As someone married to a type 1 diabetic I keep these in my vehicles with my 1st aid kit at all times. We have had to use the powder on more than one occasion. Could also help with someone who is in shock. I would suggest also adding some Benadryl as well to the first aid kit.

Thanks to everyone contributing and willing to help those in need. Living in the city you get lulled into believing help is right around the corner. I generally try to stay in my lane but there have been numerous times when something as simple as going to the park has turned into helping someone out. I find the best tool to use is your head, staying calm under pressure and finding solutions to problems. Good luck to everyone

Reading this site for the last 5 years, I find it amazing how many of us have recovery gear, tools, and first aid gear, not just for us, but for others as well.

There are still people out there doing good things everyday, going in noticed, while negativity and controversy lead the news and pop culture.

As others have stated it is a balance of equipment and training. Training includes personal emergency response skills and technical training with your equipment. Emergency responders can often act without thinking because of their extensive training. You should practice rigging you rescue equipment. You don't to be in an emergency situation and be all thumbs. As for an equipment list, follow the suggestions of the knowledgeable people on this forum.

I suggest CPR, basic first aid and for back country users wilderness first aid. Wilderness first aid was a great all day learning experience with a mix of classroom and outdoor role playing. I used it once when a fellow hiker had a severe leg laceration at over 12,000 ft. while hiking in the wilderness. Lots of blood, but she made it to the ER a few hours later.

For the ultimate oh crap moments in emergency response you should be trained in basic use of ropes and have the ability to repel down a steep slope especially if you wheel in mountainous terrain.

For me I would primarily be repelling down corn stalks haha!

It's amazing to me how many people can't tie even the most simple, effective knots. If you have rope and 550 cord (and you should), take some time and learn to tie a few knots. Square, bowline, taughtline, truckers knots, etc.

I have this nifty little guide in my camping supplies tub. I'll use it to practice knot tying at my tent site. Hanging up a laundry line between two trees with 550 cord (the real thing) usually reminds me to do so.

Sometimes, when I'm watching a movie or something, I'll sit with a foot long piece of 550, and practice tying various knots that i know, or figure other ones out. It's kinda like a fidget device for me.
