bringing a firearm is not stupid it's being safe

Food: MRE's are good, they are light weight and easy to pack. They have breakfast and dinner meals. For snacks, power bars and nuts are great.

Packing a firearm is not stupid at all. Many state parks and forest allow these. Check local laws. Also many modern firearms are compact and light weight. Why risk it if you dont have to?

your firearm of choice, anytime i go into a remote wilderness area, i carry a pistol, because as you should know, you are responsible for your own safety and protection, bears are not your biggest problem, it is ill intentioned people.

Don't forget a whistle - your voice won't last long if you're lost or hurt.

I've been carrying the synthetic sports bra with me for a while, but I have yet to use it. Think I can leave it behind next trip?

I just posted this list on expertchecklists.com. There you can edit the checklist and discuss changes with other people. You can also just make your own copy and modify. Pretty cool.

Axe? Break your firewood on a sharp rock. Repeated strikes will break any size.

Backup Nav. device should be a magnetic compass (orienteering or lensatic). Electronic compasses depend on a power source (battery/solar) and can fail due to environment effects or dead battery. High-end GPS & watches may include an electronic compass.
