Combat effectiveness has been described as being able to "shoot, move, communicate, and support/resupply."
This formula has been around for centuries in different formats and it can be found in the history of the minutemen of the American Revolution, the greatest generation of World War II, and in use by modern combatants of the global war on terror. One does not need to be of military lineage to understand the importance of the first three of these tactics used against threats common in the modern world, but the last one, support/resupply, is often overlooked.
At some point, the supplies you carry will need maintenance or they will need to be replenished. You won't always have the option to return home, which makes field maintenance a necessity. The more capable you are at self-supporting, the longer you can travel away from home and in the field. We've broken down some of the basic gear you should consider packing to keep you and your essential gear supported and resupplied.
"AT SOME POINT, THE SUPPLIES YOU CARRY WILL NEED MAINTENANCE OR THEY WILL NEED TO BE REPLENISHED."
BATTERIES AND CHARGING CABLES
If you're like most of the population, you don't leave home without your wallet, keys, and cellular phone. The minute you unplug your phone from the charger, the battery power is tapped as your phone attempts to pick up cell phone towers, run apps, and keep you happy navigating social media.
