First Aid Only Outdoor First Aid Kit, Soft Case, 205-Piece Kit

This First Aid kit contains a generous supply of the basics for injuries and minor wounds that might occur in remote areas. Although it contains two small rolls of medical tape, I've found that a large roll of tape sufficient to wrap sprained ankles, wrists or to bandage a puncture wound always comes in handy. Add that item. This kit is light-weight and fits perfectly into an ATV saddle bag. The flexible nylon container allows for extra items that might be desired - and the bright-orange color keeps it easily visible in the woods if you are working an emergency away from the vehicle, so you will not lose it in the leaves.

It's hard to find the things you need for an emergency that needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. When you open the kit you will see clear pouches containing your medical contents. I suggest you organize everything neatly so it makes things easier to find. In fact, the thin cardboard shell that the kit comes covered with has a good example on how this kit should be organized with this kind of bag.

Here is all the items in the kit;

• Medicine Antiseptics;

4 Aspirin tablets
4 Ibuprofen tablets

Medique 40061 First Aid Kit, 61-Piece

This new portable first aid kit is a great kit for use in the home, at the jobsite, in the car, on the sports field. Wherever you need basic first aid. These items are packed in a sturdy polypropylene carrying case with convenient carry handle. Organized tray keeps contents neat and organized. 

This 61 piece first aid kit includes: 

• 5 bandages, 3/8" x 1-1/2" plastic, 
• 2 gloves, vinyl latex-free, 
• 15 butterfly closures,
•  medium 1 instant cold pack, 
• 1 tape .5" x 2.5yds, 3 antibiotic ointment, 
• .9gm, 1 cotton tips 3", 
• 5 pack burn cream ointment, 1gm, 
• 2 finger splints 6 alcohol prep pads, 
• 1 first aid guide - Bilingual. 3 sting relief prep pads,
•  2 gauze pads, 2" x 2" sterile 6 antiseptic prep pads, 
• 2 gauze pads, 4" x 4" sterile 1 scissors, 
• 4.5" pointed and 1 gauze roll, 2" 4.1 yards. 

the inclusion of a good first aid kit among your possibles is an essential. First aid kits are easy to find, and its also easy to settle. That is, just pick up any one that is small enough and portable and figure its good enough. Though it is definitely better to have an inferior first aid kit along on your hike than nothing at all, this Medique kit is one of the very best that I have run into for including a good variety of items usually only found in larger kits. 

 The Medique carries all the usual gauze's, bandages, tension wrap, scissors and such, but in addition also carries some premium items that most this size and price don't bother with. Including finger splints, (that I actually had to use when I twisted a finger badly on one hike), burn ointment, butterfly closures, antiseptic preps, sting relief pads, antibiotic ointment and an instant cold pack. 

These kind of items are always included in those big metal cased kits you see in the workplace, but hardly in one with just 61 pieces. I have been using this kit for years on my hikes and find it one of the most comprehensive for one that small enough to be called portable, (about 6 by 8, by 2 1/2), but has enough real supplies in it to handle the most common scrapes, stings, burns and other boo boos that one can easily encounter on a hike in the wilderness. 

In conclusion, you will find a lot of first aid kits available on Amazon. Some just too big for a hike, and other cheaper ones that pretty much all seem the same. Trust me the Medique is the exception at the price, size, quality and variety of its supplies, and I highly recommend it for hikes, traveling, or any other outdoor adventure.Read more

Adventure Medical Kits UltraLight and Watertight

This is an outstanding and comprehensive kit for its size. It is a big brother to the also excellent .5 and .7 models. I prefer this one as I appreciate a bit of extra gear for extended overnighters or for when I have family or friends along on dayhikes. The First Aid kit covers basic first aid needs that you may encounter on hiking, camping, climbing, or boating adventures, and also works quite well for a car-bound first aid kit. Below is a breakdown of main points and features:

* Very water resistant - The contents of the bag come in two Dryflex bags (basically snazzy plastic bags with zip-lock closures) contained in a silnylon sack with taped seams and a water resistant zipper. I am very hesitant to call anything waterproof unless it takes a serious dunking in water over an extended period of time. This kit is fairly well protected, though, and can take serious rain without damaging the contents inside. This amounts to a kit that will stand up to adverse conditions and still be there when you need it most. I would take normal precautions with this (potentially lifesaving) gear and not let it sit in water, of course.

* Compact - Though bigger in girth than the .5 and .7 versions, it is still quite small and lives discreetly at the bottom of my 18 liter daypack. While I can say that it's perhaps too large for a short solo run, I would absolutely bring this for an extended trail run. One of the reasons I like this kit is that it gives me many more options while staying fairly compact. I know I have everything I need whether I am alone, hiking with four people, or overnight, or with my family in the backcountry for a week. Yes, it's a tad heavier and larger than the smaller kits, but only by a bit and this is one time when I appreciate the additional insurance that comes with a bit more girth and weight.

* Comprehensive - this kit really covers a lot of ground: It's got medication for inflammation, pain, diarrhea, insect bites, and allergic reactions; it has an impressive range of bandages, gauze pads, and dressings; it's even got moleskin for blisters, tweezers for splinters and bee stingers, and an irrigation syringe; there's tape, safety pins, antiseptic wipes and ointment, and an elastic bandage for sprains. Heck, it's even got a measure of duct tape. It even has knuckle bandages, an often overlooked item for this very common and hard to cover area of injury. There are also a fair number of items that are likely to see frequent need: pads, bandages, etc.

* Flexibility - Though well-outfitted, there is still room in the bag to customize or add personal medication. Personally, I augment the kit with a few extras: Water gel for burns (including sunburn), lip balm, a couple of small QuickClot pads for bleeding, a larger Afterbite itch eraser (after having been nearly eaten alive by the vampire-like mosquitoes of Lassen NP in the early spring) and an assortment of small bandages that I know I go through quickly. This kit works equally well for day hikes, in the car, or weekend family camping trips.

* Value - I think this kit is an exceptional value for it's size, quality, and number of components.

* Quality and durability - This kit has had many things piled on top of it during many cycles of hiking, camping, and backpacking and has been opened and used many times. It has held up well. All the components I have used have been high quality, the adhesive on bandages never being weak or cheap.Read More

first aid kit

The international standard for first aid kits is that they should be identified with the ISO graphical symbol for first aid (from ISO 7010) which is an equal white cross on a green background, although many kits do not comply with this standard, either because they are put together by an individual or they predate the standards

You can purchase a first aid kit at drugstores or a local Red Cross office, or make one of your own. If you decide to make one, choose containers for your kits that are roomy, durable, easy to carry, and simple to open. Plastic tackle boxes or containers for storing art supplies are ideal, since they're lightweight, have handles, and offer a lot of space.

First aid kits can be assembled in almost any type of container, and this will depend on whether they are commercially produced or assembled by an individual. Standard kits often come in durable plastic boxes, fabric pouches or in wall mounted cabinets. The type of container will vary depending on purpose, and they range in size from wallet sized through to large rucksacks.
It is recommended that all kits are in a clean, waterproof container to keep the contents safe and aseptic Kits should also be checked regularly and restocked if any items are damaged or expired out of date.
