First Aid Kit - AMK Ultra Light .3
Whether you create your own first-aid kit from supplies from home, or take a ready-made one such as this, just be sure to take something to patch yourself up when on the trail.

A simple cut, blister or burn is much more problematic when out in the woods, so be prepared for at least some basic protection. And rest assured, something will happen - you'll get attacked by a thorn bush; bang your shin on a rock; irritate a wasp; or get eaten by a bear. This little pack can help with 3 out of every 4 problems. We like this kit because it covers the basics and only weighs in at 3 ounces.
