[QUOTE="Peregrini, post: 52282, member: 2670"] The essentials; First the common knowledge items [COLOR=#ffcc00]First Aid kit[/COLOR]: you can build your own (more expensive but you get what you want and need and you can really build more than one this way cheaper than 1 kit) or buy a standard kit (sometimes cheaper but gives less choice). Either way be sure to have a clotting agent and supplies for larger wound management. ( Quick Clot sport available in 25 and 50 Gram and a disposable body stapler kit. All available at Cabelas) To help you decide; [URL='http://www.redcross.org/services/hss/lifeline/fakit.html']Anatomy of a First Aid Kit[/URL] (I would double this list myself) Add an AED defibrillator if you can afford it $1200 and up. [COLOR=#ffcc00]Deep Woods OFF[/COLOR] or another brand you prefer as long as it has "DEET" [COLOR=#ffcc00]Sunscreen[/COLOR] at a SPF above what you normally use.

(aspirin and aspirin substitutes, anti-diarrhea meds, etc should be a part of your first aid kit) All this should only take up about a 10X10X5 inch pack space. This is your quick-out pack.
