Evacuation Kits--Shelter, Bedding

A shelter and a sleeping bag are not essential, but will make your nights (and rainy days) away from home more pleasant. This list of shelter and bedding items is from the Utah Preppers website [comments are mine]:

--tent
--blankets
--emergency blankets (mylar)
--cloth sheet
--plastic sheet (placed under tent or sleeping bag)
--wool blanket (keeps you warm even when wet)
--sleeping bag
--foam or inflatable pillow (I have used the hood of my down jacket for a pillow)
--foam sleeping pad (to make the ground more comfortable)
--light throw blanket
--tarps
--tent/pack/bag patches
--stuff/compression bags
--nylon line--100'

What other items might you need for shelter or bedding?
