Backpack must haves

[NimbleTimbo]

I’ll admit in my 20s and 30s I didn’t carry a trauma kit but there’s no way I’d go out without it now, tourniquet / israeli bandage / etc is ounces.

One thing to add that I think is new, I always have some medium to long releasable zipties looped on my pack somewhere. I can’t even list the primary uses bc somehow they seem to get used all the time. Handy around the garage too, weigh nothing, don’t rattle.

releasable zip ties are a God-send! I agree, so many uses.

I put 5-6 of those things in my dirt bike backpack. Main reason was to be able to cinch the flat tire to the rim for the ride out.

Why didn't I think of putting a few in the bottom of my Turkey Vest!
