I guess that this is a group safety sack, Mr H? Do your colleagues rely on you carrying this kit when you're caving, or do they all carry similar or complementary items? And, last question, how do you find this when you're doing srt trips with rope bags?
My contribution to this discussion would be:
1. decide what the requirements of the trip are
2. decide what you can't improvise or easily borrow in the cave**
3. carry what you need having considered 1 & 2
I'm surprised that no one has said much about drugs (!). You can improvise a sling, or a wound dressing; but if someone slices their palm on a sharp flake, for instance, you can't improvise pain relief...
**my basic list of non-improvisables - appropriate protection from the environment if immobilised, analgesics, ability to cut, fast, materials such as rope or clothing
Anyone want to rant about the number of spare lights you need per team?
