Adventure Medical Kits Ultralight & Watertight Medical Kit .7 – Waterproof Multi-Sport First Aid Kit – Lightweight Medical Kit Includes Bandages, Moleskin, Medication & More

A great car kit for the family
As a family of four, we have two cars and always seem to run out of bandaids at home. We looked at pricing a DIY medical kit, but things quickly got expensive and weren’t as “self contained” as the individual drug pouches, etc. We look at a lot of kits and many contain a lot of stuff we wouldn’t know how to use or what to use them for. These adventure medical kits include essentials, with some nice additions (like Duct tape). These are better priced and equipped than comparable kits (like from your car dealer or some others) and doesn’t have a lot of “waste” and have a lot of the stuff I would’ve gotten on my own in my DIY kit, but at a better overall rate. So, we got 3, 1 that lives in each car and 1 that lives in the house that we take with us on trips (lightweight enough to carry on a hike or even on vacation).Kids inevitably get scrapes and cuts. Parents tend to get headaches. Now, I’ll keep an eye on the expiration dates for the medicines in these kits…I would have to anyway if I made my own kit (stuff expires). And while I don’t know if the medicines or tape or band aids are brand names or generics in this kit, it’s a good price and seems to have everything I’ve ever needed. It feels good to know that, in the car, I have enough on hand to quickly address an issue for 1-4 people.You can determine whether the smaller kits make more sense…as, let’s face it, the odds of 4 people getting injured all at the same time is slight…but, I like the feeling that I have enough “stuff” to quickly apply first aid to my entire family and that I don’t have to “skimp” on a dressing because it can handle more than 1 person.

Excellent Kit for the Money
If you’re hiking or camping, you’re probably going to take along a first-aid kit. Since you probably don’t know enough to assemble your own, then you’re buying a pre-assembled kit. What you should care most about is the contents.If you compare the contents of this kit to others, there’s a lot of supplies here for the size and money. I prefer this ultralight/watertight packaging instead of the heavy cordura nylon or plastic cases like you find on other kits. Regardless, I always carry my kit in a zip-loc freezer bag to make sure if doesn’t get punctured or wet.The supplies are in two small heavy-duty plastic bags with zip-loc tops inside a light nylon zipper bag. Make sure they’re zipped closed and you’ve burped all the air out of the bags, especially if you’re going on an airplane. I would also suggest packaging the various drugs in an additional plastic bag to make sure they’re not destroyed in the event of water leakage.Note that this is what I consider to be a comfort-type medical kit, not a hard-core first-aid kit. It’s also not for tactical use. There’s no huge bandage for large, bloody wounds, there’s no splints, burn gel or tourniquet. This will allow you deal with cuts and scrapes and various travel discomfort, more like a well-stocked medicine cabinet at home. There’s nothing wrong with this, it’s just the limitations of size in a kit like this. You’re not going to be doing any emergency surgery.Also, a first-aid kit isn’t magic. You still have to know what to do if something goes wrong. Take a wilderness first-aid class from REI or buy a decent book.Only 4 stars because (1) there no first-aid manual and (2) I haven’t actually used it yet.

Saved my family when we needed it!
This kit came in handy when my grandfather fell and got a cut behind his ear at my house. We weren’t able to take him to the urgent care right away and this kit had everything we needed in the meantime. My aunt who is a nurse practitioner was even impressed and used it to bandage him up. I’m so glad I was prepared and will definitely recommend everyone to have one in their home. You never know when you could need it.

Adventure Medical Kits 0125-0290 Amk Ultralight .9
This is a good product in my opinion, nice size for back packing or for survival usage. This has all the basic items in it needed for cuts, burns, sprains, insects, diarhea, headaches, poison oak and from the items in it, it is possible for it to be used for a gunshot wound, now don’t get me wrong, I mean “possible,” There is no substitute for professional medical care. Their is much, much more in this bag and has many more uses that would take far to long to write, however, I would recommmend this as a quick use first aid kit for backpacking or survial use.
