Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

Being prepared in the woods is great. But it's heavy. If you're trying to cut out the pounds, the 10 to 15 essentials can really weigh you down. Providing a balance between the  important, conflicting goals of preparation and weight, Adventure Medical Kits, maker of all types of first aid and survival kits, will be introducing a Light and Fast first aid series this spring. The kits use lighter materials and multi-function first aid items to cut down the weight. They also speed the first aid process for users by intuitively grouping items and instructions together by injury type, so that they're easier to access and put to work. The kits will be available in three different sizes, 1-4-man, 4-day Adventurer ($38.00), 1-3-man, 3-day Trail ($26.00) and 1-2-man, 2 day Personal ($18.00).
