    Comments about Adventure Medical UltraLight .5 Medical Kit:

    Slipped on Guye Peak (not in one of the scary exposure sections thankfully) and had the debris picked out of the gash, cleansed, and bandaged with antibiotics within 5 minutes of the injury. This kit has enough to cover 1-2 person dayhikes, but I wouldn't rely on it for extended trips or to be the only source of first aid for 3+ people. Super light and great variety of supplies considering it's size and weight.

        Comments about Adventure Medical UltraLight .5 Medical Kit:

        I bought this for a 3 week running trip to Patagonia. We were in a group and didn't need to bring "everything" but needed some essentials during a 4 day circuit accessible only by foot and horse back. I added a few things to this to make it complete for what I needed and the waterproof envelope it comes in is great.

        Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
