"I am going to talk a little bit now about first aid kits. See this one here? Not a backpacking one. This one is way too heavy but for larger group's I can see maybe using this one. But really you want to go for the smaller ones. You don't want to have a whole medicine chest in your pack and have to carry it all that way. You want to double up things a triangular bandage that would be in a first aid kit really would only be a bandanna. So what you want to look for in a first aid kit small light maybe some water proofing to it but you can pretty much just assemble it. Any premade one you?re probably going to have to adapt. When you look at it here is a personal here?s a trail made by Adventure Medical Kits there kind of the same first aid kit but the only difference is how much of the stuff that they have in there. So the personal ones going to have fewer medications fewer bandages. Trail is going to have more. What?s the line of thought? The line of thought is if you get hurt on day one your going to have to maintain through out it the entire trip. So the longer the trip you might need a little more bandages or medications. If you have any questions give your local outfitter a holler."
