    3 inch 5 pound rating memory foam for your bunk. Aids in a very restful sleep. Plus some of those companies buy the cheapest mattress they can find. The memory foam will make it just like home. Order from Amazon and cut it down to fit your bunk.

    Depending on what the company you will work for will allow, various different cooking appliances are avalible, the size of the inverter you can have will dictate what cooking means you can use. Either way i would keep a couple days to a weeks worth of non-cookable high energy emergency food. Mre's or protein bars, they don't take up much room and you never know when you may need them.

    This may sound a little goofy but in my 1st aid kit is a small bottle of elmers glue, it's great for getting splinters out. A bottle of new skin or crazy glue is good for shallow cuts, stops the bleeding and acts ad a band-aid.

    Water lots of water.
