    I remember when I did the Baja Texas trail starting from Tecate many many moons ago, a blanket is good enough to act as a tarp when we stop at high noon. Having another blanket around you takes some getting used at first, but later, its okay.

    Buy a kindle and buy a bunch of survival books. Instant one stop survival book library on one device. Although charging a kindle in the woods might be difficult.

    I have a HUGE survival kit. It has almost everything I could need. Books on identifying things, tools, canned and dried food, bottled water, first aid supplies. I started my kit after reading this FREE book that I got.

    I'll pass on giving them my email address. Just a sloppy way to get a mailing list put together. What do you plan on surviving?

    I don't think you are going to get a response...hasn't been around for about 10 years...
    Used to talk about being dropped off and left out in the wilderness...for weeks.
    Maybe he didn't make it.

    He certainly lists a LOT of stuff.......to carry....
    List like that usually are "wish lists"...

    That was a nearly thirteen year old post and it looks like the Feds changed their link. Lists are good to have but dependent upon the person and their needs and the type of problem they are planning for. Still, you have to start somewhere. Thanks for the updated link!
