Hi there I'm a Product Designer, currently working on a project regarding first aid kits/emergency packs, revolving around Hiking.

I was wondering if anyone could answer a few of these questions:

I was researching into the most common injuries when Hiking, I found out:

Blisters
Skins injuries
Joint injuries
Insect bites
Sunburn
Dehydration

Could anyone confirm or disregard these? Or also add more in?

Also.

When it comes to a FAK or Emergency Pack. What are the key features, you would say?

For example, lightweight, durability. What sort of materials would be used? The size of the product? If there is anything else, that anyone can think of, please don't hesitate to add them in.

Lastly.

Do you go out in groups, when Hiking or do you go individually?

Who are you?
What do you do as a living?
Where are you from?
When do you go Hiking?
Why do you go Hiking?

Hope anyone can answer these,

Kindest regards,

Jordan McDaid.
