‘Jack,
That was my original point, lost on the many.
After I attended Arctic Survival School at Eielson, I got into the habit of taking a fanny pack anytime I was off of my ATV.
Similar to the “Surviving a Cold, Wet Night” thread, I was looking for best practices around the minimal gear you’d take when you leave your ATV, for any reason. And, the logic in the choices for your personal minimalist survival kit.
Per the below, some people missed that point entirely.
If you're going to on ATVs anyway, I would go with a much bigger kit.
In Alaska I saw too many people get separated from their ATV. It certainly doesn't hurt to carry additional survival stuff in their ATV but I also keep enough survival stuff with me (fanny pack) that I can get by for a couple of days should we get separated.
