Revisiting First-Aid Kits

So early in the season. So much time to procrastinate—this includes putting off checking last season’s first aid kit. Early September is the time to check on such things. Don’t be beset by the inertia of the boring stuff. The last-minute-get-ready once the snow flies adds stress and opportunities to cut corners. We’d all rather be scraping storage wax off skis and smelling the hope of early-season turns rather than fiddling with organizing or resupplying a first-aid kit

Last season, THR put together an excellent series on first-aid kits. If this is all new to you, we’ll direct you to those resources. We have one kit from a guide (Gavin Hess), one from a practicing ER doc, Dr. Patrick Fink, and one from a regular (although advanced) tourer like the rest of us, Teague Holmes.
