I have many btu the are rotated depdning on where I am going to be and how fat from home
ALways prepared to walk home no matter the distance—I can cover 50+ miles a day for a few days in most circumstances
Hiking boots and usually a second pair of runners on top of what I am wearing at the time—being able to change a few times a day cuts down on blisters and funk
Light but supported backpack, water filter, bottled water, camelback bladder, fixed blade knife, leatherman, pocketknife ( I usually have at least one on me if not two) paracord, space blankets, firestarted +lighters, small tarp, change of hiking pants and shirt, 2+ pairs of wool socks (only kind I wear), extra shirt, heavy wool pendleton shirt jacket, windbreaker, hat, string, med kit with quick clot, moleskin, skin stapler or suture kit, basic pain and other OTC meds, couple boxes of ammo and spare mags, batteries, mirror extra flashlights,cold steel shovel that makes a handy axe, mirror, electrical and duct tape (metal folded) monocular, few other small things—can fit everything but the water into small packs under 15 lbs and usually have at least 1 pistol on me
I’ve hiked tens of thousands of miles with a pack and weight sucks—being mobile and able to walk fast and run for miles as needed is top priority for me
That ‘Cold Steel Shovel’ was a bargain in the Past.... I must have Five and
All Well Sharpened!
