We have a site link, sadly now dead that was geared to skiing. If I recall, a single LARGE non sticking telfa type bandage was included for the typical injuries one might suffer. My last set of cross country skis were made of proper wood and leather from Norway. I wouldn't venture to comment on contemporary gear, but the article mentioned specific tools and spare parts for field repair of bindings. I'd mention the Finnish Lahti with winter glove trigger guard and ingenious chambering assist lever I carried in Alaska. But that would start a firearms for skiers thread and get me a PM from Doug <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> We don't want to intimidate snowboarders, now do we <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
