Day hike, overnight backpacking, car camping, cold-weather and wet-weather — each with what to wear, a tap-to-check packing list, a quick recipe, and what to do when caught without the right layer.
Conditions Helper
A working spreadsheet. Pick your trip type and the weather; it returns the layering list.

Quick hacks, smart shortcuts, survival skills, emergency response and multi-use kit.

Why the two halves belong together
Packing well is what stops most problems from starting. Knowing what to do is what stops the remaining ones from getting worse. Sold separately they each leave a gap: a perfect packing list does nothing for you at the moment something goes wrong, and a survival deck does not stop you arriving cold and wet in the first place.
Who this is for
Beginners and families heading somewhere fairly normal — a campsite, a marked trail, a weekend in the hills. Scout groups and youth leaders who want something to do round a fire that isn't a lecture. If you already teach this for a living, you don't need it.
What it isn't
It isn't a wilderness medicine manual and it isn't a substitute for a first aid course — the emergency cards are memory aids for people who have been taught this material, not a way to learn it cold. It also deliberately doesn't teach you to identify wild plants or mushrooms: deadly and edible species look alike, field tests don't reliably work, and a healthy adult can go a long time without food. That card tells you to leave it alone, and explains why.
A note on fire and local rules
Several cards involve flame. Fire rules vary enormously by region and season, and in many places open fires are banned outright for part of the year. Check before you light anything.
