Sharing a good find with you

I found this first aid kit on Amazon a couple weeks ago and picked it up.  I like to have some sort of first aid kit with me when I go off hiking or my photography excursions.  The problem is, the good kits are usually huge and take up so much space.  The smaller ones that I have seen usually skimped on something and just full of Bandaids and 'fillers'.  This new kit I picked up, is small and very complete for it's size.  

IMO, a great find.  www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HGSLB6K/ref...00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I keep it attached to back of my back pack:

Good stuff, I'm gonna get one. I also carry a satellite beeper. My son got me one, as I'm more likely to fall off a cliff or suffer a bear attack. I activate it if injured and they'll come find my body.....:)

Why so serious?

This thread is reminding me to take a look at my kit, and see how much of it is expired. I have sutures in mine too. I got them from a plastic surgeon friend of mine that I showed he, and his son around the northern Az hunting spots. Yeah having kits is a thing that most people do not take when hiking, sometimes to their determent.
I figure if the lord is willing I will die in some canyon in northern Az, and someone will run across my bones finding my camera. I just hope I got some good shots for them to enjoy.

Wow, that looks pretty compact considering the amount of supplies packed inside. Not a bad price, either!

Hey that's cool, does that require a subscription?

You're in Arizona?  You have some crazy impressive landscapes out there.  Are you near all the rock formations?

Well that works!  When you get out, are you going for long hikes?  Saturday, I hiked up Trabuco Canyon, in hopes to find the creek flowing.  Wishful thinking.  That was a dry hike.

I depends on my knees (one is real bad now), and lately they haven't allowed me any rough hiking. When I'm accompanied I get a lot braver. Usually take more chances in summer and fall.....

I'll have to get one of those kits. Since both my wife & I have iPhones, we can easily find each other with the "find my phone" feature. I haven't been out shooting much lately due to a case of Cervicalgia

Looks sweet. I think i'll pick it up.
