THE MEDICAL / SAFETY PACK

Part 9 of 10 in Pack for the Mission.

Most expedition problems do not begin as emergencies. They begin as small issues that are easy to ignore: a blister, dehydration, sun exposure, a minor wound, stomach upset, a forgotten medication, a dead battery, or darkness arriving before the route is finished.

A medical and safety pack is built for early correction. Personal medications, blister tape, wound care, antiseptic wipes, elastic wrap, oral rehydration salts, sunscreen, lip balm, headlamp, spare batteries, whistle, emergency blanket, phone or radio, GPS, power bank, and basic first-aid tools all have a role.

This is personal first-line support, not a replacement for guide judgment or expedition medical planning. Kordillera guides carry group safety systems, but each traveler still needs the essentials that keep small problems from becoming large ones.

Pack the small things before they become big things.
