[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3994460, member: 35036"] Yes, to an extent, but for me it varies wildly depending upon the situation. I always keep a full blown trauma/first aid kit, a blanket, a few snacks l, maps/compass/shovel, and recovery gear in my truck. As a rule of thumb, if I’m going further than 3-4 hours from the house I bring enough cash for a flight or rental car back home and a sidearm. If I’m heading up to go see my buddy in Denver, I typically drive a few extra hours and spend a day in Walden, which is on the backside of the Rockies. I’ll always bring extra blankets, warm clothes, and food on those trips, in case I get stuck. I also typically bring shoes with me on trips, whether they’re comfy walking shoes or boots for mud/snow. If Clyde is coming with me I always bring food and water for him, and his first aid kit. I don’t necessarily bring a full kit to hike 100s of miles home, but I bring the stuff necessary to get me out of trouble, weather a bad situation, and get me to the closest town or something. At the start of Covid when you couldn’t get a flight or rental car I definitely did pack assuming I wouldn’t be able to rely upon that, but I’ve relaxed from that quite a bit. I also almost always put a rifle and shotgun with a box or two of ammo for each, in the truck for all trips further out than an hour from the house, but that’s typically because I try and stop at public land and try my luck on whatever is in season. They are both packable though, which is intentional. [/QUOTE]
