Well heres what I pack for what I think I might need just to make it through a cold wet night. I never leave the truck without my pack. And as I think it was Kute that said "not even to take a crap" I actually take my pack to "crap" cuz the toilet paper is in my pack!
I started carrying a survival kit after a friend of mine jumped out of his truck to try to get a shot at a big buck. We didn't see him for 3 more days. he ended up losing a couple toes on each foot and fought for his life in the hospital for the next couple weeks. He isn't the same man he used to be and never has set foot in the woods again. And that was 11 yrs ago. I have never since that day left the truck without my day pack.
I still have alot to learn about shelters and lightweight clothing and bivy/sleeping bags that are light enough to take in my day pack.

I keep in my pack at all times:
stockingcap
woolsocks/gloves
survival tarp
100ft rope/cord
saw
waterfilter and purifier drops
matches/lighter/newspaper/wax-woodchip discs
flint,wood, magnesium scraper survival tool
asprin/aleeve
bursh trimmers with duct tape wrapprd on each handle
gause
trail marking tape
hand held raido
flashlight
headlamp
extra batteries for all three above
compass
My day pack is a Blacks Creek Alaskan 3200cbi


I'm hoping that with others suggestions I can learn more!!
thanks Chuck
