What Would I Carry?

Hmmm...what would I carry? I am currently having a mental debate with myself about what I would carry in my rucksack; one that is between the essence of necessity and desire. For practical purposes, I would bring a can opener, pocket knife, thermal blanket, mosquito repellent, canned food, and water purifying tablets. I would also like to have a spare pair of dry clothes and a warm coat. This coat could be used as a coat, blanket, or pillow. There are so many other things that I think I would need, or purely want to take, but there would most likely be not enough room. The other part to think about is the weight of the pack; I don't want to stuff it to the brim and then have know room for other things, and I would also like to be able to carry it. Out of personal nestalgia, I would bring pictures of my family, my best friends, and my dogs. I would also bring my favorite stuffed animal, Meow. I have had her since I was 5 years old and has come with me everywhere. I would not like to necessarily sleep with her at night, but the thought of having her there would be like my family is still with me. I would also bring my Bible and a journal; both could be used to write down thoughts and different stories from being at war. The Vietnam War was a very significant war in our more modern era. It was really interesting to read this more modern take on war and understand what was going on and how each event impacted them. It really showed that certain things can really help you get through difficult situations, or make them many times worse.
