiling water these smack when you're starving)
  • Full size microfiber towel

What else y'all bringing to the box
