I also put a sam splint in the very bottom of my bag. They only weigh a few Oz, pad the bottom of your bag, and can help you stabilize all sorts of fractures. Usually they need ace bandages to hold them on, but leukotape works a treat, provided you have enough, which is why I put about half a roll on each of my trekking poles just below the grip. Also leukotape is bar none the best blister prevention, feel a spot getting hot, tape it before it gets worse.

I brought my ENO hammock on a 2 week canoe trip up in the Great Lakes, 90% of our traveling time was in the canoes, the other 10% was portaging which is loading up all the gear and canoes and hiking it either a few football fields or a few miles to the next lake. Honestly I think it was worth bringing, I was completely ready to leave it at base camp, but our guide said he was fine with it and multiple others were bringing the camping chairs you showed and honestly I think in the end it was the right choice. Also the hammock doubled as a 3 person couch so that was cool. It got a lot of use during our two chill days where we took a breather or if you were me and a few others, we swam out to a rocky island and hung out there. I even remember one time I was in the hammock and there was this one guy who wasn’t in our boy-scout troop who went with us, and he asked to use my hammock. He was the only person not from my city, he was from a small 300 person town 30 minutes away. So I agreed as long as he gave me a history lesson of his town and it was cool a bunch of people gathered around and he told the story, fun times, still keep up with him occasionally.

I agree with you and I refuse to go backpacking without my chair now because the level of comfort and pain relief it can give it just so much but I think the difference is that women tend to have bigger butts (so more padding), less weight, less musscle so better posture and not as tight and sore after long days, and less strength means that it very well may be better for her to not bring a chair but for us it's a complete game changer

Electrical tape is a good thing to have in a hiking pack as well. You can use it the same way as a bandage, you can make a splint with the tape, and you can also use it to fix torn fabric to some degree.

Ty so much before I went camping with my friends I was looking for things to help us the tape was a absolute help we got lost for a few days and ended up being in the middle of nowhere for 2 days and the tape helped start fires and helped hold things together Ty so much ❤

Never hike or backpack alone. Always let someone know you're going and a general idea of your itinerary. Wear good boots, don't stand in precarious positions to take selfies or awesome pictures. It puts others in danger to come get you. Don't put stupid stuff in front of others' safety.

be careful with keeping bandaids (or similar) on for "multiple days". if possible it's best to remove them at night (or when resting/sleeping) so the area can breath and dry out. then re-apply in the morning or when you're going to reassume activity again.

Cotton fibers hold onto the bacteria & make the area a GREAT breeding material for more bacterial growth. In the Wound Care Business, there is a rule about cotton dressings: Must be changed every 24 hours, or was soaked with oozing wound drainage (exudate).

I switched out my chair for a hammock, and at first it was just that. But then I started napping on it midday (it cools you off and lulls you to sleep). After a few hikes, this seemingly innocent thing turned to an addiction and now I ditched all my normal camping gear and got a hammock sleep system. I mean, the comfort level is second to none on the outdoors! I am now ordering an Amok Draumr which is even more comfortable - the holy grail of hammocks with pads. Check it out fellas

Leukotape or LeukoPlast as we call it in india, is definitely the god of all conventionally available bandages. Never got one ripped off unless it was on purpose. (Tip: if your wound isn't too deep, get some warm water and keep the bandage applied area submerged for a minute or two and slowly start removing it in the water, also don't forget to put some Anti septic liquid in the water before starting the process, it will hurt much less while removing this way.)

Madison Clysdalee - I learned as a kid, that a good lightweight "seat" for moutain hiking is a bread bag, or a plastic grocery bag. Either can be folded small enough to fit into your back pocket and when laid out, it can protect your bum from getting wet, if the only place to sit is wet ground (and if you happen upon a patch of delicious mushrooms, you now have a bag to hold them in). =)

Thanks for the tips. I hadnt heard of toothpaste tablets. I'll have to give those a try. Here's a tip I learned recently....Do you see all those Mullein plants around you? The ones with soft, velvety leaves? I already knew they were good as toilet paper but I recently discovered a new use. Put the leaves in the bottom of your boot for added insulation and padding if needed. They work pretty good as a kind of sock if your other socks are wet or dirty.
