Rucksack, Viet Nam era light weight type. One poncho, 3 plastic Bic lighters, one old Doans Pills metal container filled with waterproof strike anywhere matches. One small Mag-Tech flashlight, one collapsable E-tool carried on side of pack, one machete carried on other side of pack, one roll of brown twine. small military first aid kit in pack pouch. Four NASA space blankets, 6 pair socks in second pouch, 100 rounds of 308 in center pouch. One new military "arctic " sleeping bag wrapped in poncho tied to bottom of rucksack. One military wool blanket inside pack up against my back.. One 6"x4" signal mirror. One small walkie talkie with 3 extra 9 volt batteries. One 40 channel hand held CB radio with 9 extra batteries. One silver spoon and fork assembly. One can of pears and a package of beef jerky. One Swiss Army knife. A piece of galv wire to make a snare. One canteen with canteen cup attatched to outside center of pack. Thats it, plus mu web gear on web belt and shoulder straps. I carry 2 more canteens on the belt along with my 45 and 2 spare 10 round magazines, K-bar knife and 12 magazines. All of this sounds like a lot of weight but the ammo and magazines are the only heavy articles and I can walk up the mountain to a small knoll where I have good visibility and overhead tree cover and hang out. My stash of food and toilet paper along with another E-tool are buried close by.
