Adventures In Reach (AIR) hopes to expand what adventures are possible for you, teach the skills to help make that happen, inspire you to get out of a rut, and increase your confidence outdoors. We encourage you to challenge yourself and try something new, from a backyard adventure to an expedition. Although all outdoor adventures are fair game, AIR generally focuses on small sailboat or Sunfish sailboat sailing and camping, rappelling, knots, ropes, hammock camping, outdoor adventures with dogs, compass orienteering, canoeing, wilderness travel, outdoor gear, camping, hiking, and cold weather camping and survival.

Sounds a lot like what’s in my pack. I also carry a wash cloth as an emergency bandage (and to use with hand sanitizer in case someone gets heat exhaustion), some clotting agent (I ride a motorcycle), a couple of whistles and flares (required by the Coast Guard), and a cheap disposable rain poncho.

[@AdventuresInReach]

Hello Clyde. Thanks for the comment(s)! Absolutely--it sounds like you are right on track with some of the water specific additions. I do actually have a whistle built into the pack I showed, but yes I carry much more for emergency when on the water. I've also figure I can use an emergency blanket for a rain poncho if needed. I hesitated in responding because I was trying to figure out the connection between hand sanitizer and heat exhaustion...but I got it--your meaning to use the washcloth to wet someone down if they have heat exhaustion. Funny. That makes sense now.

[@clydeosterhout1221]

@@AdventuresInReach I have had to use it that way on several occasions. Easier to carry than rubbing alcohol. I carry a tube of frosting as well. There are lots of diabetics around here. You just pump some of the frosting into their mouth. If there levels are low, they recover quickly. If not, their levels are high and you call 911.

If you're carrying a knife you might as well carry a ferro rod too. Lighters are usually pretty unreliable.

[@AdventuresInReach]

Absolutely. Ferry rods are great. I've never had issue with lighters, even in -50 F as long as it was kept warm and dry. As mentioned, I will often tape over the top to seal out water. If it's cold I'll stick it in an inside pocket.

@Adventures In Reach all tech is great... right up until it isn't.all it takes is one bad fall, one skiing collision with a tree or one pisse off mama moose and your lighter is worthless and it's getting dark soon..minor kit is fine if you're on a well marked and popular trail and someone else knows your plan and when to call help...if you're going cross country you should really carry more than that. "2 is 1" mentality. Have backups, spares and alternatives because right when you need something to work is exactly when it fails.
I'm not trying to make a dig at you just wanted to kind of expand for the less skilled people thay might be watching.

19 Degrees, that's a nice temp... (Realizes)

[@AdventuresInReach]

19 degrees is a nice temp!...especially in northern MN during the winter.
