Also, a shovel FOR EVERY PERSON in the party. (suggested by David C.)

NOAA rescue beacon, handheld and mobile HAM + Forest Service and other gov channels radios. (Anyone can transmit on any channel in an emergency.) Winter down mummy bags, xcountry skis except in summer. Gear for hiking out in very bad weather. (We have unpredicted storms.) Chains.

Thanks. I will check for the square holes, research the lights and attracting owls.

Clever. Good for long term storage.
