    Safety gear. When I hike:

    • whistle
    • emergency beacon
    • road flare
    • fire starter
    • pistol, sometimes an extra mag
    • spare cold-weather clothes
    • first aid kit
    • walkie talkie
    • food
    • compass
    • space blanket and regular blanket
    • plastic poncho

    On the water is a little different, but you get the idea. And yes, loaded with beer it’s a 19lb. bag. Good exercise though and it fits and rides like a dream. I’m not really aware it’s on.
