I need a couple of small, complete first aid kits for my wife and I's GHB. Let me know what's a good one and where to find it. There are so many options out there, it is overwhelming.
Or, and idea as to what brands of individual items I should be looking for...whether it be on eBay or other vendors. |

I like Chinook Medical...
http://www.chinookmed.com/?gclid=CPmTs-HzgsECFZDm7AodtTAAkA foot care... moleskin, duct tape to pre tape heel, medicated baby powder for chafe electrolyte glucose replacement powder sprains.... coban or other elastic tape OTC meds...benadryl, ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, Tylenol anti diarrheal cloth knuckle band aids telfa 4x4 pads, triangular bandage topical triple antiseptic wet wipes |

Ok, I am looking at Chinook now, and am torn between 2 kits:
Minimalistpak and this one: Adventure Light .9 |

Quoted: I usually start with an Adventure Medical Kit, then supplement some more serious stuff for trauma (CAT, Izzy, Combat Gauze, etc), but mine is geared more toward range medical and accident scene response. I like the AMK stuff as well for a starting point. |

Not to beat a dead horse, but if you use these things, you end up adding to them. That being said, I do buy kits because its easier to add to a kit than build one up from scratch. That being said, I pay more attention to the box/bag the kit comes in than what's actually in it. I will be adding to what's in it.
You want a box/bag that watertight and impact resistant. Packs, I actually prefer a nylon pouch similar to the pack its self. In my vehicle, I like a hard impact resistant plastic. I've bought a number of the MIL kits just to get the box or bag. What I'm saying here, the bag comes first. All the goodies are nice, but they're going to expire or get used. Tj |
