Sounds like the Bravo Two Zero scenario. I need to refresh my memory with his book, and “The One Who Got Away”, "Eye of the Storm", and "The Real Bravo Two Zero".

You can freeze to death, especially if you are running and hiding in that environment. You can also die of dehydration in a few days as well.

Here goes initial shot, in no particular order.

1. Compact indig civilian clothing or cover up, snivel gear as needed, wrapped in a couple of large garbage bags or a space blanket
2. Nav kit - map, compass and GPS
3. Commo kit - radio and/or Cell phone with contact numbers, CEOI, etc.
4. Signal kit - mirror, scarf, pen flares, Firefly strobe, etc.
5. Trauma kit with IV kit and meds, to include stimulants, antibiotics, and narcs
6. Compact binos
7. Suppressed .22LR pistol and ammo
8. Hydration bladder (full) with MSR MIOX or water purification tabs
9. Trail mix or other high cal zero prep food for eating on the run
10. Adventure Medical Kits Pocket Survival Pak or Pocket Pro Survival Kit
11. Spare .45 ACP ammo and an M67 Fragmentation Grenade
12. Cash, coins, chits, credit cards, or barter items

I will frag/re-eval this tomorrow. Too late for thinking clearly.
