So I wanted to drop a few insights for those who will be out hiking and camping now that warm weather is here.
1- Always carry a first aide kit A.K.A. IFAK more importantly know how and when to use what is inside.
You can make your own kit up and simply vac seal it.
At a minimum 1 ace bandage, 1 roll of athletic tape, 2 tourniquets , 6 large gauze pads, Antibiotic ointment, aspirin, Tylenol, large and small band aides, bleed stop and hydrocortisone
2 - two water containers one of which is metal and can be used to boil water. A metal cup, A life straw, Cheese cloth to filter as much crud from the water as possible before boiling then drinking with the life straw.
3- three was to make fire
4- a good poncho or 8'x8' shelter tarp with tie out lines
5- a good whistle to signal with
6- map and compass
The rest is up to you
