Adventure Medical Kits Optimist EZ First Aid Kit

I carry a few items with me for day hikes. After adding a few pills that I always carry this kit will address minor issues while day hiking. Exactly what I wanted.

This is my first purchase the EZ First Aid Kit, and at this time is untested. Though it has less than the larger kits that are available, I decided on the smaller kit: it has adequate content, it's lightweight, and can easily be supplemented, as I will do, with a few extra items. I normally put together my own kits, but this looked pretty good for the price; so it's going with me backpacking in late July. I'll be solo on this trip, but barring any serious misadventures, this kit ought to do just fine.

Great addition to the backpack or the car kit. You never know when you might need it so place a few where you can get to them in an emergency such as an auto breakdown or a day trip that turns into night.

Nice small size. I'll add a few items making it more complete. I'll include more moleskin for blisters etc. for hiking and biking. Allergies to both adhesives & latex & Tylenol products requires removal of some items & change out of others. In general it's a basic little package to hold basic patch up items. I may add a small blood clot item to round it out. Otherwise I was going to make my own bag up but these were 40% off the normal STP prices & will work out just fine. The other triple fold sort of item smaller yet will be handy for daily bike for excercise 6-8 miles out. And can add to pocket or small pack or purse for hikes and quick runs too. These are not for the serious first aid kits or ready for everything sort of attitudes but great for bandages of scrapes and asprin and electrolytes pills. Oh right and moleskin. (Unless you are allergic to the adhesive.)

Extra measure of insurance that stays in the hunting pack, because you never know.... It's always better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.
