Interesting kit. A few questions and ideas:
- going solo?
- what's the risk of a debilitating injury?
- how long before rescue would be initiated?
- how good is cell-phone coverage (any first-hand information)?
- add some heavy-duty painkillers?
- add some sturdy leather gloves?
- suitable boots, broken in, should you need to walk any distance?
- bigger cup (one pint/half litre minimum) or a two-quart stainless pot?
- maybe dump the tube tent and add a 3/4 length closed-cell sleeping pad? a light sleeping bag instead of bivvy sacks?
Yes, solo.
There is a high risk of debilitating injury
Max 6 hours before resuce would be initiated because my wife has specific instructions on how and when to do so.
Cell phone coverage is limited to nonexistant where I ride.
I carry hiking shoes in my pack since walking in riding boots would be tough.
I agree with you and others. the tube tent isn't needed if I have the bivy and the tarp.
Thanks.
