FAQs

What medical equipment should I bring on a long alpine expedition?

Medical kits are extremely dynamic and diverse, and only you will know exactly what to bring on your adventure. In saying that, alpine explorers' most common injuries are cuts and grazers from sliding and falling, as well as sprains and strains of the knees and ankles. For superficial cuts and grazers, antiseptic solution is a must have, as wounds can become infected incredibly quickly.
