Video Transcript

"I feel like taking my pack off for awhile. Would you like to see what's inside it? I'll show you. First of all, this pack is a little bigger than the average day pack. Call this a day and a half pack. And, of course, one of the main things in the pack is my water. And like I say, I like a hydration bladder. Sometimes I also carry water bottles. Because when you stop to eat lunch, it's kind of nice to have the, be able to take a water bottle out. I have another layer with me. This is my fleece. If it were colder weather, I'd have even a little more. And this is my first aid kit. I like to put a first aid kit in a series of ziplocs. Because you can see through them, you can organize them a little bit, and this is something people sometimes forget to put in a first aid kit. And that's an empty ziploc. Because if you do put a band aid on somebody, it's, you got to have a place to put the garbage. Oh, this one has a few little medicinal things, like ibuprofon. I have a little sugar in here in case of a blood sugar problem. This one is my, this one I use a lot. This is for feet. So I've got moleskin, scissors, tweezers, that sort of things. So that's if you get a cactus spine, or you have blisters, that's the bag I pull for that. This is my basic band aid bag."
