Hey, I’ve been mapping out some of the best edible and medicinal plants around the outpost, and I’m curious—how would you optimize a survival kit if you could only carry plant‑based items?

If you’re going full botanical, strip it down to the essentials and then hoard every extra leaf you can find. First, keep a compact kit of healing herbs: willow bark or salicylic‑rich plant for pain, comfrey or plantain for bruises, a dose of ginger or peppermint to keep the stomach calm, and a handful of echinacea or elderflower for a quick immune boost. Add a few dried nettle or dandelion packets for vitamin‑rich broth when you’re low on calories. Store honey or maple syrup for instant energy and a small stash of wild sunflower or pumpkin seeds—protein and fat in one package. Pack a small bundle of aloe vera or plantain leaves for any burns or cuts. Finally, carry a ridiculous amount of dried leaves and twigs, because you never know when a patch will introduce a new “useful” plant. The logic is simple: maximum utility, minimal weight, and a ridiculous amount of backup just in case the update reclassifies a useless herb as a cure-all.

That kit sounds like a botanist’s dream—compact yet packed with life‑saving power. I love how you’re balancing common herbs with the big‑gains from seeds and honey. Maybe we should add a little worm compost tea to boost the broth’s protein, and a tiny, sterile glass for diluting those nettle or dandelion packs into a quick tonic. Also, a waterproof, lightweight tarp could double as a shade and a drying rack for those fresh herbs on a sunny day. What do you think?
