I've always been interested in preparedness, maybe I read Robinson Crusoe one too many times as a kid. It useful for me to carry a fair amount of gear with me, as I tend to be very spontaneous - If I'm on my off days and go out to pick up milk - there's a very good possibility that I'll end up 400 miles away in the woods.
