Below is my first aid kit I’ve dialed in over the years and through experience including hiker with severe fall injury, myself being sick on trail, and “group” care). This is one of the things I feel that my goal is to pack for the capability I want in extended backcountry trips - and then find ways to make it lighter weight.

I really dislike super puny first aid kits, but I recognize I also pack with the capability to explore and climb and injuries such as sprained ankles or broken wrists from a fall need to be considered.

I also pack with kids and groups in mind since we do a lot of that.

Total weight: 12.75 oz.

Looking for feedback, blind spots, or recommendations.

Bag - Hilltops packs red large bag.

Mylar emergency blanket - SHADE/ warmth (people don’t tend to get hurt in convenient places), signaling

SWAT T tourniquet band (4.09oz) - can be used for blood loss of course, but really for wrapping up limbs and joints/ compressions / and improvisations.…
