    6. What do folks carry in their hiking/backpacking/camping first aid kits these days?

      In the same vein as my thread a few months ago about flashlights, in which I was incredulous that the world has moved on from alkaline batteries to lithium, the Boy Scout in me reminds me I'm an idiot every time I go out for a hike with my anemic first aid kit.

      One specific thing I'm curious about is that when I go to REI or other outdoorsy stores, I see the first aid aisle has all sorts of options for tourniquets, wound packing, etc., etc. Are people actually carrying that stuff with them, or is it all kind of a gimmick?

      My nightmare is to be out hiking, have myself or someone I'm with get injured, and be like "well, we might've been able to save your life/limb if we just had XYZ item no one wanted to buy/carry".

      If anyone has advice, guides on putting together a kit, or recs for good little bags to pack everything in, I'm all ears!

      Week 2 Recap

      11 participants played 9 bingo cards and moved 28 games out of their backlogs!

      Team Mellow

      Team Motivated

      All but one are listed above.

      u/Wes

      Is he still Mellow? Or did he join the Motivateds?

      He played three different games, which seems very motivated...

      ...but mellow is also a state of mind, a pace, a vibe that he rolls with.

      So the question lingers: with whom will he stand?

      Answer: u/Wes remains on Team Mellow

      Who will come out on top? Which team will reign supreme? What metric will we even use to determine what counts as a win? STAY TUNED.
