    Dogs are excellent judges of character, this fact goes a long way toward explaining why some people don't like being around them.

    Water - MSR 10 Liter Dromedary Bag (Only Half Full as I will be besides a creek) 8#
    Food - Pellet Gun 1# + 2oz Salt & Pepper
    Clothing - About 10# not including what I have on
    Technology - $10 roll of quarters for the pay phones
    Maps - The phone books at the pay phones usually have them in the first section

    Total Pack Weight is around 65# + What ever game I have to carry with me.

    Only serious advise please. I watched the TV show "Preppers" so I know what I'm doing!
    Don't forget to bring a couple red bricks, they are multi-purpose, and can be used to anchor a guy line if stakes are lost, or throw at a scary newt or bear that didn't bring anything to eat to the campfire song night. Also rocks and bricks may not be available in the area you are hiking, so please bring your own, I hate loaning bricks to ultralighters that refuse to carry there own.

    I like beige bricks better. Less chance of them being stolen!

    I prefer to burn the trees down instead of chopping them down. Saves time and effort!
