Important preppers

So far in reading Prepper writtings it seems a few simple things left out.
In the cupboard and in prep box should be SALT!
It is used in foods for seasoning, drying, coating, preserving.
For medicine it is an emetic, gargle, tooth cleaner, wound rinse.
SODA for many of the same things.
SUGAR, HONEY are also fantastic keepers and also work for foods, preservatives, and medicine.
Black pepper, tobasco, and prepared mustard from the store are fantastic keepers.
From fish in the water to geese in the sky there are many edibles here on earth but
many need a little help to be palatable.
Someone mentioned the common and plentiful cattail as food source, and yes, the
whole plant is an edible but it could use a little seasoning!
A bit of dried onion and garlic with perhaps some dried herbs and spices also help
and many of these help control bugs in body, cupboard, clothing and sleeping bag!
Stored in safe container and weighing only 3-5lbs this would store and carrywith ease.
