i carry a small survival kit. including your standard stuff; emergency blanket, lighter, matches, needle, thread, sterno, parachute cord, fishing hooks, scalpel, anti-diarrheal, iodine tabs, a 6 inch cold steel knife, swiss army, and SOG tool. I usually carry it year round, but am sure to carry it in winter. we don't get a lot of ice, or snow, in NC, so no need for shovel, or anything of that nature

edit: bear grylls doesn't have $%%$ on me, hahahaha. j/k

Funny! Enough ammo can make up for other needs.
