Hi All,
My daughter is working for an outfitter in Zion NP. She will be canyoneering, hiking, outback stuff, etc. and therefore I want a small enough Trauma type EDC that she can easily grab and take with her. If it it too big, she’s small, she’ll leave it. I have decided on a Maxpedition M-1 waist pack as the pouch, so that’s the size. I have also decided to buy the SPOT Gen 2 Emergency Locator Beacon for sending in the helicopters. The FAK, in my mind will be a trauma type, i.e. Snake bites, falls, broken something’s, bleeding, etc. It doesn’t have to be a survival kit the SPOT will hopefully take care of that. Just need a ‘keep alive’ type kit. The SPOT and a 2.5×3.75x.90 tin will probably take up the entire front outsize compartment. The main compartment is big enough for two 5.5×3.5×1.0 tins.
I intend to buy a 35″x35″, JingleBobs bandana in a bright signaling color for her to wear, for sun protection and for use as a tourniquet. I will also buy blood clot, and use non-stick bandages with duct tape for bleeding wounds. I have bought the Coghlan’s snake bite kit, couldn’t find anything better. I have bought some 1/32oz triple antibiotic ointment packs, Benzalkonium towelettes, iodine wipes, non-stick bandages, Katadyn water purifier tablets, regular condoms for water storage/purification to clean the wound, and a double size Heatsheets survival/signaling blanket. I also bought her a Bark River Bravo necker for her carry.
Now the reason for the post, what else should I get for a trauma kit, and what else will fit into the M-1 Waistpack? With whatever room is left I could add some everyday needs, moleskin, zinc oxide, aspirin, etc. What say the group? Any help would be appreciated.
