hi, what do you suggest to include in a FAK for a 2 days backpacking? i need it to be lightweight.
the path is always close to villages and roads, so if there is an emergency, help will be there soon.note: this is an emergency FAK, i usually carry with me some pills (headache, stomach problems).
also, i think i need a refresh about basic dressing:
the England flag, the Russian-something-arterial-tourniquet (the one you use a stick to tighten the knot) and the 2 other dressings with cloth strips (one to be used directly at the wound, and one that can be used as an arterial tourniquet without snapping the bones of the patient).
is there any video guide about it?besides of that i remember it all very clear.
p.s
AHA! the the arterial tourniquet i couldn’t remember it’s name – it’s called in hebrew “the dutch arterial tourniquet”, hope it’s the same in english.To get some ideas go to http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/ and maybe build your own.
Several bandaids, guaze pads, moleskin, ointment, wipes, and meds ect found in a cheap 10 buck fak. Like this http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/product.php?catname=Ultralight / Watertight&prodname=Ultralight / Watertight .3 – 2010 Edition&product=238.Lee

Here’s one of my FAK’s specifically designed for hiking: http://zombiehunters.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=63017
For a prepacked kit I would suggest atleast either a AMK Ultralight .7 or .9
http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/products.php?catname=Ultralight / Watertight&cat=3
And if you really feel the need for a tourniquet, consider the SWAT-Tourniquet http://www.swattourniquet.com/ because it can also be used as an ACE bandage for sprains.

If you’re hiking for the first time in a while then: moleskin, moleskin and more moleskin!
You can improvise a bandage, dressing or tourniquet out of a lot of things, but you can’t improvise moleskin (well).
Check out this kit while you’re at it.
