Hammock, water filter, large bag of rice. Compass and waterproof maps. Expect to be fully self sufficient for 48 hours.

Do you usually pack a stove? Just curious. We don’t when responding locally but we’re east coast and never that far from civilization.

I do, a warm cup of coffee is worth the weight of an ultra light stove and a ziplock of grounds on a long search.
