YOU WONT BELIEVE: Is it time to give your hiking first aid kit a safety check - What They Never Told You

Lifesystems first aid kit

I’m going to be honest here, I technically “have” a hiking first aid kit that comes with me on all of my hikes but I haven’t seen it in years. It’s somewhere in the darkest recesses of my hiking backpack, and despite the fact that my hiking boots see a lot of miles on the trail, I rarely open it.

If I do get it wrong when I’m scrambling and end up with a big gash on my hand, or sprain my ankle, I’m pretty sure I’ve got the tools for a temporary fix, but like I said, I haven’t actually visually verified this assertion in quite some time.
