Overpriced and heavy for what it does By Raivyn from SoCal on 08/03/2009 Pros: Easy to view contents Cons: Case is heavy, Inadequate real first aid, Not water proof Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I would not call this a "first aid kit" because it is hardly good for anything more than a headache and a paper cut. For the most part, you are paying for a cute case with a few pills and bandages. While the case is small, its contents are inadequate for genuine first aid, especially if you plan on taking this with you on bike rides or hikes/camping where a genuinely serious injury can occur. If you fall and heaven forbid even scrape your head, or cut your finger with more than a paper clip, there is nothing in this "first aid kit" that will stop the bleeding.
The case is bulky and actually heavy if all you're carrying around is a few finger bandages and pain medication. While the overall kit is barely 2 oz, you can assemble a kit with real first aid capabilities for that weight and size.
If you need something that small and light, you're better off making your own with a ziplock bag. Its lighter and water proof, plus it will cost alot less than this kit. There are also better kits for the same price. In any event, if your goal is truly first aid, bypass this one and get/make a kit that can actually provide genuine first aid.
Great product, INCREDIBLE price!!! By Cliffsquatter from Bakersfield, CA on 07/13/2009 Pros: Easy To Use, Effective, Promotes Healing, Safe Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Keep In The Medicine Cabinet, Keep In The Trunk, Long Term Use, Outdoor Activities, Quick Fix Describe Yourself: Avid Hiker, Backpacker, CPR Trained, First Aid certified, Runner Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I actually bought this to resupply my lighter backpacking Adventure Medical first aid kit. The price was just too incredible to pass up. I was impressed by the quanitity of items, and hey I can always use another Wilderness Medical Book. I wouldn't take this one on a backpacking trip of course too bulky, but like I said before PERFECT to use to resupply a lighter kit.
By rebekahfeldman from napa on 07/11/2009 Pros: Easy To Use, Effective, Promotes Healing Best Uses: Keep In The Trunk, Outdoor Activities Describe Yourself: Medical Professional Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Good starter kit. Small compact and great for minor emergency.
Looks good for a wilderness canoe trip. By Marty from Cleveland, Ohio on 07/01/2009 Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Outdoor Activities Describe Yourself: Novice First Aid Skills Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Kit looks complete for wilderness first aid.
Not what the Doctor ordered By Snootleather from Fox Island, Wa on 06/21/2009 Cons: Lacks organization, Outdated meds Best Uses: Keep In The Trunk, Quick Fix Describe Yourself: Advanced 1st Aid, CPR Trained Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I purchased this to carry on my motorcycle due to its size and weight. Unfortunatly I took a more in-depth look at the kit on the Adventure Medical website, which was a mistake. They have vastly improved the fundimentals kits, which is NOT the kit being sold here. Dont make this mistake.
I was disappointed with the organization of the kit where the contents were placed in ziplock baggies and difficult to identify the item needed. Basically you will have to dump out the contents to find what you need.
This kit will work great for minor injuries, has a very good Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine, but I would not take this as my primary kit on an extended excursion.
By Ollie921 from Gillette, WY on 06/12/2009 Pros: Easy To Use, Effective, Promotes Healing, Safe Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Keep In The Trunk, Outdoor Activities, Quick Fix Describe Yourself: Novice First Aid Skills, Parent Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Everything you need for quick first aid emergencies is in this package. If you're weekend camping or hiking in for a week this kit will do the trick. There is also a guide to help you through certain emergencies, and for someone like me that is very helpful.
Not Complete! Not as advertised! By Tengai650 from State College, PA on 06/12/2009 Cons: Incomplete missing items Best Uses: Outdoor Activities, Quick Fix Describe Yourself: CPR Trained Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: I ordered two kits, and the following items were missing from EACH kit:
# 2x3" Spenco 2nd Skin
# 3x4" non-woven adhesive knit
The other items are useful, but this sucks because I really only ordered the kits because it was advertised and labeled to contain the Spenco 2nd Skin. Only buy it if it's on sale and you have a coupon deal. Expect missing components.
I would have this kit in every house By ScouterSFC from Coral Springs, FL on 06/11/2009 Best Uses: Emergency Preparedness, Keep In The Trunk, Outdoor Activities Describe Yourself: CPR Trained, Medical Professional, Novice First Aid Skills, Parent Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This kit has everything you need in a compact case
