I always took a hammock, netting, and lots of wet wipes. If possible a phone

Basically when my company went to the field we took the equivalent of a Walmart with us.

Also a rosarie. I wore one around my neck for my entire tour in Nam. Got out Ok and still say a rosarie every day. MY Catholic faith saw me through that mess. I still have that rosarie but have no idea where my dogtags went. Probably tucked away in a closet somewhere.

A good camera. I took enough photos in Nam in 1970 to fill 7 albums. Many can be seen on "alphaco.us"
