In this episode of EMS on the Mountain, Sean and Mike discuss first aid kit planning for the lay responder. They provide advice on how to build or evaluate a first aid kit for day hiker backpackers, as well as how to apply the same knowledge outside of the wilderness to a home or car first aid kit. The considerations discussed include volume (how many people is it for?), activity (what are you doing?), and training level (what is your skill/training level?). Topics covered also include bleeding control, minor injuries, general illnesses such as diarrhea and coughs.
