Common questions about this kit
EpiPen / emergency meds?
Yes if anyone has a known allergy or condition — an EpiPen (and knowing how to use it) and personal Rx meds in the kit. On a remote trip, the pharmacy is days away.
Hypothermia kit?
Yes in the backcountry — a bivy sack, a heat-reflective blanket, and dry insulation layers treat the number-one killer (exposure) of an injured person waiting for rescue.
Blister and foot care?
Yes — on a multi-day trip, a blister ends the trip; a foot-care kit (Leukotape, moleskin, alcohol prep) prevents and treats. The boring kit that saves the expedition.
Satellite messenger?
Yes — in a real backcountry emergency it is the only way to reach rescue. Carry it, know how to use it, and keep it charged. The kit treats; the messenger gets the patient out.
User Reviews
Wilderness first-responder kit and my backpacking kit share the EpiPen-and-sat-messenger gospel — the kit treats, the messenger gets the patient out. Blister care saves the expedition, agreed.
