Water carried elsewhere?

100' of paracord seems like alot.

I tend to carry more meds - 20 pain meds are tiny and useful.

I like the otter boxes for waterproofing and durability. The weight is negligible for the benefit.

Yes, you can safely assume proper clothing, knife (as mentioned above), cell phone, hat, sunglasses, map, compass, water for the rest of my hiking gear. I'm hoping to acquire a GPS soon as well.

I have another FAK that is more robust when camping. This FAK is more personal sized. Note taken for the medications. I'm thinking of adding more benadryl and some more tylenol. Acquired some packets recently and there is still plently of room to add them.

Interesting thought about paracord. So, the question is, how much is enough, how much is too little, and how much is too much?

I carry all of this in a camelback, so that takes care of the water equation.
