you hey I'm Ethan and this is the Nepal 75 the most spacious backpacking pack we offer this pack is designed for extended travel and those epic week-long trips in the backcountry starting with the harness system we added contoured shoulder straps for comfort and balance a padded hip belt to support the load a mesh back panel and an adjustable sternum strap the fabric we use for the pack is a blend of 210 d ripstop nylon with a high density 630 D nylon bottom panel this makes the nopal super durable and weather resistant while keeping the weight to a minimum the cavernous main compartment is built to hold all your gear and then some and it's butterfly opening gives you the quick access to everything inside you also have the option of zipping off the lower section to create a separate compartment for your sleeping bag for short day hikes the packs internal hydration sleeve doubles as a lightweight backpack this colorful pack is part of our del dia collection which means it's made for M that fabric and no two are alike additionally there are configurable side compression straps a top rope compression strap and attachments for your ice axe and trekking poles while the included rain cover protects the pack in foul weather for items you need to grab on the fly we added two zippered pockets along the front a side water bottle sleeve and two zippered pockets within the removable top lid the Nepal 75 liter backpack is proudly made in our Factory in the Philippines and it's the pack you can count on for those long remote trips in the backcountry you the flash FL is the largest most livable tent in the Sierra Designs line it's a free-standing two-door tent with two gear closets when we designed the flash FL tanks we wanted to find the right balance of being lightweight and also having enough room for two people one of the first things you notice about the flash FL is that we've replaced the traditional vestibule with an awning and an awning provides a couple of benefits first of all it makes getting into and out of the tent very easy the second benefit of the awning is because of this overhang in front of the door it allows me to leave this panel this window wide open at all times so I have better ventilation and better visibility gear storage on the flash FL tent has been moved from in front of your door to the side of the tent where it belongs you have access to these gear closets from the outside by lifting this line lock you can slide your pack underneath otherwise from the inside of the tent you can access it through the gear boards the flash FL features one-piece construction and what I mean by that is the fly in the tent body are connected together the other thing you'll notice is that the poles are on the outside of the tent so the combination of one-piece construction and having the poles on the outside of the tent mean that setup is fast but it's also dry setup so that when you set up during a rainstorm the inside of your tent remains dry the flash FL is available in two sizes a two person and a three person so you can choose the right size for your next adventure you you everyone knows you should bring a first aid kit on every adventure but what should be in it we went straight to the experts at Knowles wilderness medicine to find out these are the ten most important things no kit should be without medical gloves first aid can be messy so bring some gloves to help the wound stay clean and keep you safe from bodily fluid an irrigating syringe full of purified water is the best way to clean out a wound get one with a small tip for lots of pressure when you squeeze the water out if you get a splinter or need to pick debris out of a wound a pair of tweezers is the only thing that'll do the job bring a tube of antibiotic ointment it's easier to work with in individual packets hydrogel base bandages are perfect for dressing wounds in the backcountry they have a super strong adhesive they keep wounds and blisters moist to help them heal faster and they're clear so you can keep an eye on things make sure to bring a variety of sizes there are lots of different kinds of blister treatments out there we recommend these strips of smooth thin stretchy kinesiology tape they're great for keeping a hot spot from becoming a blister or keeping a blister dressing in place you'll also want a variety of regular bandages for smaller cuts and scrapes and bring gauze for bigger wounds pay a little extra money for the nonstick does trust us it'll be worth it when you take it off you want at least one full roll of athletic tape for taping sprains or building splints or just to hold a wound dressing in place use elastic wrap to support sprained joints apply pressure to wounds or as part of a splint it's reusable and easy to adjust and more comfortable than tape always bring any personal prescription beds but you also want over-the-counter antihistamines to handle allergic reactions and some pain relievers and anti-inflammatories always follow the dosing directions on the package these ten things create a great first aid kit to bring four basic outings but always consider what else and how much you may need for the length of your trip the terrain or who's going with you
