Every day, thousands of government workers across Minnesota and the nation head into environments where ticks are not a distant concern – they are an occupational reality. Park rangers, conservation officers, road crews, utility workers, forestry teams, county surveyors, wildlife biologists, and first responders all share one thing in common: their work takes them into the tall grass, dense brush, and wooded terrain where blacklegged ticks thrive.
At Trail Ready Solutions, we did not design this kit for the casual weekend hiker. We designed it with the government worker in mind – the professional who does not have the luxury of staying on the path, who cannot always stop what they are doing to drive to an urgent care clinic, and who deserves the same level of protection on the job as they give to the communities they serve.
Built for the Field. Designed with Purpose.
This kit was not assembled from a catalog. Every item was chosen deliberately, tested for real-world field use, and selected because it solves a specific problem that outdoor workers face when a tick is discovered on the job.
The Military MOLLE Hip Waist Bag is not decorative – it is the same attachment system used by military and law enforcement personnel worldwide. It clips securely to a duty belt, a pack, or a vest and stays put whether you are crawling through underbrush or riding in a vehicle. It is always accessible, always ready.
The Stainless Steel Lice and Tick Comb allows workers to perform a quick, systematic check of hair and clothing before leaving a field site. This is the kind of tool that takes thirty seconds to use and can prevent a week of illness.
The Professional Tick Removal Tool Set includes precision-engineered extractors designed to remove ticks cleanly at the skin surface – without squeezing, twisting, or leaving mouthparts behind. Improper removal is one of the leading causes of unnecessary infection. These tools make proper removal fast, safe, and achievable without medical training.
The Magnifying Glass and Mirror solves the problem that started this entire company. When a tick is found in a hard-to-see location, a worker should not have to wait for help, drive to a clinic, or guess. The combination of a high-quality magnifying lens and a mirror gives any individual the ability to identify and address the situation independently, on-site, in the field.
The Risk Is Real – and Growing
Tick-borne illness is not a minor inconvenience. Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Ehrlichiosis can sideline a worker for weeks, require extended antibiotic treatment, and in some cases cause long-term neurological effects. Minnesota consistently ranks among the top five states in the nation for confirmed Lyme disease cases, and the Minnesota Department of Health has documented a steady year-over-year increase in tick-borne illness reports.
For government agencies, this translates directly into lost productivity, workers’ compensation claims, medical costs, and – most importantly – harm to the dedicated individuals who serve the public every day.
The cost of equipping a field crew with Trail Ready Solutions kits is a fraction of the cost of a single workers’ compensation claim. More importantly, it sends a clear message to every employee: your safety matters to us.
