Kelly, Sounds like you have a few good stories to tell....we can swap
sometime! Each person will always personalize what they carry, like I said, as
long as the survival areas are covered.....No list is the "only" right list,
but a few items are essential no matter what. Trisha Jeakell@aol.com wrote:


 

Hey
Trish, thanks for submitting the list of essential items to carry out
there.  I always take sunglasses and carry a bandana.  Bandanas have
multiple purposes...a headband/sweat rag, a filter for water, and once I used
one to wrap around my leg when I had a mountain bike accident and sliced my
leg.  We always carry a first aid kit in case of emergencies, too. 
Once in a remote area of the Grand Canyon ( Soap Creek) a friend sliced her
finger deeply while whittling a stick.  We were able to treat her, but
she still passed out.  The finger remained infection free.  I could
give several accounts of backcountry experiences, but that's enough for
now.  You just never know and should always be prepared.Kelly -
