I can say with 100% surety that at least the Blackhawk crew had their full compliments of ALSE SOP gear on board and most likely, shared what they had. Stuff is usually packed in an aviators kit bag and weighs a considerable amount. Being familiar with aviation assets at Wainwright, they never fly without them. Civilians should know better and always do the same, whether it's an A/C, a car or any other conveyance that could leave them stranded, during any season, up there in the great white north.
