If we’re only hauling a few items, stick to the basics. First, a lightweight, modular shelter that can be set up quickly – think a tarp with a frame that can be pitched in minutes. Bring a solar panel or a small wind turbine to power the essentials; battery capacity enough for a couple of nights. Water is the big one – a small, sealed reservoir and a filtration system that can handle Martian dust. For food, bring dehydrated meals that only need water to rehydrate; maybe a small hydroponic kit for fresh greens if we have the time to set it up. A multi‑tool that covers cutting, drilling, and repair will keep the gear handy. A headlamp and a reliable flashlight with spare batteries are non‑negotiable. Finally, a compact medical kit and a basic first‑aid manual. That’s it – nothing heavy, just the essentials, and we’re good to weather those dust storms.
