Wisdom from Teddy Roosevelt...

First we had some wisdom from The United States Marine Corps...which was sort of advanced! Lots of stuff to think about in that post...

Here is some "kit wisdom" from Theodore Roosevelt:

"The explorer would do well always to have on his person a compass, a light waterproof bag containing matches, a waterproof box of salt, and a strong, light, linen or silk fish-line with several hooks, a knife, and an automatic at his belt, with several loaded magazines for the latter in his pocket. Thus provided, if accidentally lost for several days in the forest, he will be provided with the possibility of getting game and making himself shelter and fire at night." ~ Theodore Roosevelt, 1914
