A backpacking medical kit for the backcountry is a necessity. In this video I show you exactly what I bring on the majority of my ultralight and lightweight backpacking trips. This ultralight backpacking gear medical med kit is the Adventure Medical Kit 5. Backpack safely safety.

So it appears that permethrin is banned since 2021 in the U.S., EU, and Canada at the least, as it has been discovered to harm the nervous system and potentially cause brain defects, especially in children… just thought I’d point that out.
“I’ve not had any traumatic incidents on the trail” … I wonder if your kit would change at all after everything that happened?
Something I’d recommend for EVERYONE is to find a Stop The Bleed course, as well as a good old fashioned Red Cross First Aid/CPR course. Easy way to save a life!!!
That wasnt gauze, it was a triangular bandage for a broken or sprained arm.
As I am a nurse it is kinda difficult NOT to pack a TON of stuff! But seriously if I need a trauma kit out in the bush, I am in deep poop! So carrying a trauma kit is just doesn’t make sense!
