Thread: Ze bc pack list essentials

What ya use for these. These are my considerations :

Little stove : PrimusTitanium with solo kit pot set.

Bivy : integral designs rescue bivy

Any comment would be appreciated. Time to ready the pack for winter's arrival !

I Love replying to my own threads. Guess wrong forum. This ain't moving like it used to. What's up no one out there no more...

Am i alone ?

I'll probably go for the bibler hooped bivy and the primus stove set up

thanks y'all very helpfull

Inflatable mattress.

I use one of these for my emergency bivy. I don't carry a stove, I assume you do this for water. I do carry fire starter however. If I was doing a long overnight, I'd prolly add more stuff. Other things I carry ALL THE TIME.

probe
shovel
beacon
compass
snow study kit
comprensive first aid kit
SAM splint
extra hat, gloves, goggles
puffy coat
food
fire starter
multi-tool
duct tape
bailing wire
scraper
skins

THINGS I CARRY SOMETIMES
rescue sled deal (I need to make a new one)
harness
rope
side arm
signal flare

I might have forgotten something. We should do a minion version of Conways "what's in your pack". I'm sure we could learn from each other.

explosives ? like a piss bomb or something ?

I like this idea...

i dont see why you would pack a splint. extra weight. you have poles and you have aluminium pack stays. you can also find sticks. there are more important things... comm.... 144/440MHz radio... cell phone

Why carry as SAM splint? Cause every first aid/wilderness preparedness course I've ever done preaches it's effectiveness. Every guide I know carries 2. Cause I was was poles in a resque situation to get around. If you've got a compound tib/fib fracture and I've got to extract you, I want my poles. Sticks are often not that handy in the BC and only form a linear splint. SAMs are really pretty amazing.

Acclaimed internationally, the SAM® Splint is currently utilized by EMS, military, and special operations groups around the globe. From outer space to the ocean depths, the SAM® Splint has provided performance and reliability in every terrain and weather condition. As the standard for pre-hospital and outdoor medical care, it is recognized in emergency and wilderness medicine text.

The SAM® Splint is suited for both adults and children, and can immobilize almost any bone in the body, including the neck. It is easy to use and comes with illustrated step-by-step instructions. A training video or CD is also available.

The SAM® Splint is lightweight, weighing only 4 oz. and may be rolled or folded for easy storage in emergency kits or back packs.

The SAM® Splint requires no extra equipment. It will not puncture and is not affected by extreme temperature or altitude.

Cell phone - they don't work where I go. I've checked

Radios - who would you call? SAR groups are histroically very slow and would never get their within the golden hour.
