What and infringe on my right to bare arms??? than I don't want to be
there!!!

I think the supreme court recently took a look at that. They said there
was a spelling error in the constitution and what was intended was the
right to "Bear arms". Limbs from bears was what was intended.

One forty-five caliber automatic; two boxes of ammunition; four days’
concentrated emergency rations; one drug issue containing antibiotics,
morphine, vitamin pills, pep pills, sleeping pills, tranquilizer pills; one
miniature combination Russian phrase book and Bible; one hundred dollars in
rubles; one hundred dollars in gold; nine packs of chewing gum; one issue
of prophylactics; three lipsticks; three pair of nylon stockings.

What? No chocolate bars?

Depends on the flight. A 500 mile flight in IMC requires different
things compared to a 20 mile hamburger run under VFR.

Up here they'd be pretty much the same this time of year except you
might want more of what ever for the longer flight. You'd freeze to
death before getting out of the swamp five miles from home wearing
street clothes.

A bottle of Gatorade or something similar (wide-mouth prefered).

Much easier than having to land every time I have to pee.

Good Lord! How many hours do you fly at a time. I limit the legs to
around five hours so that's never been a problem...and don't drink a
lot of what ever before starting out.
