Mouse Wizard….for the purpose you stated, I like this list very much. I’m quite the packrat and would usually add this and that. But you’ve got simple/cheap basics and advice to “stay put and quit making it harder to find you.”
I live in fairly rugged mountain country out west. All sorts of dangers from lightning strikes [folks die every year!] to the more exotic like cougar attack [very rare..unless you aren’t watching your small child]. I used to get folks stopping in their vehicles on the roads – and I’m on horseback – asking me HOW DO I GET OUT OF HERE? The roads are a bit odd around here due to rough terrain. There’s only one four-way intersection in the whole area that I know of. All others are Y or T intersections. Folks can’t find their way out of here cuz it’s not laid out like a grid! It’s actually too hard to explain it – I began carrying a map of this immediate area to give to them. Not sure all of them could follow the roads on the map.
Off road….well even I could get turned around in the wilderness up here. I never went off-road with my horse but you can bet I still had many of those things in my saddle packs and on my person – in case the horse and I should part ways….
OldMtWoman …yep, I like it especially for newbies.
