[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1862337, member: 63925"] Going any distance where you may pack something out I would strongly recommend trekking poles. They give you 4x4 capability when carrying a load, when you are tired to prevent unnecessary falls, slippery conditions, potential lower leg injuries can be overcome with them, plus can act as shooting sticks in pinch. +1 on whistle that is designed for loudness and some are quite loud. Even when you are hurt you can usually get enough steam to blow it loud enough for someone to locate you. 2 compasses - I've broken one and glad I had backup! Extra batteries Small 5 minute flares can start a fire under ANY condition. I prefer headlamps that have low power settings to save batteries when walking on known 2 tracks or well marked paths. Keeps your hands free to balance better with trekking poles! I'd pick and choose from all the lists provided which are quite good in this thread. [/QUOTE]
