  • I explain the contents of my 24 Hr. SAR pack, which I have used for five years as a volunteer with Central Okanagan Search & Rescue in British Columbia, Canada.
    The pack itself is the Kigali 35L made by Traverse Rescue.

    I heard something interesting years ago and I've always followed that rule. if you are ever going to use a load-bearing carabiner make sure every carabiner you carry is load-bearing.you never can tell when you're going to be in a rescue situation that turns complex and you use far more carabiners than you originally thought you'd need.

      That's a great suggestion, especially if you're working in the dark, or need to have someone else fetch your gear. Everything is just so much simpler if they're all load-bearing.

    Looks good. I like your video. For the low weight I'dd toss a couple bics into a couple freezer bags. I carry flint and steel and stuff too, but it's hard to beat the simplicity and reliability of a bic lighter.

    I would challenge you that you don’t need that many pairs of gloves
    Elastic bands degrade over time. Look for silicone bands.
    Great video.
