I'm surprise more haven't want to do this, mainly to see if your system works. If something does happen you have someone to help and a second party if you don't make it to your destination on time.

I know right? Plus if my system works nice, it actually might be a little enjoyable.

esaabye: I think I will have to decline your offer.
HBARleatherneck: it is exactly nights like this that get me motivated to want to do something like this. An emergency scenario does not always happen when it is 70 degrees and dry.

Some of us get out in the boonies for a few days at a time quite regularly but see little point in posting trip reports.

true I figured it would be more of a open discussion with others about what you learned and resource of sort. Although usually when I go into the woods it involves a quad and 4-10 other people and I'm the only one that usually carries a bag with em in case something happens. A couple other guys carry tools to get their quads out, if need be, but nothing if something catastrophic happens while we're out there and have to spend the night or someone gets injured. It would be nice to get some info and experience with some like minded people.

I'm down for this as well, just to mix it up a bit. My brother in law and I have been camping roughly every 6 weeks, for a few years now; year round. It would suck to not have my -20* bag and thermarest on a night like tonight, but I'd make do.

My get home bag lives in my trunk, along with a bunch of other items that prove useful from time to time...especially in winter. If I were in a situation where I was going to grab my bag and leave my vehicle, 95% of the time my normal daily life will have me within 20 miles of home. 99% of the time I'll be within 50 miles of home. My destination would always be home, unless it no longer existed. If the situation were different, and I was forced in to becoming a permanent nomad, my selection would be quite different.
