a second box of matches, and an emergency lighter.....

 

I remember one hire boat holiday in the 1970's when  our brew ups were rationed to one at bedtime and one at breakfast on the last day, when we were moored wild with only two matches in the box and no spares.

I once borrowed a hire boat, not realizing that since I had only borrowed it that no one had filled up the water-tank. No water, far worse than no tin opener, probably on a par with no toilet paper, especially with two young children on board and moored up for the night miles from anywhere. Moral of the story, check your water & fuel tank before setting off.
