[QUOTE="Bwana Barry, post: 1862847, member: 54530"] In non-dangerous terrain in S Africa, the list will vary, depending on season (extreme cold or extreme heat), the following apart from the few basics - given that one does not get lost for days, which is [B]totally impossible, [/B]as farms / ranches are divided into big fenced camps with tracks which WILL eventually lead you to the vehicle or farm-house etc in a matter of hours: * Water * Four slices of bread with jam or peanut butter I have been"lost" a few times on big farms in Namibia (12000 Ha), but have never had reason to be concerned that my life is threatened - climb a hill and scout. One must actually cater and prepare if something goes wrong physically, so I will add: * Pain killers * A good two-way radio * A [B]good head[/B] lamp * Toilet paper (To [I]also[/I] mark a tree where animal is lying, and on bushes/trees on route to vehicle / road etc (which you can follow back to collect - without getting lost and not knowing the exact spot !!) A few small hand-held flares to use if you have a broken leg whatever... The farmer will always come and look for you after dark..... [/QUOTE]
