What do you keep in your "go bag"

[Gunner]

Okay
The booze to get ham boned
The condom to get depressed because I'm ll that's left
Cigs because its never to late to start
And one bullet like that had in the road

2 liters of water and water purification tablets
3 ways to start a fire

Lighters will depress the gas lever accidentally and let all the gas out without you knowing it.

As stated-lighters follow Murphy's Law.Bic style-can leak,don't work well in cold,lever can get pushed. Zippo's-fuel evaporates so you need to carry a fuel supply. I carry a fire kit-misch metal rod,striker,and cotton balls/petroleum jelly. Simple kit that works every time.

Condoms: I have several in all the bob's. Makes a great dressing for a wound, extremely stretchy to wrap around other bandages, keep a foot or hand dry if needed, can haul a quart or more of water in them (rinse them first), just a few of the things I plan to use them for. They are cheap, I can get them free at work, or purchase in bulk for little money. They are compact and light.
