MTB First Aid. Brave Soldier Crash Pak

After I punched a rock in testingNiners Jet 9 in San Gabriel Mountains, Brave SoldersCrash Pak was my first aid kit. My right shin was broken by the impact and blood started to flow out. It felt like I had punched my water pack liner with an Allen wrench. To close the gap, I used my finger to press for about a minute. Plan B was to ride up to Ryan Cleek, a fellow MBA editor, to seal the wound before shock sets in. Brave Soldiers’ Crash Pakfirst Aid Kit is light and practical

Ryan gave me a Brave Soldier Crash Pak before I could reach into my CamelBak to find my first aidstash. It was perfect for a trailside repair of a leg. The mylar packet was slim and heavy-duty, which doubled as a work surface. It also contained high-quality medical supplies. To clean the wound, I used antiseptic cleansing wipes and a surgical sponge to stop the bleeding. The hole was sealed with an adhesive strip and a butterfly closure. Brave Soldier Crash Paks can be easily stored in a water bag, or even a jersey pocket. The sealed packaging is strong enough to withstand any punishment.
