I'd want to know how to sleep through whatever. Uncomfortable beds of rocks or debris, crazy noises, anything that might distract me in a normal situation. I would want to know how to sleep without putting myself at risk for attack.

I would like to be physically agile - able to outrun and outjump anything that might threaten.

A stash of seeds and a shovel are a must. As well as ample water. I already know all of the edible plants in my biome, and have a couple of reference books on local ethnobotany, but in this area there isn't much edible during the dry months. It would mean considerably less effort on my part to have a water collection system and a healthy bit of soil.

On that note, I'd also want a large length of black hose and a black water basin to act as a basic solar water heater. I hate daily cold showers.
