Some of the items in any survival kit of strictly for your morale. If sweet'n Low make you feel better psychologically, then that is what you include. My tin includes a few tea bags, sugar, salt, bouillon, and a peppermint candy. Not exactly life sustaining, but it can lift your spirits a bit. My survival tin is an 8 ounce cup, so there will be some tea swilling around a survival campfire if I'm stuck in the woods in an emergency. Dandelion greens are delicious in a bouillon brew, and salt makes frog legs so tasty that I'd be inclined to hunt for more of them. That's why you may include incomprehensible items in your own survival tin.
And I'd consider actually going out and GETTING lost so I could have real sugar in my tea.
