Hi everyone.
Based on a minor fall I had and the recent posts by @57jl & @Rusky about their mishaps I've been thinking about the MINIMUN survival contents of my pack. What does everybody carry and how (backpack, belt bag etc) for various trips. If we keep this thread as just a "list & type of trip" I'm hoping this could become a useful resource as I have realized that my pack contents are lacking quite a few basics.
For me on tramping trips (not hunting).
In my day pack:
Survival blanket
PLB stored in an internal pocket inside the main pack with a pink ribbon hanging out to show the location of it in case I'm not the person that needs to set it off.
Lighter & rubber tube
Folding knife
Cable ties for boot/pack repairs etc
5m of Various 3-4mm cord
First Aid kit:
Folding scissors
Pills- Painkillers & anti inflammatory (Tramadol & Voltaren)
Super Glue
Various sizes of dressing pads and band-aids
Roll of 25mm gauze bandage
Roll of 25mm elastic self adhesive tape
Alan.
