My man I know had a mountain lion stalk him. He was glad to have his side
arm to scare the creature off. A well placed shot just to the side of the
big cat did the trick.
1. Water.
2. Buddy.
3. First aid kit.
4. Water.
5. Compass.
6. 7.5 minute map(s) of area.

Small penlight (by MagLite).
Lens cleaning equipment.

Dan,
I routinely carry the Champion edition of the Swiss Army Knife and a

Of course with the changes with airport security I can no longer keep them

Of course a 28 makes a nice normal lens on the istD. It will have about the
same angle of view as the 43 Limited does on 35mm or a 150mm on 4x5.
