Irregardless....
I always take several firearms, plutonium detoxification tablets, a lead blanket in case of nuclear attack, 900 goose down/goretex suit... and fish hooks....and also cigarettes to trade with invading armies and nicotine-addicted bear & moose.

Not to forget tracheotomy tube, inflatable full-body splint, helicopter rescue sling, hotline radio to local militia/SAR units and back-up first aide kit, plus survival cards with various helpful instructions printed on them and a year's supply of morphine tablets.

This is the minimum kit required for any summer day hike away from urban core zones. In urban core, survival simply cannot be assured & thus cyanide tablets are indicated.

I've been living in Canada and Antarctica for 60 years, and believe you me: if you think I'm wrong, you're wrong... Dead wrong...
