I bought a $5 medical kit has bandages, sowing needle, gloves, medicine, ect.
I also bring a backpack with:
1. flares
2. waterproof flashlight
3. 45ft of climbing rope
4. flint
5. knife
6. extra shirt and sox
7. emergency blanket
8. ski mask (which can be really helpful!)
9. extra small medical kit in waterproof case.

that's what I always bring when I go snowboarding, hiking, hunting. its very light weight and in a emergency can save your life.
P.S. fishing line and a lure should also be added.

I know what a backpack hunt is. Although it sounds like a lot of things I have been hiking with a very small backpack and this is all super light. I bring all this when I go hiking it only weighs about 2 pounds at the most. P.S. its she not he

I apologize for the gender discrepancy.

So just to clarify because I feel many times people get confused, but what does "wilderness" mean to you?

Have you actually put those items Ina scale? Because I'm getting significantly higher then two pounds...The fact that you have a separate backpack for first aid says to me we aren't on the same wave length for hunting wilderness.

Not trying to be rude, as your emergency kit  has value in other situations, but you can't be finding value in that stuff.

Ski mask and rope? Are we kidnapping someone?

Police,

Dump the flares, and go to about 15 ft of para cord. Is the knife and flashlight redundant? What about the flint? What's in your medical kit?

The  first aid kit from the Mountaineers "Mountaineering First Aid" by Carline, Lentz and MacDonald.   This is from the 1996 fourth edition, and by now there are other products that probably supersede Carlisle or battle dressings.  I also have a couple wire splints in my bigger kit, and since my climbing days are largely over, and dogs are more present, I will probably add a small and cheap muzzle and any other items the vet recommends.

to me wilderness is hiking at minimum 5 miles where no one but you and the person you came with are there. Me and my family do a lot of big hikes I have carried these items over 10 times. I have not actually put it on a scale but there is no way I would take it if it slowed me down. I do a lot of snowboarding and a ski mask comes in handy and sometimes its colder then you think and it can make hiking ALOT more easier.
And I should have clarified this earlier but I just noticed it. the rope I have is small it could probably fit in your hand but if you couldn't find your way back before dark it can be a lot easier to build a shelter or put your food up fare away from bears.

actually the knife and flashlight are the things I use the most. My medical kit has everything you could need bandages, ibuprofen, gloves, sowing needle, ect. But it could fit in your hand and its very light. thanks for the advice
