In my day/ditch bag I plan to put everything in a dry/stuff sack... complete change of clothes/sox - small bundle of wood Birch bark Matches/lighter Flare Mylar Blanket Dry shoes What else would you pack? |

For an emergency I'd bring a whole tin of lighter fluid - might not be legal - bring anyway just in case. Big fire maybe better than a flare. Chocolate. (chocolate chips easier to eat when frozen than a bar). |

1. Chemical hand/body warmers 2. Fat wood to start a fire 3. Strike anywhere or Storm Proof matches (these are far easier to deal with when you are shivering than lighters) 4. Something to melt snow in along with a stove to boil water 5. Extra premade food like trail mix or bars. |

Matches, Thermos with hot water- I will add snow to it if I need to stretch it. A serving or two of flaps and some sweets. Neck gaiter, extra mitten liners, and lightweight gloves. Leaving room to shed my wind shell upper if it gets warm. one extra layer for the top if I get cold. Headlamp. aspirin and a few other bandaids. I always travel in wind pants. Map and compass if going places I do not know. Sunglasses and cheaters. Wax and scraper for skies. |
