Since it’s winter, I’ll list the cold weather kit items, which are packed in a red nylon stuff sack to remind me to bring it:

‘”

n”.self::process_list_items(“‘.str_replace(‘
‘, ”, ‘

Esbit tablet stove and four tablets (like the ‘Hammer’s Emberlit, but not nearly as thin and efficient)

(Allegedly wind proof) matches

Bic lighter

Two PowerBars

Two packets of cider mix

Titanium spork (not for survival, but just in case I bring some food that needs it)

MSR Titanium pot, 1 liter

First aid stuff not worth enumerating here, except to highlight the Combat Application Tourniquet (which actually goes in a pack waistbelt pocket) – http://tinyurl.com/mg6qof9

Something I consider vastly superior to every alternative in the event I’m on the ground waiting for a while, the Blizzard Survival Bag

An extremely loud Storm Whistle – http://www.stormwhistles.com

Backup LED flashlight

Backup compass

Backup cellphone battery
