Go bag for beginners

[JC5123]

It was 2 degrees here this morning and a high of 30 today!

I hear you there, we were 5 degrees when I got up. Weather Channel said -12 with the wind chill.

We've had at least a handfull of days that required wearing long pants so far.  A couple days ago I checked the temp at 10:00 at night and it was still 69 degrees!  

I think it's supposed to get down in the high 40's tonight though.  

M58, There are a dozen or so varying copies of that manual you can download free here.

Back on Go bag basic's.  A full spool of spider wire fishing line, various sizes of monofiliment snells, and some Berkley power bait will help feed you without weighing things down or taking up much room.  Best of all, the Spiderwire (50lb test) can serve a hundred or more handy purposes.  Even makeing snares for rabbits, squirrels (tree rats), and such.

Thanks for the spider wire comment. I have been using 550 in my bags, but any suggestions is great.

Hovering around zero degrees right now.

My cold weather go bag is rather large and dedicated to extreme cold weather.

I keep another smaller bag nearby with gloves, scarf and insulated cap.

For those looking for some 'baggage', consider that LA Police Gear has 25% off Maxpedition gear until December 16th.
