Thread: "Oh sh#t" overnight kit

A lot of outdoors people keep/carry a "survival kit", but don't give a lot of thought to its contents. 16Tontovarish has.

Having kids has made me way more thoughtful.

Has anyone had any experience with heating under something like a poncho with a tea light? I hear you all with a fire, but I keep thinking that if its pissing down or I had a rolled ankle it wouldn't be practical.
