Beyond the essentials ?
My candle lantern
Maybe bc I'm a solo hiker But my candle lantern always has effect of making any enclosed space that I'm in feel homier

Its funny, Dad and I were just talking about this and we both agree that with a fire starter (matches lighter whatever), snare wire, and an axe (Iltis Oxhead), we could probably survive in the bush anywhere in North America

I never leave home without my camera.

**HermesUL** · 10-26-2012, 20:09

Poncho Tarp. Planning on buying the Golite 7 oz version soon.

**Sarcasm the elf** · 10-26-2012, 20:48

Definitely my Glock 18c

**Dogwood** · 10-26-2012, 23:55

That thing between my ears. NO, not my nose. My brain.

**Dogwood** · 10-26-2012, 23:59

**hikerhobs** · 10-31-2012, 16:16

my therm-a-seat cushion, nothing worse then a wet A$$

**HermesUL** · 10-31-2012, 17:17

Kitchen sink. Hands down.

For me, the piece of gear I couldn't do without are 2 things- my really light hiking poles- they save my ankles and help on the uphills too!! The other thing is my comfy hiking boots...with sore feet, you aren't going very far.

**hbc2194** · 11-02-2012, 01:21

My ear plugs and gaiters.

**darkage** · 11-09-2012, 19:44

Not sure if anyone else has said this ... but i'll go with my backpack ... carrying everything in my arms would suck. LOL

While you're waiting for something to stick it's head in your wire, I'll nip down the road with my ziplock bag of cash and cards and buy a pizza.

**jimmyjam** · 11-09-2012, 20:33

My exped mat. Can't do the closed cell foam anymore.
