Have family members send care packages in Tupperware type containers. These can be later re-purposed for stowing clothing and gear in a dust proof container.

Ensure you arrange for a consistent supply of beef jerky (slim jims were my crack), dip, baby wipes, and you brand of cigarettes. These items will ensure life is at least bearable.
If you desire to make life in the feild luxurious bring a small fold camp chair, extra socks, 550 cord, your wobbie, and a few book, a multi fuel campve, and a multitool.
For extra income two to four extra cartons a cigarettes per mail call that ypu can sell.

Zip lock bags and large trash bags. Sand storms will have dust in or on everything from toothpaste to your underwear. Wearing gritty underwear is very uncomfortable.
