first aid kit

I would say it depends what you want to do. If you are to stick together that one is probably enough. However, I tend to carry my own one whatever. Maybe I'm not trusting enough but I like to have my own kit.kai055 said:when i went hiking with the explorer scout group i was with, we always had 1 first aid kit between 2, now that i am goin to start hiking with a couple more people (so about 4) , should i still stick to 1 kit between 2 or have i each
ALLWAYS ALLWAYS carry your own personal first aid kit
It would be foolish to rely on someone else to be carrying one

always carry your own basic kit
but a team of 4 you could now add a team kit to be split which adds to the 4 individual kits
team kits pack more or bigger stuff ie splints etc or enviroment specific
however always train in First aid to use minimal or improvised stuff then when you do have the kits its a lot easier.
in team stuff its good to be familier with the others kits (hopefully similer if not identical anyway) and where its carried always use the persons own kit to treat them first if possible so know where it is.
