One of my friends was on a walk a couple of years ago when one of the party slipped and done in his ligaments. In the middle of nowhere, no phone signal and the only option was to keep him warm and calm while others went off to try and get help. Cue three hours of trying to get mountain rescue, calling in helicopter and seeing said friend air lifted off. All from a slip.

I saw at the weekend just how easy it is to go from innocent walk to a pretty dangerous environment, no winds to howling gales and the weather closing in really quickly. I had map, compass and some basic first aid but I can see how having some other basics as you've mentioned, split amongst the group, could be essential. Cheers for the pointers…and the nudge in the right direction.
