There are many products that will get you through an emergency overnight stay in the forests of British Columbia. The reason for the unexpected night out could be from getting lost on a day hike to running out of gas or having your vehicle break down on one of the many british columbia forest service roads.
Listed below is what I have in my back pack when I go for any day hike. I also use the same pack for my 24 hour Search and Rescue pack. In other words it is stocked well enough to ensure I could help another individual conquer hyperthermia or level one first aid incidents.
I will discuss why I chose each of these items in following posts. If you have questions for me please visit www.TracksAndTrails.ca and use the contact form to send me your question.
