Don't Wait Until It's Too Late: Why Every Trip Needs This First Aid Kit
It started with a blister. Just a tiny one. But by day three of her Appalachian Trail hike, 29-year-old Emily Reynolds had a foot that looked like it belonged in a zombie movie. The culprit? A missing first aid kit. She thought she could "wing it." Spoiler alert: she couldn’t. A 20-mile limp later and an unplanned airlift reminded her (and us all): never underestimate the basics. Especially one bright red lifesaver that could’ve changed everything.
The First Thing You Forget Is the One Thing You’ll Regret
