We originally designed this kit for the talented trail builders at the Evergreen Mountain Bike Alliance here in Washington State. These men and women work remotely, felling trees and operating heavy equipment to create some of the most sought-after trails in the world. Needless today, it has a wide array of applications in the outdoors and serves as an excellent car kit. It includes the essentials of a general medical bag and has an expanded set of trauma tools to save limbs and save lives.

*A note on tourniquets: Only windlass or pneumatic tourniquets have been shown to increase survival (more information from the Wilderness Medical Society here). We have partnered with SAM Medical to provide which of these we feel to be optimal for fast application as well as ease of self-application when needed. We encourage everyone to learn more by taking a course in trauma management.
