While I've done a single night in a space blanket, I really want to test what it would be like to have just my cycling clothes, a space blanket, mag firestarter, multi-tool, first aid kit, cordage, tape, snare wire, emergency poncho, whistle, balaclava, iodine tablets, and whatever else is always in my pack (misc. bike tools, tubes, food, etc.). I'm hoping to do it by mid-spring so I can learn from the experience and modify my kit accordingly. In the process, I'm hoping to practice my skills in firestarting, shelter construction, trapping/snare construction, as well as, bringing back my experiences of living without.
