As a Remote Medical International educator, I always carry a proper first aid tackle with me when traveling. No matter where we work or adventure, the bare minimum in our first aid accoutrements should include the tools to control bleeding, support breathing, and perform CPR. I've had the occasion to put my tackle to use lately, traveling Kauai’s Kalalau Trail. This rugged trail that traverses along the steep escarpments of the Na’pali Seacoast. The lure of this trail is the paradise sand setting, but one must first make it through flash cataracts zones and slick, muddy trail. My mate, Ben, and I had planned a 4- day backpacking trip in the area.
Unfortunately, not far into the hike, Ben demurred a gemstone with his Chaco-clad bottom. Sure enough, there was quite the avulsion of skin atop his big toe and the nail was fraudulent backward. Our biggest concern also came guarding the crack from infection. We snappily pulled out our first aid tackle to find a hype, irrigation cap, 4 × 4 reek, and athletic vid. We did the stylish we could on the scene to debride the crack using the hype and about a half liter of drinking water, also mustered a girth strong enough to repel the forthcoming country miles of the Kalalau Trail.
