All I've got so far are-

A bee net
The phone number to Rock and Resole
Rescue Services on speed dial
Black Edition Go Pro

I looked at the latest Freedom of the Hills- no help, just the same old outdated map/compass, etc.

Help me out, it's dangerous out there and I need to be ready.

How about one of those 70's cycling leather helmet things, it might protect against tree attack.

I always bring a dog, and a boombox, I figure the dog can get help like Lassie if I am injured, and the boombox can guide SAR to my location.

Don't forget your SPOT GPS device, and an extra set of batteries for the walkie talkies. Cragging is dangerous!

What about a beer net, and a strong haul line?

I understand there are no bad trees, just bad tree owners, but I'm still taking a chainsaw next time!
