As long as we are on the topics of putting lists together, Survival
Gear is another topic we haven't covered.

My kit hangs from the back of the pilot's seat. With a pull handle on top, it's
easy to grab on my way out. It holds military-style matches, three "space-age"
sleeping bags, three "space-age" blankets, a plastic dropcloth and coil of thin
line to use as a tent, a signal mirror, heavy sheath knife, compass, and a
variety of medical stuff.

There's lots of other stuff I would add (like food and water), but that's already
up to about 20 pounds.

often to the physician than to the patient.
