Just a few suggestions; <have most of this in my own 'oh crap' pack, for when you are too far from camp to get back and have to spend a night or two away from camp>

*A length of soft iron wire (called "tie wire" at hardware stores) very handy, at least ten or twelve feet

*Some aluminum foil, multiple possible uses

*A metal coffee can - put your goodies in it, and close it with the plastic lid that comes with them; this serves as a waterproof (sort of) container for your emergency kit, and can be used to heat water or cook in

*A few aspirins, for pain, fever or heart attack, stroke etc

*A hand full of hard candies; these will not spoil for a long time and supply quick energy

*A small mirror, handy for signaling or shaving

*A small magnifying glass - not just for fire starting, handy for finding splinters and thorns!

*If room allows, a deck of cards - or some dice, <or both> something to entertain you if you are stuck in place due to foul weather

*A small note pad and short pencil (not pen, which can dry up) for leaving notes or etc

Also a sewing kit and a manicure set would be handy to have. And a few trash bags, and zip lock sandwich and freezer bags. Good Luck. rockhound

A good pocket knife, honed sharp enough to shave with is indispensible......Gary
