What’s in an AdventureMed medical kit? Let’s look!

As we know, no perfect medical kit exists for every situation. This kit was specifically built for our Cirque Series WFR volunteers. With that in mind, this bag is designed for a day trip, where ski patrol is nearby for more complex or serious cases, and where potential patients include the 500 runners completing a mountain race.

Home to the Makah Indian Tribe, Neah Bay has some of the most beginner friendly waves in the PNW. When not at Hobuck beach, Cape Flattery offers stellar views of the coast after a short hike.

Surfing is not the most common water based sport, but understanding ocean currents, marine wildlife, and drowning prevention are all hallmarks of wilderness medicine. And as an added bonus, surfing in Washington brings an extra challenge: cold. Afterall, the best time to catch waves out here is in the middle of winter.
