Actually had to give a survival pack some serious thought after getting stranded this weekend. Was never in any real danger since I was not in an area completelydevoid of other people, but after walking for 2 1/2 hours uphill without seeing another person I wasn't feeling real chipper. My pack contained a space blanket, waterproof matches and long burning candle, a bottle of water, and some munchies thatwere left over from my daughter. Will be making an addition of a small first aid kit, some water purifying tablets,asignal mirror, and better food than goldfish crackers!Can't hurt to bebetter prepared.
