When I started this thread, I thought that it would be wildly popular. Now, I am realizing that the limitations of space on the average sled make taking many of these items impossible. The point of the thread is to have us all think about what we can take that will be beneficial so that we have it when we need it. Many of the items are small that anyone can take and many of the items we may already own. For example, as PaugusBayFireFighter said, take aspirin. Or, how about a Leatherman.
