Medical
The kit for you. The kit for the person you find.
What belongs here
M1 covers two kits, not one. The kit that keeps you alive between the incident and evacuation. And the kit you deploy for the driver you find in a freezing ditch.
The field lesson
Wilpena dehydration and the Seward roadside - medical and tools stop being separate modules in the field.
Pressure-test the module
Four questions before departure.
- 01
Do you carry the trauma essentials - tourniquet, pressure dressing, chest seal?
- 02
Is your kit accessible in seconds, not minutes?
- 03
Have you taken a wilderness first-aid course in the last 3 years?
- 04
Do you know the nearest hospital and evacuation route for every leg?
Assessment

Trauma kit accessible, second kit for others, training current, evac plan per leg.
