Things that are NOT in this particular pack are some changes of clothes or shoes, canned goods and/or cook-able food and comfort items like blankets or pillows. I've had to make choices, and because I live in a temperate climate, I opted not to put those things into this pack. I do have some of those items in a different pack that is designed for my wife to carry, since it is much lighter than this one. But, if that bag got left behind, or I could only grab one bag for any reason, this is the one to choose, as it has everything we will need for that 3-Day critical time frame. I would obviously prefer if we can take both of the bags with us, one per person. That would be the best option, and that's what I'm prepared for. However this pack is the most critical one to make sure that we have with us. Even if I spent 3 days in my jammies, I wouldn't be happy about it, but I'd come through on the other side of it intact, even if I was uncomfortable for the 3 days. The same holds true for "cookable" food. I have dry soups, instant coffee and other items in the other pack. Since this pack is actually larger than the one I started with, I'll probably move a few of the water only items into this bag also, or more likely get some additional ones to add in here, as I have a little room to add a few things if I needed to. I would also most likely toss my Kindle into the bag, since they can be used for about a week while being used before needing to be charged again. But, I don't let it live in this pack since I do use it day to day. I put the paperback novel in here in the event that I didn't get to grab the Kindle. The other item that does not live in this pack but would be the first extra thing to grab will be my gun & ammunition. I have a designated space in the bag for this to be dropped in quickly, but I do not have multiples, so this will have to be taken from it's designated place in the house and put into the bag before leaving the house. I also have a 5-gallon bucket with the appropriate accessories (Lid, heavy duty trash bag liners & TP/Wet Wipes, but I'm still looking for a seat for it. I can't seem to find one easily right now for some reason.) to be used for bodily waste disposal, which can be grabbed and carried with us if need be. If not, then we have tissue/wet wipes and will have to find an appropriate spot to address those needs as necessary. As usual, I welcome your comments and suggestions for anything anyone thinks I may have overlooked. I have entered this Instructable in the "Be Prepared" contest. If you have enjoyed reading, please give me a vote! :-)

What makes something a living thing? To be called a living thing, an item must have once eaten, breathed and reproduced. A dead animal or plant is considered a living thing even though it is not alive. Our coastal temperate rainforest is full of living and non-living things which interact to create a complete and stable ecosystem. When one tree dies and falls over, it becomes a home and provides nutrients for other living things. We call a fallen log with new plants growing on it a nurse log.

Living components of a forest include:

plants (e.g. trees, ferns, mosses)

animals (e.g. mammals, birds, insects, reptiles, amphibians)

fungi

bacteria

Nonliving things in a forest include:
