@RikerGoogling why wouldn't you need a towel?

@RikerGoogling They are one of the most useful items in the galaxy. They can be used to dry you off when you're wet, they can keep you warm when it's cold, they can be tied into a bag in a pinch, they also give non-hitchhiker's the idea that you've got your act together, and they're more likely to lend you things when you need them.

Really, every hoopy frood carries a towel.
