[QUOTE="dogdinger, post: 426343, member: 9616"] thought i would throw in my 2cents here....15 yrs of lion hunting in Colo taught me what someone said earlier..."cotton kills" . lose the jeans and find a lightweight pair of wool or fleece pants. Keep your feet dry....wool works best for me here. When you get in a jam it will be when you can least afford the time it takes to build a fire. IE: a slip and fall with a bad break. you will need the easiest way to start a fire. I carry a 1/4 stick of a road flare with the striker end attached. weighs a couple ounces, but by god it will start a fire! Carry a metal canteen or a cup that you can heat water in. A warm drink when you are hypothermic works the best... Carry a few tea bags or instant coffee. I also carry a few feet of aluminum foil folded and some salt and pepper.easy to cook with. Ditto on the ace bandage in the first aid kit. works great for making a splint. ditto on the bivy sack instead of space blankets...same weight for more heat. I would whole lot rather pack a couple extra lbs for the added piece of mind. the boy scout motto comes to mind...."be prepared"...AJ [/QUOTE]
