I am putting together a my ready pack for the Search and Rescue team and would like some input. The pack needs to be ready to go all the time, so all of my hunting and backpacking equipment is out. I live in NW Wyoming and terrain varies from rolling hills and sagebrush, mountain areas with lots of pine, to swampy areas in the Beartooths (lots of mosquitoes).
My current setup is a heat reflective tarp, cheap REI bivy (not the most breathable), and synthetic blanket. I have several clothing layers that I would put on or take off depending on temperatures.
I would like some advice on a better set up. I just need something where I can get some sleep or get out of a storm. Everything will be semi-compressed and in my pack at all times.
Requirements:
1) Economical: We have to provide our own gear and hopefully it will just sit in my ready pack 99% of the time.
2) Versatile: There is a lot of different environments.
3) Light Weight: Depending on the scenario, we may have to take lots of extra equipment.
4) Simple: Easy set up and take down for more efficient use of time searching.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
