more food..some sort of filling power bar and maybe a pack of dry soup that could be made in the cup.
maybe it's just because i'm a old guy but i think fire and food,lots of it,should be on the top of the list for these kits.
Agreed! He's an old guy too.

Hates the cold and gets grumpy when he's hungry.
My son came down with the stomach flu shortly before lunch on our hike today so we took a long slow hike back out after I ate, he drank juice and I packed up. He said it's a good thing we didn't wait it out. I reminded him of the stuff we carry in our packs for shelter, fire, water and food and he said "Oh yeah. It's too bad we didn't wait it out." It would have been an overnighter for sure, and not a planned one. I think he much prefers being in his own bed with his Teddy and his barf bucket beside him.
