Emergencies can happen while you are in the wilderness.  Improve your odds of getting back home safely and with minimal discomfort by packing an emergency backpack kit. You can adapt your basic kit to whatever risks your adventure calls for.  Be sure to review your entire emergency kit before you head into the wild to make sure you are prepared in case you or someone else has an emergency and needs attention.

COMPLETE SHOW NOTES HERE

Unpleasant emergencies can be brought about by:

• Sudden change in weather

• Getting injured

• Getting lost

• Getting delayed and unexpectedly having to spend the night in the wild

• Running out of water

Before you head out, assess your situation to determine how extensive your emergency kit should be.  There is always a trade off between weight and necessity.  Get the scoop on what to pack for your outdoor adventures on today's show.
