Very interesting! Here's my question: what's the minimum amount of stuff you would need to buy to live for a few months?

I ask this because I work with indigenous groups in Brazil and I'm always impressed with their basic food run: cooking oil, salt, soap and sugar, and rice and coffee if they don't grow it. Plus usually some extra gasoline or diesel, and some fish hooks/line and/or bullets.

Of course, if they have more money, they get more stuff, but I'm curious to know what you see as the "bare necessities".

What do you think are the greatest challenges the field of linguistics is facing today?

What do you think about human echolocation?
