Minus sharpener, money, pace counter, add foil survial bag, $1 poncho, water 
bottle, mini first aide baggie, and some durable calories* - and this is what 
I've lashed onto each of my kids (now 14, 10, and 9) on every trip into the 
woods. The rule is they can't go anywhere without it.
*durable calories = homemade power bar type stuff. When I put in M&Ms or 
cookies the kids will eat them on the sly.
