Good post. I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and most of my family is from ND and MN, the later of which is were I spent my high school years. I hunt in northern MN and Wisconsin and always have a little emergency kit in my truck, which I will list a few items down below that have served me well. This is mainly set up as I have a 45 minute commute home and I wanted something I could throw in a "get home bag", as I know it is probably a day walk at best.
Rocky Pack-able Jacket. It is very warm for what it is, I don't recommend using it everyday as it doesn't seem durable enough for that, but it is warm and packs into a small area.

SOL emergency blanket. I was late season duck hunting and when I went out to grab a decoy I slipped into the main channel and filled my waders with 33 degree water. We had a 30 minute boat ride to get out of the state park that I froze through, luckily one of the guys had this in his truck.

A basic skivvy role. T-shirt, underwear, jogging shorts and socks. I wish I had this when I went into the sugar river duck hunting. I should add a cheap pair of walmart sweatshirt and sweatpants, just in case.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”
