Bino Harness Essentials/Emergency Kit

[WyoWild]

Occasionally while I am hunting (especially while archery hunting) I will drop my backpack while on a stalk. A few times that stalk has turned into an extended outing and have had to find my way back to my pack in the dark.

Got me thinking I should carry a few survival essentials in my bino harness. Trying to keep it to a minimum as I have full first aid, water purification etc in my main backpack. But just in case I ever got separated from my pack wanted to give myself a chance to make it thru a night out

Here is what I came up with:

-Pocket Knife (good steel, could use to make kindling & clean an animal)
-Fenix mini LED flashlight (takes 1 AAA battery)
-Hand warmers
-Nitrile gloves
-Mini first aid kit (gauze pad, band-aid, ibuprofen & benadryl)
-Lighter & fire starter
-Toilet paper
-12ft of 3mm accessory cord (not sure if this will make the cut vs just keeping in my pack)

Everything together weights 6.9oz

Thoughts? Would love to hear what others carry or ideas.

I carry binoculars, wind checker and Copenhagen. I'll never be away from my pack overnight.

Well Copenhagen is of no use to me. Might as well use that space/weight in my harness for essentials I'll be carrying anyway.
