The Unnecessary Necessities

Besides what you physically need to live, what are three things that you cannot live without?

For me?
Cars, guitars, and revolvers.

I love a lifestyle where I can divest myself of as many unnecessary "necessities" as possible quite quickly. A bit of eastern philosophy there. I dislike the idea that I can be 'mastered' simply because I am deprived of some external object.
I even lived a decade without running water to remind myself of the difference between necessities and conveniences!

But right now I think a car (any car), and the combination of my camera and computer to process the images come the closest to "mastering" me -- causing me anguish/grief if they were suddenly taken from me. Almost anything else is a convenience, a luxury.

(A revolver? You mean those things that you put in the pantry so you can access all the spices and cereals without digging?)
