Priority Six: Hope

Hope is different for everyone. It can be safety, comfort, companionship, or normalcy. For me it is mainly hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I can work hard and persevere if I know eventually things will get better. This means long term planning. So I want to have what I need in the short term but also have some hope for the long term (so I have gardening tools and seeds in addition to rice and spam). You also want comfort items such as a book, bible, game, coloring book, pictures, beer, tea, or warm shower. Some of these can be dual purpose such as a book about hiking or gardening, survival playing cards, or a novel about survival and perseverance.
