First Aid/Survival Kit, what do you carry?   Message List

RE: [Aushiker] First Aid/Survival Kit, what do you carry?

Hi Mark

I look at this way ... how much does my life or someone else's life weigh?

In PBW we prefer all walks to be a minimum of four people. This is because
if someone gets injured, one person can stay with them, two can walk out.
This however assumes that those other members are capable of walking out on
their own.

Regards
Andrew

Cool, fixomull I forgot, carry a that also,

I don't use an EPIRB only because of the weight, I guess if you were doing
lots of solo hiking it would be a must
