Thank you for mentioning to pack your first aid for your training level.
I have a small mirror in mine. I find it more useful to get sth out of my eye than using my phone.
nice kit. I purchased a first aid pouch similar to yours but have not finished stocking it but I have a lot of the basics in there.
Slips, trip, and falls are pretty common for hikers and backpackers. I highly highly recommend adding a tensor and triangle bandage. I broke my wrist on one of my backpacking trips and was VERY thankful I had a tensor, triangle, and advil in my kit to secure and support my wrist while I packed up, hiked back out, and drove the 3.5hrs to a hospital. Also, I consider my Garmin inReach as part of my first aid kit. A must have for out of service areas.
After my first trip to the Boundary Waters, I read a harrowing story that didn’t end well for experienced canoers that had been on our same lake earlier that year. It really freaked me out, and got me fired up. I made Altoids tin emergency kits for myself and my adventure buddies, so it was small enough to put in a PFD pocket. I channeled everything I could think of that might have helped the people I read about. Emergency blanket, signal mirror, whistle, mini swiss army knife, mini flashlight, waterproof matches, aquatabs, ziplock bag, superglue, etc. The most important thing is to have the kit on your person. If it’s at home, in your glove box, or back at camp, and not on you, it won’t do any good. AND, knowing how to use what’s in there!
