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.

LOL, we only have wussy black bears. There's coyotes around but I hear they're shy as well.
