Always gotta bring a towel with you, until your gear is all waterproof at least… I usually still carry one after that, but have been leaving it in the truck just because I don’t seem to ever need it with the gear I’m wearing. It’s good for if you get slime or whatever on you too.

I bring 2 with me early game, and keep 4 in my car.

Easy to craft, easy to drop and replace.

Carry a folded plastic bag and a few towels everywhere.

P:  
The list of crap I always carry is actually kind of long.

- Skittles for days: aspirin, painkillers, first aid, bandages, eye drops, multivitamins, adrenaline, Dr Stem, cocaine
- 1 molotov and 1 smoke bomb, optional manhacks
- 2 weapons
- some pebbles and a sling
- folded plastic bag
- poncho or umbrella or towels
- rubber hose
- lighter
- thread or splintered wood

amoung other things
