So now that all the snow is gone its time to gear up for summer. This includes moving all my survival gear from my sled bags (on sled and backpack) to my ATV bag. I don’t carry a backpack when I’m ATVing, but maybe I should, something to consider in case I have to walk out 30 miles to the road. Anywho, here’s a good link to a suggestion of survival gear and my list. Obviously I’ll drop a few items, such as the transceiver, beacon, probe, snowshoes and add others like my JetBoil, but for the most part it’s still a good list.
I also Vacuum Seal as much as possible to help compact everything and keep it dry.
