GoPathyGo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I tend to be prepared for pretty much anything, which is kinda ridiculous given I live near a massive metropolitan area. But I figure if I'm trapped in bad weather on a hill in WV, I better have everything I need for 1-2 days on my own till I'm rescued or a hillbilly hits me on the head with a banjo. All of these can be procured online for $5-$20 each except for the EMT kit (which was so expensive I blotted it out of my mind), the wind'n'go light/radio/cellphone charger ($40), the marine flares (you really only need 2 of these) and the axe (which was a mistake since you can get the same axe at Home Depot pretty darn cheap). Light sticks - 12 Hour Regular & 30-min High Intensity Marine parachute flares (Go up to 1000' high and burn for up to a few mins. Useful if there's a lot of tree cover; walk to the nearest patch of open sky and let em off. But for God's sake do NOT shoot straight up into the trees! ) Reflective safety vest Regular flare gun kit Colored triangle safety markers Emergency reflective sleeping bag Large body warmer and heat pads for sleeping bag 24-hour hand and body heat pads Heatsheet 2-person survival blanket Pocket saw First Responder EMT medical kit + snake bite and wound closure kits Backpackers Axe $15 multi-tool, similar to a swiss army knife Emergency camo tent (depends on where exactly I'm going) Wind'n'go battery-less light, AM/FM/NOAA radio and cellphone charger Push Button Air Horn (for bears, wolves or other hungry things) Triple teargas/pepper spray (the District doesn't like guns) MREs 100' parachute chord Strike anywhere wood matches and a partridge in a pear tree... Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 BTW, when I say you only need 2 of the marine flares, that applies under specific situations. In my case, given I have communications gear, standard flares and so on, the marine flares are backups and I think that for me 2 is enough to give a rescue party time to see me. My pack has 4. The quantity you need will totally depend on your situation. Also, the marine flares typically burn for up to 40 seconds. Meant to write "up to 1000' and more than a few seconds".

GoPathyGo Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 You guys mean on the trail/ trips right? That is a lot of stuff to carry around if it's your daily driver Can't speak for the others but a lot of my items are pretty light and small or fold flat. Got 'em from army surplus and survival stores, which put a premium on portability. I pack pretty much everything into a backpack and leave it in the back. That also allows me to abandon the truck and head for the nearest station in case, God forbid, it becomes necessary to use the pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Re: amount of stuff. Here are a couple of pics of my survival pack. It contains everything in my list above, including a couple of items I probably wouldn't actually leave in the pack. E.g., 4 parachute flares, which are the single heaviest item and which I'd probably use 1 or 2 of before heading out. I keep it secured in the middle of my Pathfinder, so that in case God forbid I'm rear-ended or back into something I don't get a flare up my you-know-what. For reference, the tire in the pic is just over 30". Pack weighs about 25 lbs, would be a bit lighter in an actual situation. Does not include tent, which is a separate item.

Sounds like you have everything you need to wait for someone to save you and not so much for you to save yourself... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoPathyGo Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Sounds like you have everything you need to wait for someone to save you and not so much for you to save yourself... B Ha! I didn't include the tools, winch, recovery straps and so on that I assumed everyone carries. These are basically meant to allow me to trek to the nearest ranger station. The flares and stuff are in case I've broken something and can't really move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87pathy Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 ahhh yes! all the other stuff here is important... but beer can make you forget you are even stuck or stranded.... ignorance is bliss in my mind!!! but in all seriousness. If i'm out, barring a catastrophe (engine, tranny, t-case..) I carry spares and tools to fix anyting on my rig. If i'm out alone or on an exploration adventure.. I carry stuff to cook and sleep with.

adamzan Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) In my truck right now I have some washer fluid, a power inverter, ATF fluid, and booster cables. Oh and a screwdriver in the glovebox. I rarely wheel and I'm always in the city.... I used to carry a socket set but when I was frequently crossing the bored i was told to remove it because it could be considered a weapon.
