Years back, it was more simple. Food, shelter, and water. But now, as technology, advances and people get stressed out more and more from life getting too complicated, needing manuals for almost everything. What do you guys think the bear necessities are now?

Edit: let’s make a list for fun.

  • Food

  • Shelter

  • Water

  • Internet access

  • email (?)

  • phone number (?) / mobile phone (?)

  • ID 100 points

  • Love

  • Clothing

  • Hygiene and Healthcare

  • Human connection

  • Basic Education

    In an European context:

    • Food, shelter and water.
    • Identity papers.
    • Access to the Internet for essential administrative proceedings, since it’s all getting digitalized really fast. If possible a smartphone with wifi access and access to a way of charging it, if not and in an urban area, public library access.

    You may survive without it but it’s nice to have a (digitized) proof that you’re allowed to be wherever your shelter is, and to be able to renew your ID.
