Backpacking Dayhike Emergency Overnight Gear

This is a "What If" and not an actual Emergency Overnight. This is an emergency outdoor protection gear review of backpacking gear I carry on a dayhike - featuring the MSR E-Bivy, Sea To Summit Thermolite Reactor Extreme Sleeping Bag Liner and Equinox Tarp Ultralite Poncho/Shelter with Extension.

If you do use this gear overnight, I know I would like to hear a report.

I would try to plan for 50 F or 40 F.

Having a maximum-minimum thermometer helps find out the actual conditions.

@backpackinonline Haha, I should test this, but it's strictly "e-carry gear", one step up from "better than nothing at all" - a situation I would not want to find myself having to deal with - and avoided if we planned our hike correctly. Really appreciate this dialogue.

@dmacken11 I hear you Dave, so true. That actually happened yesterday. We found a game trail and I let Cooper loose. We stopped for a meal and he was shivering mighty hard. I put on my primaloft jacket and slipped him inside. It worked! I'm keeping him at lower elevations through this summer.

@wawhiker We all certainly need to be prepared. Some more than others depending on location and weather. I'm not sure how far off the beaten path you have been going these days but with winter weather and the slippery wooded slopes I've seen you on before you certainly need to be prepared. By the way if you stuff a small dog in the Reactor bag with you it will raise the temperature significantly! And probably save the dog too! LOL
