Excellent SAR pack/kit. I do have a few questions though...just curiosities
1-why 2 head lamps-you already have spare flashlights
2-why so many knives...i know we all have the usual 2 or 3, but you listed 5....is that not a lot of extra weight for SAR
3-you double up a lot on bandanas, chem lights, lenghts of paracord..etc. .
4 you also list the large personal surv kit.........which triples some of the items carried
5 being pre, as well as a hospital provider..........I would like to see your personal preferences for ALS SAR gear carried
-now here are my thoughts...........i back up you completely on your choices...., Im just as bad............probly even worse on some items, but I would like to hear your comments on the "whys" of some of your choices in gear, numbers of, and particular applications for/uses
-again, excellent work.........it gave me inspiration (once again) to re calculate my needs and update my various packs
-i , like yourself, frequently re assess my needs and constantly tweek my equipment to make it the best possible for my peronal use, i also tend to employ the -all kits link together practice.....so wether im trekking , extended backpacking, working as a nurse, or simplly running "walmart" errands....my kit can expand, as well as break down as simple as a pocket EDC up to the mother load backpacking adventure!
