First Aid Kits

 It would be helpful to know what is inside each kit ?Dependent upon how long you

will be away as to what you need.

Two essential items of kit and that are easy to carry are half a roll mat and a plastic bivvy bag (or better - group shelter). In the worse case scenario when your casualty has to sit out and wait for the Mountain Rescue Team to turn up it could be the wet and cold that threaten life. Other good kit - gloves, triangular bandages, and a sam splint.

First aid kit choice often depends on where I'm going, what I'm doing and who's going with me.  I carry a Lifesystems Mountain Leader or Mountain Leader Pro for work, but a very small cut down version in my own pack when not at work.
