First Aid, Communication, & your "Oh Shit Kit"

Rocky Talkie Mountain Radio by Rocky Talkie — Rope tug this, rope tug that. Screaming at the top of your lungs while the wind whips, the highway screams, other climbers shout, and your partner never knows to leave the belay. The Rocky Talkies are the #1 classic radios, and live in my kit. They are not only great for communication with your partner, but have saved my butt before to contact a transport while bailing in the backcountry.
Mountain Series Medical Kit - Day Tripper Lite by Adventure Medical Kits — Smaller kit perfect for light weight objectives, and to live in your pack. A ziplock of bandaids does not count as a kit.
Mountain Series Medical Kit - Backpacker by Adventure Medical Kits — The next level up from the previous. Its bulkier, heavier, and you probably don't need all of tis all the time. For overnights, backpacking trips, larger backcountry objectives.
BeFree AC 1.0L Microfilter by Katadyn — The easiest, lightweight, dependable water filter. I have gotten Giardia, and I now take my filtration very seriously. This filter fits in a pack so easily you don't even notice it. It is my go-to
Piranha Knife (Climbing Knife) by Backcountry — This knife is compact, lightweight, and always feel secure on my harness. Whether is an emergency, cutting off some old tat, or giving a good ole fashion cliffside haircut. This is the climbing knife you want.
Skin Protector Balm w/ Zinc SPF30 | Skin Protection Creme | Moisturizing Skin Balm by Dermatone — The winter temps will get you worse than the sun. Wind, cold, everything in between. Dermatone is the ONLY option. Its thick, protective layer will protect you from the elements everyday in the cold season.
