Objective: You must pack light due to the intensity of the trip, which also means you must pack smart. One of the most important items which you will have to pack is a "Safety and Survival Kit". This kit must be functional enough to assist in the aid of a variety of emergencies, but compact enough to store in your backpack. The size of your kit is a SMALL duffle Bag - approximately 24" X 24".

- Your group must design a safety/survival kit containing at least 25 items in order to get you safely through a week-long excursion.
- Your survival kit will differ in many ways from another group based on the location of your trip. Geographical and environmental factors will play a major role in the design of your kit. Some items might be typical first aid items, while others may be more specific items that relate to your geographical location.
