Great idea with the Boot CD's, duct-tape and rope, though. not to mention the knowledge of how to use them. I'd say that's the most vital piece of equipment overall! .-= Colin Wright´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/exilelifestyle/~3/GpkjFgQwRhA/" rel="nofollow">For Real, I’m Going to Die on This Bus</a> =-. Good idea, and definitely something I wish I could do, but since I only have one carry-on bag with me, knives are frowned upon at airports!

Great idea with the Boot CD’s, duct-tape and rope, though. not to mention the knowledge of how to use them. I’d say that’s the most vital piece of equipment overall!

At least I don't have to compensate for lost body parts (not yet at least!). Those kids will have an amazing knack for problem solving, I imagine, being travelers from such a young age. I try not to have regrets, but I most certainly wish I would have started to travel earlier, based on what I've learned already. Kudos to you for living the lifestyle that you do! .-= Colin Wright´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/exilelifestyle/~3/GpkjFgQwRhA/" rel="nofollow">For Real, I’m Going to Die on This Bus</a> =-.

These and other 'multi-tools' can go a long way to providing both comfort and flexibility. Boot CD's, duck-tape, rope, and knowledge of how to use them can take you a long way. Be prepared, as Sir Baden-Powell said, "for any old thing". Even MacGyver carried a swiss-army knife, I’d suggest a leatherman because it includes pliers.
