Thread: "Oh sh#t" overnight kit

Great to see some resilience around the prospect of toughing it out for a night.
Further to the below, it’s worth while reinforcing having a light source. Having undertaken a few airborne searches at night I cannot stress enough how important a light source is if a night time search ends up being called. Even a small light or signal fire will likely make a search into simple pick up for an experienced crew on goggles.

A lot of outdoors people keep/carry a "survival kit", but don't give a lot of thought to its contents. 16Tontovarish has.
