Survival stuff

[M.T. Pockets]

The last guide I hunted with last fall in the Thorofare was also a wilderness survival instructor in Alaska during the summertime. Our daypacks were similar, and weren't very big or heavy. Most pack way too much and the wrong stuff. If you wear wool clothes you'll stay warm even if you're wet and you don't have to pack extra stuff.

What it comes down to, if you can build a fire under any condition and have (or get) water to drink, you're likely going to survive most anything as long as someone else knows about where you are.

I also like to bring a couple bandanas, they keep your neck warm and they're great to stop bleeding, and as long as you have one left you're never out of toilet paper.
