Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight and Watertight .7 Medical Kit
First Aid kits can be confusing to some folks because they are filled with so many different things, are all of them needed? Are they missing anything? What types of medical conditions will they treat?
There is an easy answer for those who are looking for a basic kit that can handle small day-to-day inconveniences one might experience while out in the woods: Adventure Medial Kits.
They made a variety of kits, each a different size, each with different contents. We grabbed their .7 sized kit to test for our Bug Out Bag since it's supposed to cover 1-2 people for 1-4 days. As they state "Ideally used for ski/snowboarding, hiking/backpacking, alpine/rock climbing, mountain/road biking, off roading and paddlesports."
Will it protect you from everything? No, of course not. A full-sized trauma kit would be almost as big as our entire Bug Out Bag. But it will get you treat some minor things that could turn into major things later on. This kit includes sterile bandage materials, bleeding and wound care, blister/burn care, fracture/sprain care, common medications, and essential tools, all contained in a high-visibility kit bag. Many of the items included are self explanatory. Some are not:
- The Diphenhydramine can treat pain and itching caused by insect bites, minor cuts, burns, poison ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac when applied topically. In its oral form, it can treat hay fever, allergies, cold symptoms, and insomnia.
- Skin Tac Wipes prepare the skin for application of tapes, dressings, ostomy appliances, infusion sets, compression stockings and more.
