We,
Creepin' Jeepers, carry an Afro Pic comb for removing Cholla buds from various
parts of our anatomy; also a hemostat and magnifying glass.
Hey
Kelly, Sounds like you have a few good stories to tell....we can swap
sometime! Each person will always personalize what they carry, like I said, as
long as the survival areas are covered.....No list is the "only" right list,
but a few items are essential no matter what. Trisha Jeakell@aol.com wrote:
Hey
Trish, thanks for submitting the list of essential items to carry out
there. I always take sunglasses and carry a bandana. Bandanas have
multiple purposes...a headband/sweat rag, a filter for water, and once I used
one to wrap around my leg when I had a mountain bike accident and sliced my
leg. We always carry a first aid kit in case of emergencies, too.
Once in a remote area of the Grand Canyon ( Soap Creek) a friend sliced her
finger deeply while whittling a stick. We were able to treat her, but
she still passed out. The finger remained infection free. I could
give several accounts of backcountry experiences, but that's enough for
now. You just never know and should always be prepared.
