I have this backpack I always grab when I head out to go wheeling. I have been working on expanding what it is in it, and wanted to hear from others on some good things to include. I know sometimes even when wheeling with friends $h!t happens like you might get stuck in a freak storm and have to wait it out. So far in this backpack I have:
Ponchos, both throw-away and heavier duty.
Small pocket knife, Larger folding knife (w/ small saw)
Multi-Tool, Hobo-Tool
Whistle, Compass, Small Mirror
Small Maglight, Large Maglight
Matches w/waterproof container, Toilet Paper, Zip-lock baggies
Hand Warmers, both instant and solid fuel
Pre-packaged First Aid Kit (threw away cheap band-aids, added heavier duty ones)
Tylenol, Heavy Vinyl Gloves, superglue (forgot it is a 1st aid essential)
cotton balls, Petroleum Gel Lip Balm (can be used as a fire-start aid too)
Canned Meat/Jerky/etc
Energy Bars/Chocolate/etc
Tire Plug Kit, Small spool of wire, Electrical Tape, Wire quick-connects, Fuses
Duck Tape, Zip Ties, JB Quik-Weld, Pair of Mechanix gloves
Heavy duty shoelace, Camp Cord
extra pair of Thermal Socks
Flagging Tape
-More recently added to kit-
Hatchet
Hand powered Chain Saw
Fire Gel
What else is good to add to one?
