[QUOTE="kcebcj, post: 591082, member: 10391"] I have always looked at it this way. There is only three things you need to do to get along. Stay dry, stay warm and stay hydrated. If you have the necessities to cover the above and a way to see at night everything else is extra weight. Everyone is different but there is no reason in hell to be lost for days. A day and a night in a blowing snow storm maybe.....been there done that. If you get turned around easily you would carry a GPS and mark your trail so if push came to shove you could back track. Most people pack way to much stuff just "incase" but as I said we are all different. Be comfortable and have fun and with experience it will sort itself out. If you're worried about getting a fire started when everything is wet or frozen throw a couple road flares in your pack. You can get them going even if your hands are so cold they don't work well. You can have a good fire in short order. [/QUOTE]
