Sustainability

I would like to use/create a system so that I am no longer using up items that have to be replaced. I know there is that whole subjective thing of what wears out when but I would like to not have to resupply these items if I can. What I would like to be able to do is be resupplied on food but that will change later hopefully. Here is what I am thinking and would like other suggestions. Thanks.

Dr. Bronner's for toothpaste and soap. For toothpaste you can use water fro two minutes and rinse. For soap, I do not know.

Medkit. Mud and other plants from nature. I really don't know then as well as I should but that is where I am going.

Fire. I am getting better at using a hobo wood stove with a knife and firesteel. Burnable items are easy to find most places.

Water. I have been using a bandana and boiling but I am thinking about using another piece of fabric that will filter better and be reusable.

Floss. I guess I can just chew a twig.

Toilet paper. Leaves and other items can be used. I don't won't to use soap or other items because I can't really create soap easily.

Ripstop nylon tape. I really don't know what else I could use instead of this.
