I'd add sharpening stones.  Being able to put a razor edge on a good knife is invaluable.

A few more items:

Axe & chainsaw, bar & chain oil & extra chains

Tools of all sorts

Knowledge...using your tools, doing projects, developing a troubleshooting and Mr. FixIt skillset

I tried it once; turned out to be basil seed that I was duped into buying from some shady character on ebay. I should have known better when the seller's handle was something like "BillyBobJack's Rare Seeds". My wife has never let me live it down; I had an entire 20 x 20 patch of what I thought was tobacco and ended up being basil. We made so much pesto that year...

I grow some tobacco here in Michigan.  It needs to be started indoors in Feb to have a long enough growing season.  I made a cheap humidor out of OSB for curing.  It's more of a novelty than anything else, but I don't have to buy chew.

The flowers are a pretty pink and purple.  A couple of the neighbors asked what they were and I just shrugged and said "I dunno".  I didn't want my plants harvested for me (I grow them on the south side between the house and the sidewalk)

I think the real question is were you able to get the family cow back?
