I love how it ends by cutting off the most important part " One of the most important things is the chance of shock, in that even you want to...." It's like a man on his deathbed saying "I hid $1,000,000 right next to the....."

Seriously people. If you want a serious first aid kit idea look up nutnfancys first aid video's. He covers it a LOT better.

if you think its to much "hassle" then safety is not on your mind at all it does not take long to put on together yourself

I don't think he was trying to say, hey, when you get a cut reach for the manual. I think he was more talking about less everyday situations that might require you or your hiking partners to actually need a reference point in order to help the person(s) injured.

You're obviously right about the calming down aspect... it's beyond vital.

make sure you get the mole skin in pre cut little sections, it's a real bitch to cut the sheets

um when u get into a first-aid situation u dont have time to read a manual. seriously you got to slow down, breath, do basic till you can get goin serous (If its a cut apply pressure, breath and once your head is clear, act)

Bring something for diaper rash, too. Ask any mother!

Know the signs of hypothermia and heat exhaustion/dehydration. Leave the snakebite kit at home. The most important thing to bring is between your ears. Wear long pants and shirts or bring band-aides and deep woods off. Upstate NY or NE, bring the head net for black flies.
