I always have my USMC "deuce" gear, see photo, in the back of my H2 loaded with cartridge belt/H-harness; two full canteens; first aid kit; gloves; gun, holster, & ammo; knife; cord; emergency blanket; flashlights (2 small aaa headlamps); flask (w/ single malt Scotch); GPS; Gore-Tex jacket (w/ liner); hat/headband thingy; Gore-Tex rain pants; a few extra fleece layers; map; toilette paper; lighter and matches; lighter fluid and/or Coleman fuel (so you can start a fire with even the wettest wood); extra batteries; cigars; water purification tablets; emergency food; whistle (gun usually works better); Excedrin (cures almost any altitude ills). -- It all weighs about 25 lbs and can keep me alive for days.
Where the hell is your Ranger Roll (Poncho,liner and Rubberbitch rolled into one) should be mounted to the bottom of the a$$ pack, Devil Dog? Damn thats an old school set up haven't see Duece Gear since back in 1998.
