AJ.
I am usealy only a few miles from a town.
But there are so many scenarios where a bag like that would save your life.
I may get a bag and put alot of that stuff on my Christmas list. I have been waiting to play with one of thoes Jet Boils anyway.
I was trying to get a couple buddys to do a minimalist hunt for a September weekend.
One man tent or hamic,bed roll. Mountain house MRE's and water and hunting gear. No takers tho.
I kid you not. There will be 5 of us this year and you will need a truck and trailer.
But boy we eat good. And have a nice comfy litte camp.
Some of the Jetboil systems can be rather pricey!!! I have an OLD Coleman. Still works great.
I grew up in the "middle of nowhere", (my hometown does NOT, to this very day, have a single red light in it), so you learn pretty quick to make sure you have just about everything you need covered!!
Also my past profession taught me "if ya ain't got it, you can't go back and get it the middle of a feces storm"!!!!
You know what they say, "a country boy can survive"!!
Growing up in rural America was a blessing. I left here and went off to college, then to work in a LARGE Metro city. It was a "culture shock" to say the least. I retired after 27 years and the first thing I did was move back to where I came from!!
I remember one time when me and a buddy of mine got invited to go on a "hunting trip" with some guys we knew from a local bank, (big city folks), but we went anyway. They gave us directions to the ranch. We made the drive, they showed up in an RV equipped with A/C, satellite TV, room for 8 and a grill/smoker on a trailer behind it!
We slept on the ground, drank fire brewed coffee, ate MRE's and FRESH BACKSTRAP, and killed the only deer ( 2 bucks, 2 does), taken that week!!
Score one for the "Good Guys"!!!
