What would you bring in your backpack if you were heading on a TREC?   

Off the top of my head my gut reaction was a life straw, bandages, extra socks, and waterproof matches...but that seems a little survivalist! I would pack Dutch blitz, Spill and spell, and a New York times crossword puzzle book for games! An agonizing decision on books...The English Patient but I also really love Greek Myths, always have. Marks and Spencer Mint Truffle Chocolate bars and Cornflakes Ritter sport bars. Pictures of my family. My dog would likely fit... This is a tough question!
