Absolutely. I’m a backcountry hiker and a first responder, plus I have wilderness first aid training that is a real eye opener. What we hikers think as a quick rip around the trails can turn into something life threatening quickly. As a rule of thumb, you need to carry life saving kits if you’re on a trail that requires more than 1 hour for an ambulance/first responder to get to you. Stay safe!

I have a very light rainjacket (more a wind jacket) that I always stash. Weighs next to noting but does one hell f a job keeping me warm in a storm. Also some "reflectiing underfloor insulation" (1 piece to go on my chest, and 2 pieces to go on my thighs) Further I always carry a small ziploc bag in my hip pocket with a compas, lighter, knife, bandaids, painkillers, caffeine, pen, (waterproof) paper, some money (both a Eu20 bill and some coins) an emergency gel oh and I always have some toiletpaper and a light plastic bag. When you gotta go you gotta go. I've wiped with leaves and even snow, but yeah toilet paper is a luxury (just remember to clean up after your done. Especially the toiletpaper makes a mess, hence the plastic bag). And a laminated card with ID, medical details (bloodtype mainly) with an emergency phonenumber. I usually bring my phone, but it might break (like I did last summer when I fell cycling). And that's all when I consider my bag "empty".. that's just always in there I only take it out when I wash the thing.

Great list! I’m an Aussie emergency doctor and newly back to trail running after a long break having kids. For me the first aid kit should absolutely have a compression bandage and some good quality medical fabric-style brown tape. With that you could wrap up a sprain or use in conjunction with a stick to splint a broken wrist or ankle. Some painkillers and antihistamines might be useful. Oh and please don’t forget your epipen if you have anaphylaxis (especially to bees/ insects). It seems obvious but the number of people who come in to ED who forgot to take their epipen is crazy. I definitely agree that taking a basic first aid course is a great idea. Thanks again!!

The only thing not on your list that I like to carry (and I don't totally know why) is a few extra zip lock bags of all sizes. I have never needed them up to this point but they weight almost nothing and take up very little space but I just feel like they could come in handy. Great video as always.

Essential to me is a warm hat. Im not a trail runner, but spent a lot of time in the alps. When it gets cold you loose a lot of heat through your head, a warm hat can be really light and warm (merino for instance) & glacier proof (class4) glasses if you go into the snow. Also we always take an extra compass, a map...And essential is toilet paper and anti-diarrhoa medication. Lastly for me it can be really handy to put anything you want to keep dry into vacuum bags.

Nice presentation and a great look at the new “10 Essentials”. People traveling stupid light are just headed for trouble. Your list will keep you or the injured party alive and provide a way to signal or summon help. I would move Gaiagps up on the list as it is so good for cross country travel. People use apps, not to many skilled compass users out these days. Again, great source of info - scrambler and ski patroller in the Tetons.

Great punchy video! A couple weeks ago the forecast was 14C and 1mm of rain for my 16k run. I was 8k out when it started dumping 10-20mm of rain per hour and dropped to 9C and windy. It's crazy how unpredictable this stuff can be. I could not feel and barely move my hands and my softshell was doing almost nothing. A hardshell is so important, and I like it to fit over my pack to trap more warm air.

Probably a good idea to say what's in the first aid kit. Bandaids probably not that useful compared to a roll of adhesive zinc oxide tape and some medication like aspirin is useful. Vaseline good for blisters and chafed skin. If not a tourniquet, knowing you can improvise from a belt or a strap would be useful. Very impressed you mention a proper whistle, so many skimp on this.

The live threatening anaphylaktik reaction should be treated with adrenaline (everyone who has a known history of anaphylaktik or severe allergic reaction should carry one every time of day) I only comment about that because i think a lot about what medical equipment is worth carrying when going to the outdoors and i find it quite difficult to balance between too much and too little 😅

I believe it may be different in the UK and Europe than North America. According to Wikipedia, "The recognized mountain distress signals are based on groups of three, or six in the UK and the European Schwarzwald. A distress signal can be three fires or piles of rocks in a triangle, three blasts on a whistle, three shots from a firearm, or three flashes of light, in succession followed by a one-minute pause and repeated until a response is received. Three blasts or flashes is the appropriate response." I wouldn't overthink it though.. In a true emergency, this is about notifying a response team as to your location, not communicating a specific message.

I always recommend going a little bigger, when in doubt. You can race with a pack half full, but if it’s too small you might not to able use it for bigger adventures. The new Sense Pro 10 may be a sweet spot: geni.us/wf4IJu

That’s true, although I’ve always found it more efficient to just carry a spare headlamp battery, especially since you can’t charge a headlamp while using it (at least not a Petzl).

Lol. I guess it depends on where you live. We have more than 1,600 ground search and rescue incidents here in British Columbia each year, mostly within just a few kms of downtown Vancouver. This stuff will go a long way to keeping you safe here or in any other serious mountain terrain you might encounter. Some of us learn the hard way, but we all learn eventually!
