good cold weather kit.
i have to change my kit from that because i live in the calif desert and the sub zero clothing would be useless to me even in the winter. (i have it
because i use to work in the high country its stored away in vacuum bags in case i ever need it again)
Rain gear is also useless in the summer out here in the desert, not because it does not rain, It does rain hard during the summer monsoons we get. but
rain gear is just to hot and will leave you just as wet as if you did not wear it due to sweating,
What we use out here is lite weight military type nylon ponchos.
I also carry the poncho liners. because they double as a light weight sleeping bag during the summer. or help keep you warm and dry in the winter.

A military poncho also will keep your pack dry if you put your pack on and then put the poncho on so that it will cover you and the pack. you also can
use it for a sun shelter when its hot out. and there is no shelter from the sun

I'd like to add one thing I haven't seen on other threads. Bar/s of PURE soap and no not for washing ether,, strictly for first aid only. A friend put me on to this about 15 years ago and it's the best antiseptic I have ever come across.
First, clean your wound the best you can with water. Shave the soap and add a small amount of water, just enough to make a paste. Grit your teeth and push the soap paste into and around the wound. then bandage,, check every 12-24hrs.
Note: the bandage can be basically anything although cotton is the best and it doesn't have to be sterile, provided you use enough soap.
Excellent for infected wounds as well and will aid in fast healing time......
I have never heard of this before, very interested. Sorry for my ignorance but what do you mean by pure soap and do you (or anybody) have a link to the product?
