I can't believe someone hasn't said this but: a knife -incredibly useful tool especially if you end up in the backcountry in the woods. (preferably a higher quality one such as Gerber though Opinel do some fine blades somewhat cheaper)! and a proper fire starter - ie a fire stick that is composed of a number of different metals including magnesium that always guarantee a hot shower of sparks. Combined with that make some fireballs by taking cotton wool at home and then mixing in some vaseline (sp) this is perfect for fire starting as it takes easily and burns for a good while!

I used my multitool last year after my budies skiied away while I was hanging upside down in a snowwell with a ski hooked by a shrub. An item not mentiioned is a partial roll of toilet paper. It can start fires, staunch bleeding parts, and of course the obvious.
Spare batteries for the radio and the transciever, I have a ortovox it turns on by strapping it to yourself.
Duct tape is rolled onto my shovel handle and on my poles, most used item, fixes clothes torn, tapes on climbing skins that aren't sticking, and of course repairs gloves, it also works as a blister cover.

The general rule for mountaineers is to not go out until the day after the weather has cleared.
Is there any hope of us being as responsible as mountaineer friends, ever?

T Bar, brands oh forgive my ignorance, but I did drop 1000' of OFF-PISTE snow today. Besides the 16" of heavy snow the resort had, and yes we were bad, left the transcievers in the vehicle and then wished we had them on.
