Limited materials

[bill1]

On the general forums, we've had "if you were limited to 5 flies".
How about, if you were allowed any hooks, varnish, threads, wire and tinsel and say black and ginger wet/dry hackles, what other 5 materials couldn't you be without?
(If this has been done before, let me know and I'll scrub it)

Rabbit Fur
Badger Cock Cape
Honey Dun Cock Cape
Heron herl
Peacock herl

It wouldn't suit me. I need an eighteenth century Campaign chest with every pigeon hole full of plastic, airtight boxes loaded with stuff. Even with that there seems to be more airtight boxes in every drawer of the partners' desk I use as a bench and every horizontal surface in the room seems to have stuff on it too...

I'd fail this test
