This stuff comes everywhere with me.
Last week a hiker in my local woods fell down a ravine and wasn't found until the next morning by Search & Rescue. Last year a trail runner set off on a familiar trail, became dehydrated, then disoriented, and was found dead under a tree a few days later. Stuff like this happens and it is way better to be over prepared than under prepared. So my day pack sits by my front door and here is what is in it:
Sun screen
Bandana (most useful thing in the world!)
Swiss Army knife
2L water
Emergency Blanket
Mini flashlight
An Altoids box with: Lighter, Ibuprofen, Band Aids, Super Glue, Elastic Bands, Paper Clip, Ricola's, string.
Stay safe!
