I know an Alaskan bush pilot who said "what you have in your pockets and on
your back are your survival kit, anything else is extra".

Keep those seat covers.


Actually, we keep cold-weather survival gear in the plane all winter.

With temps already in the low-teens, it's a necessity.

Similarly, I have read much of the Vietnam era books by
fast-/slow-mover and helo drivers. Their saying was, "if it isn't on
you, it won't get out of the aircraft with you. I have started wearing
a fishing vest with the basics stashed in the pockets.
