We are on the same page. Before my first trip to New Mexico mountains, I read everything I could on mountain hunting and survival requirements. The first day out, I had a backpack, hatchet, Model 29 S&W with ammo, etc, etc. The next day the pistol was gone, the backpack was gone, and my sweatshirt was packed full of the necessities you list.
