I thought you were going to say that given the temps where we fun, all first aid kits should include an inflatable pool (and water)! Portable AC unit |

Remember, his degree is in abnormal psychology TJ, my FIL has been married 4 times. With 2 live ins in between all of that. His current one is a as close to normal as I can hope for, given his history. However, 24 hours is the best I can hope for under one roof with them, anything more than that and I might borrow one of the tools of your trade. And I'm a fairly peaceable guy. I guess I'm saying that I feel your pain. And you're in the home stretch! One more day. If you can't make it that long, just have a good plan to hide the body. |

I think he figured out last night that she was being especially irritating. Even he was getting short with her. |

For longer stuff I also carry either a filter, a life straw or both. For the PCT run I will likely carry both. As for the location tracker. Brad and I will likely carry one. I wouldn't for the local stuff though. They are pricey, even to rent. I do always let people know where I am going though. |

Originally posted by msteiner Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by rrrunner Originally posted by Asalzwed Originally posted by rrrunner Speaking of trail running. I did my first PPA training faceplant this weekend. Aspen is usually off leash because we rarely encounter people on the trails. Well this weekend we were doing an easier trail on top of the mountain so there were more people and she was on the leash. She decided to chase a critter at about the same time I was navigating my footing on a section with lots of rocks. And down I went. Some minor cuts to the knee and a reminder that I need a first aid kit... Ahhh boy. Inevitable, but glad you are alright! At least you have a 4-legged friend to place the blame on. I used to be a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal but after spending more and more time in the backcountry I realize how important it is to take safety incredibly seriously. A first aid kit is really simple but really important.
Yeah, DH and I were discussing it. I think I'm going to start carrying a snake bite kit too. They have them at REI and they aren't expensive. Might even think about carrying that on our morning runs out in the desert. One guy said in his review that he used it for his dog so that would be good for either of us. That's an interesting topic, btw http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB124208165196508345 And while we are on it, what do you all think is absolutely necessary for a first aid/emergency kit for the trail?
I've got: emergency shelter/blanket, emergency rain poncho (might be a little redundant but worth it to me,) gauze/dressing , bandages of various sizes, blister care, athletic tape, topical antibiotic cream, ibu and acetaminophen,sunscreen tube,ziploc bag, lighter, duct tape, safety pins and zip ties. One thing I see on a lot of lists is an irrigation syringe and tweezers, but I don't have them in there. That looks like a solid list. I'm not sure if I fell and hurt myself running on a trail that I would be calm enough to use tweezers effectively. Bet Erin could put the tweezers to use. She's had a few close encounters with cacti, especially on her bike. Not sure they'd really be necessary in an emergency kit, though. As irritating as splinters/cactus spines are, they generally aren't debilitating or life threatening, at least in my experience. |

Might be a little lighter than an AC unit or a pool. |

A splinter on the bottom of your foot with 75 miles of running ahead of you might be pretty debilitating. Or maybe a tick |

Pro 6520 Bellingham, WA | Subject: RE: Mad Manatees 2015.3 CLOSED (or Poptarts? Pet pics?) Originally posted by StaceyK For those of you that run outside in low light conditions do you use a head lamp of some sort? I have reverted to walking my dogs after work so that I can run in the morning, but this is meaning that it is almost totally dark before I am done. Since I walk them along the fire trails in the back paddock there is no lighting and the ground is very rocky and uneven so I am in the market for a head lamp to ensure that neither the dogs or I fall over and break a leg, cause bags not carrying one of them home. I've been using a Magicshine MJ-886. If you wanted the brightest light that will turn night into day, at 550 lumens this thing is great. Only downside is battery life is only a few hours but it has a rechargeable battery pack. |

If I run in the dark wear a headlamp but more to be seen than to see so I'm not much help :-( To see vs be seen just pick a lamp with more lumen output (as well as taking a look at the beam distance.) Just beware in most cases this means less battery life. There are many options that are rechargeable if that is something you are interested in. |

Luckily, it was light, so I figure I'm back to running by Saturday. It is in a sleeve at the moment. Bourbon was last night, hmmm, maybe that contributed to the issue
