My mini, mighty and emergency first aid kits

Emergency and survival are terms thrown around quite a bit in the outdoors. What those words mean to different people is based a lot on experience and life lessons taught the hard way.

I know much of my personal kit has been refined and defined by the circumstances I’ve found myself in.
