Firearms aside, I have a three day pack. I am also the minimalist's minimalist, so: Russian potato sack pack, tube tent (self made) three days dry food, canteen, clothes on my back--spare socks and underwear, energy pills, homemade cooking gear, boots, two space blankets, two plastic rain ponchos, KA-Bar, knee-elbow pads, battle belt holding six mags, mosquito head covering, fire starters, thermal camo cloak, hat, lots of little items, lube for rifle. I need a section of roll-up commercial insulation for a sleeping pad. There will be some throw-in items like hearing protection. I bought this all at the surplus store or on-line for next to nothing.
