   1. Most of the times are available in your home and should not require a special purchase.
   2. A special pack is not required but it should be a backpack or vest that can hold all of the items.  An old school book bag will work.
   3. Be creative, most team members use a CD as a signal mirror, there is no need to purchase one for that specific purpose.

   5. Water and Food will be pack just prior to deployment but you will need to show the skills evaluator that you have space to accommodate it.
