Hey Trish, thanks for submitting the list of essential items to carry out
there. I always take sunglasses and carry a bandana. Bandanas have multiple
purposes...a headband/sweat rag, a filter for water, and once I used one to
wrap around my leg when I had a mountain bike accident and sliced my leg. We
always carry a first aid kit in case of emergencies, too. Once in a remote
area of the Grand Canyon ( Soap Creek) a friend sliced her finger deeply
while whittling a stick. We were able to treat her, but she still passed
out. The finger remained infection free. I could give several accounts of
backcountry experiences, but that's enough for now. You just never know and
should always be prepared.
