Alright, let's say it's spring in North Europe or N.America(USA/Canada) well it is!
You decide to go out in the forest for a day trek lasting 8 hours,or so you envisage. But being spring the weather turns nasty(very unpleasant blizzard) you possibly twist an ankle and/or lose your way and find yourself in deep trouble with the light fading and a rising sense of dread. You will have to spend the night or maybe two outside,not a pleasant prospect. What 7 items do you wish you had packed in your small rucksack but didn't? Ah yes, no mobile phones allowed just to make things tricky
For me it would be:
Whistle,
Small bluet stove/kettle
Tea-bags
Electric torch, skunklight or skylight
Thermal sleeping bag
Compact revolver for warding off predators
Flask of spirits (pref Bourbon or Calvados)
My day pack has, compass, folder(Buck Alpha Hunter or Bark River fixed blade)
monocular, chocolate,pack lunch,lighter,first aid dressing,hat with ear-flaps,plastic bags for sitting on. Forgot my mobile(cell)phone in the car....
