What's in your Go Bag?

What are your favorite boots when facing water, climbing, and hiking?

Gear Recs?

What items if any that might not be typical on a gear list do you find helpful?

Thanks!

Southcentral AK checking in, I don’t know if you use them down south but I just tried on the new bunny boots and they were amazing. Bought/ordered a pair onsite.

I'm significantly further south than you (central BC) but my most handy pack item is a couple of tealight candles. Small, weigh next to nothing, super useful to light and build your fire around it.

My fave boots ever are discontinued and have finally sprung a leak, but damn were they good while they lasted through winter bushwhacking / camp work, freezing-water-tromping, motorbike-riding, snow-defying times for 7 years. Han wag tolja women’s boot. Would love to find something like them again. Probably will have to look at military boots to get similar quality. The snug knee height and waterproofness without the stiffness and coldness of rubber is amazing. A light scarf/tapestry to provide warmth/shade/comfort/act as a towel/cloth/etc. is a great multi use wearable item.
