    25 Must Have Items for Your Survival Hygiene Kit

    Lipstick? I would say lip balm, chapped lips are mighty uncomfortable. I would also add lotion and a hat. I guess your list would depend on if you're constantly on the move or camping. Personally, I'd rather dig a hole than deal with keeping a potty bucket clean and I could do without the deodorant - I rarely use it now.

    Best Practices: 25 Items to Include in Your Survival Hygiene Kit

    Soap (I prefer liquid castile soap)
    Toothpaste
    Toothbrush
    Razor plus some old denim for stropping
    Dental Floss
    Deodorant
    Shampoo
    Conditioner
    Sun Shower also called a Solar Shower (I have this one)
    Baking Soda (can be used as a shampoo substitute or as a toothpaste 50/50 with salt)
    Epsom Salt
    Laundry Soap (I use the DIY version)
    Potty Bucket (5 gallon bucket with seat)
    Kitty Litter or other organic material to use with the potty bucket
    Toilet Paper
    Mobile Washer
    Microfiber cloths to use for washing
    Cotton tea towels to use for drying (these are amazing and not too small for full-body use)
    Hair cutting scissors
    Nail Clippers
    Feminine supplies (if applicable; read more here)
    Diapers (if applicable)
    Comb
    Hand Mirror
    Lipstick (optional)

    I could get by with your list but I would add baking soda. It makes a great toothpaste and, obviously, has a lot of other uses. I would also want some hair doodles to keep my hair tied back but if I were in an on the move situation, I would probably just cut it all off. I also wouldn't need a brush. I rarely use one now.

    Fire, water, shelter and food that you can either hunt and gather. The tools you need for these four needs are about all you need.

    It depends on what situation they're talking about surviving. Most of that list is utter garbage for an actual SHTF scenario, though by all means add it to the 1000 other things these sites suggest you have with you; it'll slow you down long enough for me to outpace you and find a good spot to hide and hunt.

    Lipstick would be good if you had to leave messages of some kind or to doll yourself up to look more helpless. If you have the right shade, it makes a very convincing series of bruises, and people eat that stuff up. Anything to make yourself look pitiable instead of dangerous in the right situation; lulling people into a false sense of security can be its own weapon.

    Of course, I won't need to pretend that I'm pitiable if I'm lugging around a bag of kitty litter and a five-gallon potty bucket.
    Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.

    Trenches and ashes are likely to work just fine if you're not going to stay in an area too terribly long.

    I have to admit, those solar showers are pretty nifty. We've done some primitive camping and I thought about buying one after a particularly miserable encounter with ice cold water.

    small bottle of rubbing alcohol, band aids. Infection can kill, and the odds of infection would be high tromping about the countryside with an open cut. Alot of that stuff isn't necessary, like a bar of soap will work on your hair to. In SHTF, doubt conditioner will be a survival item. Also, some of that stuff you would only use if you are at a defined location like the toilet. So, in that case, unless it's an EMP, I'm good. I have a small solar setup, it's got enough juice to run the washing machine, microwave, refrigerator. Not all at once of course. I wouldn't miss much really, I could still run my refrigerator, computer, and light at night.
