[at-l] Seriously planning to HIKE! (essentials)

[delita@mindspring.com (Delita Wright)]

Last one for the night. :)

I bought a little nylon belly pack today with the idea that I
could carry essentials there, and would have them with me even
if I hike down the hill after dropping my pack or such.  (I
read about how Garvey ended up spending one night by a water
source without anything.)

Please jump in with suggestions for what you would put in this
little guy.  It's nothing fancy and not too big, either - so I
can't haul (for example) my rain windbreaker.  Although I
could hang that from it's belt ;-)  Probably the disposable
rain suit would make more sense, and a space blanket?  And
what else?

Since I am planning to hike alone, I really want to plan well.

Thanks, everyone!
