I dont think there a lot of people out there who go up wearing a Nomex
flight suit, complete with Nomex gloves, and socks; flotation device;
and, survival vest. A lot probably are carrying some kind of first aid
kit, and maybe a survival kit consisting of more than two stale
Snickers bars.

So, the question to the group is . . . what are you carrying?

Compact (comes in a tube / pre-purchased) survival kit
First Aid kit
Basic set of tools
Spare sparkplug
Length of nylon rope
Spare tailwheel tire/tube
When flying over mountainous terrain, cold weather clothes & camping
gear, pistol & ammo (usually have to go over the Cascade mountains in
the Pacific NW to get to where we want to camp, so I'll have camping
gear on-board anyway....).

Please stop right there.

Go search the archives (google groups if need be).

We've spent hundreds of messages discussing what people carry, or
don't carry, for emergencies and otherwise.

Altho I must admit, the topic is more relevant than "how many hours
to solo..." and variations.

You don't have to read the rest of the thread.

So obviously it's something many people like to discuss, even if you
don't. Nobody is forcing you.

Is there anything we're disucssing that hasn't been discussed before?

There's also a lot of archives of people saying "stop right there" :-)
It's never worked before. But at least you were polite in your
effort

What? It should not be discussed again, ever? There's always new
people and technology and ideas. A good pilot is always learning...

So, the question to the group is . . . what are you carrying?

I have an 1800 cu in daypack for a GO-bag.
Contents include: 2x one-liter Nalgenes; Esbit fuel tab stove; Snow Peak
700 ml Ti cup and spork; individual first aid kit; 5x Luna bars; 5x
cup-a-soup; 10x chrystal light 1-l mix; Katadan Purification Tablets ;
space blanket; OR Basic Bivvy; Leatherman WAVE; hand crank cellphone
charger; Magellan Explorist 300 GPS w/spare batteries; Glacier glasses;
60 ft 5 mm rope; 50 ft Spectracord; 8x12 sill tarp; Thermarest
inflatable sit pad; toilet paper in a 1 pt ziplock freezer bag

Clothing would be what I am wearing, appropriate for conditions. Below
50 F I usually wear long underwear. I always carry a pocketknife,
flashlight, lighter and whistle in my pocket.

I have a separate first aid kit that I carry on long trips. It consists
of 1500 cu in lumbar pack with enough materials to deal with most
emergencies. (No sutures, but I do have a surgical stapler!)

Sounds like safety and preparedness are high priorities for you. How
much weight does all this add to your aircraft, and where do you stow
it?

Two liters of water is the heaviest item (2lb/l), daypack weighs 15 lbs.
First aid kit also carries 2-l water, weights 10-12 lbs.
GO-bag is within arms reach in the cabin and should be pulled on prior
to any arrival (if it is not on you, it not is going out the door with
you). First Aid kit can go in the baggage compartment or back seat.
The Go-bag is constantly evolving.
