The Lightweight Explorer

The difference between finishing your day and bailing early often comes down to what you're carrying. The Lightweight Explorer weighs just 6 ounces but delivers the tools to treat injuries and keep exploring.

Whether you're navigating exposed ridgelines or pushing through dense brush, trail hazards are real. From friction blisters and small cuts to deeper wounds and twisted ankles, this kit handles what the backcountry throws at you. Trauma shears cut through fabric fast. Steri-strips and super glue close wounds when you're hours from help. Coban wrap stabilizes joints without the weight of rigid supports.

Packed with over 30 essentials in a medium Bits Bag, the kit organizes treatment supplies for quick response. Antiseptic pads and saline rinse prep wounds properly. A full medication spread—ibuprofen, acetaminophen, aspirin, antihistamine—tackles pain, inflammation, and allergic reactions, so you can manage symptoms and maintain your pace.
