Eventually, you WILL get attacked by something. And even if you get away, you'll probably get banged up. Some type of medical supplies would be good to carry around. Some suggestions:
* [[Cotton]] is probably the best. Derivatives also work, such as [[string]] and [[cloth tailoring]] items such as [[cloth gloves]], [[sheet of cloth]], even ''[[Cloth_tailoring#Sails | sails]]''. The important factor is the [[QL | Quality Level]], or QL of the item. Also cotton can now be found by [[botanizeForaging]] and [[Botanizing]] at many different types of [[Resource nodes]]d while exploring.* [[Healing cover]]s - Components for healing covers can also be [[Botanizing|botanized]] at [[Resource nodes]], which every character can do without tools.
== Useful Tools ==
* [[Shovel]] - For [[flattening]] & [[digging]] very steep places that are mostly dirt. The idea is just to flatten it so you won't slip, not to flatten to flat. Also if you are close to the water table, but nowhere near water, you can dig down to water. Very useful.
* [[Carving knife]] & [[saw]] - With them you can fashion all the [[Wooden Fencepost fence]] parts (Excluding nails), and other tools such as [[mallet]]s, [[small cart|carts]], etc.
