Emergency kit.—This must be more than a first-aid kit, for the ski mountaineer may often be called on for "second" aid, for building a fire in adverse weather, or for repairing equipment. The kit should be as complete as ingenuity can suggest but must be small enough to be carried at all times when the skier is at all removed from help. A small kit of essentials that is always carried is of far more value than a kit so complete and cumbersome that it is left behind. A suggested list of items is as follows: Matches in waterproof case Tincture of merthiolate Large firemaking candle Tannic or picric acid for burns |
