winter survival kits
You know a kid's school pack? If THAT was the size, what would you put in it for Survival Gear?
This would be for hunting in the Angeles National Forest(right behind Los Angeles) in Winter.
1) Pine tree forest.
2) Elevation 3,500 feet to 6,000 feet elevation.
3) Light snow.
4) Dead wood, pine needles available in large quantity.
5) Water available at the bottoms of SOME canyons.
6) Person kit is for has NO woodsmanship skills,
7) Person kit is for has NO natural sense of direction.
Person kit is for is very physically fit.
9) Person kit is for gets cold easily.
10) Cell phones blocked by 8,000-10,000 foot peaks.
11) Area subject to wildfires, flares cannot be used.
12) No natural food exists in plain sight in the forest, except possibly squirrels.
I'm going to assume you're heading out properly attired for the weather. I'm also going to assume you have something which can be used to bring down small animals for dinner with you in addition to a big game rifle, like a .22 rifle, .22 pistol, or if you're using a shotgun for large game, some shells loaded with birdshot. For convience sake, I'm going to reference a lot of this from the Boy Scouts website since they supply their scouts with quality, functional equipment at low prices. You're welcome to substitue equivalent equipment, if you think you can find it cheaper somewhere else...
01. polar fleece or wool blanket 60x90 inches (packed in a vaccuum container to save space)
02. boy-scout/Swiss Army pocket knife (store in one of the pack's pockets). (1)(2)
03. 2 ways of starting a fire (disposable lighter and fire-steel/magnesium starter block)
04. 1 canteen of water (attach to outside of pack or belt to save internal space)
05. 1 boyscout cook kit (3) and camp cutlery set
06. water purification tablets
07. 1 change of socks and shirt (again vaccuum packed to save space)
08. a first-aid kit (4) and manual (5)
09. dehydrated food (rammen noodles, miso soup, boulion cubes... think low volume, low weight)
10. wind-up flashlight
11. a cable saw/folding saw
12. a signal whistle to signal for help
13. light-weight plastic tarp (again - vaccuum sealed to save space)
14. 50 feet of paracord
15. compass and map of the area
16. travel size packet of toilet paper
17. hand sanitizer/wipes.
With that you should be able to survive relatively well for a couple days if you had to. And it should all fit in a soft-side backpack like what you'd see a high school student or middle school student carry provided you're careful about packing it and get a bit creative about stashing stuff inside stuff.

My Magnificent Mom Moment was packing those enormous Ziploc “Big Bags” with winter survival kits for both of my boys to keep in their cars when they went away to college.
LOL Faith! That's because you are a lifelong Californian. I used to think that way before I lived in Minnesota. That was the first time I actually put winter survival kits into each car. Hugs, Carla
Blankets, road flares, kitty litter (to use as traction under your tires if you get stuck somewhere), flashlight and batteries, first aid kit, window scraper, and small shovel.
