I always have an emergency bag on the sled with enough stuff in it
to keep me and the dogs alive, if not comfortable,for a night or two.

I keep a smaller kit, just some matches, bandages, a knife and handwarmers in my waist bag.
That way if I loose the team and can't walk home, I can keep myself warm!
I'd just make sure I had Bus Fare inna pockit ... then
Walk to da corner an Hop on da Bus!


Hey Glacier ~

You might SERIOUSLY consider a Mountaineer's or Skiier's "Safety Beacon" to carry with you.
Sends out a signal that can be tracked by a search party.

Be CAREFUL out there!
