Secure you email address well; with a password you don't use on any other site. They hack an insecure site, they might get your e-mail and password, and can then log in to your e-mail account and use the 'Forgot Password' function to get access to your other sites. They are likely there, among your e-mails. Don't be too quick now to change your e-mail password, you'll have to remember it as well. About password strength (think: e-mail): correct horse battery staple (don't use this as password). Put together longer words from a story in your life that you remember and mix a few strange/uncommon characters in, or at the beginning or end. Wikipedia: List of the most common passwords. Use a Password Manager to generate random passwords to each site. Secure this well, obviously, since it will be the 'key' to all your other sites. Me, I use Bitwarden EU, but I think iPhone/iCloud Passwords would be fine. Look out, so you don't create a US Bitwarden account if you are European (Look for EU vault in small at the bottom of the page if creating a Bitwarden account and when logging into the password vault). 2FA/MFA means two factor or multi factor authentication, meaning one thing more than your password. Most common are time based 6 digit PIN codes (TOTP = Time-based One-Time Password), which are calculated in authenticator apps like Bitwarden EU/US, Google Authenticator and others. A secure key (often as QR code) has to be exchanged between the site and your authenticator app for it to work. Other factors can be text messages to phone, e-mail confirmations or physical keys with complex codes in them. Many sites require you to store backup codes if the TOTP fail, I store them as a Hidden Key under the corresponding site in my password manager. TOTP ^ Yubikeys for securing accounts are recommendable. Your phone number can be used as well, if you're not afraid of loosing your phone or it getting hacked by someone ordering an new SIM card to get access to your number. Me, I don't secure too many sites with Yubikeys, only the ones most important to me, the rest are secured via my password manager. Get two; one for everyday/traveling and one secure/at relative. Modern sites also use Passkeys which you can store in your password manager. They are much more complicated and difficult to hack then email addresses and passwords. Yubikey 5 NFC | Yubikey 5C NFC (what is your need?) Passkeys ^ Phishing attempts; to steal your password(s) via e-mail/text message. Look closely at the link and feel if you trust it. If you click and it redirects you to another site, look at the address and feel if it's to be trusted. They lure you into entering your e-mail address and password on a fake site, collect it or log in to the real one in real-time, and then they get access to your stuff there. Don't fall for that, many enough have. Make a sketch of your accounts and make a design to secure them. Even if it takes weeks, it might be worth it. E-mail and phone cloud account goes first. Close accounts you no longer use and consider before creating new ones, at least use random passwords for them. Update 2026-09-17: Me, I also use the app Adblock Plus on my iPhone to deny loading of fishy ads, javascripts and more. I just noticed Adblock Plus require account creation, they did not have that before. I did manage to run it without. I also use the NoScript Security Suite add-on in Firefox (me I use Firefox ESR, which is more stable). Why not move on from ads to micro payments for content we like? Me, I could easily cough of 0.1 EUR/USD for an article that I like, instead of unconsciously seeing ads that trigger me or is part of a programming program. (Some more details in section 2026-09-03 below)

First Aid Kit; blood stopping, wound tending, plasters (shoe chafes: get shoes that fit Your feet or Compeed?) Flashlight with one AA USB-C rechargeable battery (one is enough for me, adjust to be and see in the dark). Don't shine blinding light or point things in the faces of people when you meet them, that is impolite and they may not like you or the group you represent after that. Multitool in stainless you can open with one hand; plyers, cutter, small tree saw, some screw driver pieces and scissors. Nails need cutting too. Me, I went from nail biting to scissors to nail cutters. Paracord, from a brand, 15m 4mm, so you can lower yourself down from a building one hand at a time by either (1) tying it and leaving it, or (2) put a U around a window post and out. Put something like a pillow for abrasion and perpendicular forces. Use your foot to loop it around the foot (shoe) as supporting strength when lowering down? Loop twice for pause? (don't know if this works). Small reflective loops on things you want to find in the dark. Water in stainless canister and plastic top (for sound), 0.5l Dr Bronners 18-1 Unscented Soap, 60 ml + 240 ml. Long lasting organic shampoo if you need it. Not the smell, the contents. Long lasting unscented deodorant is good if you need it. Not the smell, the contents. Who do you smell for? The one/Those around you that can stand your natural odors? Tend to your food/fluid intakes is good advice. Girls; go ponytails, even tucked inside jackets. Quick drying towels: e.g. N-rit Campack for hands/face (can be hanged on backpack to air dry), and one bath towel of light weight. My hand towel is in orange, also a signal color if needed. Good quality merino for layering. You feel your skin getting cold while wearing something tight, it is probably something synthetic in it. You should feel like it is not draining your body heat away. Cotton, bamboo. There's bamboo underwear too, you'll get used to it in a few days. Anti bacterial properties, and less water usage when produced than cotton. Me, I use norwegian Devold, wool mesh, and double-layered expedition when needed. Loose clothes or air pocketing clothes retain more heat. Air is one of the best insulators there is. PrimaLoft® or Down, make sure it's the best for the ducks or geese. Rubber soles is better for winter, they isolate better. Or stand on something insulating. Winter needs more layers, always keep one stored/packed dry for sleeping, air dry sleeping clothes in morning/sun and use textile bags so you don't trap humidity. One bag for used clothes, and keep dry/moist/used clothes separated. It can rain too, think if different implications; jacket, cap, backpack, pants. Rain cover over the backpack, or all in dry bag flush of extra air inside backpack and carry the extra weight of the watered down bag. You could probably swim a bit with that as well. Switch and dry socks if you walk far. Socks can be dried close to your body while walking and also inside your sleeping bag if it's breathable. Stop ASAP for any felt sting/burn and try to fix it, even if someone else has to stop as well. Even the whole group, that's team thinking. Before starting to walk, skip extra layers, even if you freeze, you will get your heat up after moving 10 minutes and don't need that extra stop. Don't sweat up your insulation clothes, you will regret it during breaks, in the evening and/or during the night. On long journeys, wash salt away from between the butt cheeks, that will burn too much if you walk long enough, i.e. "I don't want to move anymore". Rest when you can, even if it is two minutes. If you're in a group, let one rest at a time, and then keep moving. The more relaxed your body is and the less thinking you have, the less energy you spend (conscious or subconscious). Let your body feel heavy when you are resting it. Lay down on the ground and watch the ceiling or sky if you can. Let Mother Earth and her atmosphere support you, always. All our bodies come from her anyway. A healing hand, even your own, is always useful; caring. Find and plan for small things to enjoy, if you need it. If you want, keep a WHITE textile, handkerchief sized, with you always and never use it, until you know it is time, then maybe visible on your clothes. Sometimes, sleep with it next to you, if you can. One day we will have World Peace. Find a way to tolerate that thought. Find, feel and let go of your emotions, feelings and traumas to enjoy even more of all the things in life. BRACE YOURSELF: There are synthetics that melt in certain warm conditions and blend with the skin, avoid dressing in those.

I have set up my Apple Account to require two Yubikeys (thanks Apple; one for everyday/traveling and one secure/at relative, very good principle so you don't loose your account if one is lost). Security Flaw: I can change my email address on my iPhone SE 2022 (iOS 26.6.1), with only unlock code even though Yubikey is required for login. Meaning: If someone has my iPhone and knows my unlock code (by seeing it/security camming it?), they can change my account e-mail address and I'm superhacked. Moreover: I do hope the setting iCloud.com that enables web login requires Yubikey. I hope this lax security requirement changes. Readable: Me: I use USB-A Yubikeys so I can get to my Password Manager Bitwarden EU on almost any computer in the world if my phone is lost/stolen. That password is comprised of four long words personal to me strung together and Yubikey(s) are required. All other accounts have random unique passwords made with password manager. Swedish Yubico Yubikey for logging in to Password Manager with email/password data stored in Europe, not US, which unlocks random passworded Apple Account to start new iPhone, bank login PIN-code device to log in to Swedbank App, which unlocks swedish digital authentication service Mobilt BankID, which I need to get to mobile operator Telia App, where I can get an eSIM to my replacement iPhone without physical SIM card to get back my ordinary number back up, and never stop moving. Telia also has the best quality of service in Sweden. Quality is often included when paying more than the cheapest. Yubikey 5 NFC | Yubikey 5C NFC About password strength: correct horse battery staple (don't use this as password). Use strong+long(+yubikey) for password manager, which holds passwords for other accounts. They get to your email and they can get to a lot of accounts using the 'Forgot Password' function, so secure that well (i.e. password different from other sites and/or Yubikeys). I use random unique 21 character passwords with A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and !@#$%^&*. Separate random unique passwords at every site makes you waaay less hackable. They hack one site and gets your email+password there, and you have the same to your email account, they can get to your x accounts then (=superhacked). Bitwarden.com: It's waaay to easy to mistakenly create a US account if you're a European citizen. (!!! Look for EU vault in small at bottom of the page when creating an account and when logging into vault) Also lacking migration option US->EU I still believe [2026] (You have to export passwords from US account, import them into EU account and then delete the US account) (I hope your data/passwords were promptly removed from US then, removed from backups, etc). TouchID, my favorite everyday physical button, I always know where it is and it's always 100% successful attempts, and I like that. [Show Negative]
