Wandererste-Aid Set: an indispensable checklist

A comprehensive checklist, which you should pack in your hiking help equipment, from apps that could save your life to must-have equipment for free nature

Peter and I have a running gag that I fell off the bike in the most beautiful places in the world, from Bora Bora to the Galápagos Islands. The worst fall happened while cycling through the calm country roads of our tiny French village.

I first hit the floor with a knee, then with a hip, then with my head. Unfortunately I put my dirty fingers in my mouth to see if I had lost a tooth. I didn't have it, but it was a lot of blood. I later paid the price for this error. I not only spent the afternoon shaken by the accident, but also vomited the disgusting substance that I had drawn into my mouth.

As an additional precaution, you may want to include a satellite phone in your safety equipment. Iridium telephones have a global cover, integrated GPS, an SOS key and a push-to-talk function and can be bought or rented.

Snakebite911 ™

Platforms: Ios Prize: Free

The threat from a snake bite is not only limited to Indiana-Jones types that are boldly beaten by the Indian wilderness. Even in the relatively safe terrain in the United States, around 8,000 people are bitten every year. Living poison snakes across the country and their bites can be fatal if they are not treated.

Snakebite911 offers emergency information for the treatment of a snake bite and contains a photo library for identifying snakes. It contains a list of bids and forbidden and clears up with treatment myths that actually expose the victim to a greater risk of infection or loss of limbs (e.g. not sucking out the bite place!).

An important goal is to prevent snake bites from the outset. The app does this via the Snake Sighting Map, which enables users to display and enter snake sightings and receive advice on how to navigate through snakes inhanged. If the worst case occurs, users can use the "Hospital search" function to find the nearest hospital that is equipped for the treatment of snake bites.

It is the type of app that you don't know that you need you until you need you, so be sure and download it now. It costs nothing.
