Why would you leave to someplace remote, even for just a few hours, without the stuff you might need? 1/2 dozen MRE's, toilet paper, some bottles of water, kitchen match's and storm proof matchs, a come along, a hi lift jack, some log chains, shovel, axe, tool kit, penetrating oil, starting fluid, duct tape, bullets, live in my pickup year round. Often have spare coat gloves socks and bibs too. all that playing around with tarps for tents and plastic emergency blankets is for people who watch to much tv. You packing a mule with you? Try backpacking with all that, lol! Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Snacks lighters knives tp extra socks and maybe a coat along with e blanket and water are in my backpack. How many stories have we all read or heard of someone going for a quick hike which landed up being a survival situation and most of the time they are unprepared even for a quick hike/ walk? Or their vehicle gets stuck or breakdown which turns into a survival situation? Last edited by adam m; 02/16/21 02:17 PM.

Pup tent, waterproof matches, etc. I make waterproof matchs. Learned it in boy scouts. just dip strike anywhere matches in melted paraffin. scrape the wax off the head when your ready tolight one. they burn longer too. Those storm proof matchs you can buy now are sure nice. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.
