In my small day backpack I have a complete first aid kit and I could spend the night in the forest if I had to. Where I intend to go cycling there's a good chance there won't be cell service (unless things have drastically evolved recently) making phoning for help a bit difficult.
yes, a small first aid kit is cool.
I broke my elbow on a trip, in the woods, I think it was 2012, no phone reception, no city close, it was late, spent the night in the tent with Ibuprofen,
some serious pain after the Ibuprofen effect was gone. In the morning I took two more and cycled aprox 3h to a city and hospital.
My friend broke his femur on a trip in Rumania, some serious pain, in the woods, no phone reception. I cycled aprox 2h to get phone reception, and waited there for the ambulance. attach a picture of his hip
left after surgery in Romania. Right 5 years later they replaced the screws.
Anything can happen anytime.
There is also this stuff, I used it for some years, when being alone for a long time off civilisation.
