Small First Aid Kit with Waterproof Laminate Bags (Red)

I have purchased this product before from your company. I love how compact and lightweight it is. And I like how all the medical supplies are in their own plastic bags and places in labeled pockets of what they are. I will tell you a story that happened to me about two months ago while hiking. I thought to myself before I went should I take my medical kit so I brought it along good thing I did. I put it in my backpack. Me and my cousin were hiking some trails looking for a waterfall that we heard about. We found the waterfall and she stayed up top and I climb down to take some pictures of her on the top of the waterfall. After I took the pictures I was running up the Side of the waterfall which I should not have done I should’ve took my time. But I slipped and bashed my knee open on a sharp rock. At first I thought to myself what do I do. I am out here with no medical supplies and I’m bleeding really bad. But then I remembered I had your medical kit in my bag it’s so light weight that I forgot it was back there. My knee is healed up thanks to your medical kit so I decided to purchase another one too attached to my kayak. My cousin works in the medical field she says it’s a well put together medical kit. My sister was a combat lifesaver in the army who did a tour in Iraq. She says it’s a great medical kit and everything is organized and labeled and in different pockets where you can get to them fast when needed. Thank you again for your great product.

I bought this first aid kit for my bug out bag after reading many favorable reviews and it did not disappoint. It is small and lightweight enough to fit easily into my 5.11 Rush 72 bag with the rest of my kit and yet it has enough supplies for my whole family. All of the supplies are neatly laid out and labeled so that someone unfamiliar with the kit can locate them quickly in an emergency. The kit itself is water-resistant, but not waterproof, but all of the supplies inside the kit are packed in small, resealable plastic bags, so it is not likely anything would be ruined if the kit were dunked. The kit comes in a resealable waterproof plastic bag, so it could be stored that way and be 100% waterproof (at least until the bag wore out). The MOLLE attachments make it easy to affix the kit to a backpack (or anything else). Oral medicines like analgesics are not part of the kit, but a number of small resealable plastic bags are included to add your own pills. This did not bother me because people's need for medicines differs widely based on individual preferences and health issues, not to mention the fact that medicine expires quickly and thus needs to be replaced fairly often. I added some naproxin sodium, antihistamines, and chewable Pepto. If you have sensitive skin, be aware that the adhesive bandages are of the "sheer" plastic variety, so you might want to replace them with hypoallergenic bandages (like cloth or foam). At the time of this writing, Surviveware will give you a free LED flashlight for joining their message list (which has so far produced a useful coupon and no spam, so I have no regrets). The light is nothing fancy, but it is a perfectly serviceable LED light with a tailcap switch and a pocket clip. It's slightly larger than a keychain MagLite and fits easily in the first aid kit. One of the Surviveware co-founders even included a hand-written thank-you note with the light, which was a nice touch in this day and age. If you need a good portable first aid kit, this one is ideal. I'm going to pick up a few more to put in my vehicles and my judo/jiu-jitsu bag.

I spent a lot of time researching basic first aid kits and d3ciding whether or not to buy a pre made one or put my own together. After much trawling through YouTube reviews I decided upon the Surviveware kit....and I am happy to report that it was a good decision. The bag is compact and good quality. Having the cord on the zippers is very helpful. The contents are pretty well thought out. There is a little room below the CPR pouch for some anti septic cream (which I added) as the pouch is a bit too tight to fully fit into the allocated netting. Below the cpr netting there is room for an additional pocket which could be useful for personal added items. But this is in no way to detract from the clever layout provided. I did think this had a tourniquet but they must have removed this item now due to feedback on the original one provided. Would be a useful addition to have a semi decent one in the kit. Love the fact that each compartment area is clearly labeled and this makes finding the right item quickly much simpler. All I have added to this are a couple of burns dressings and some anti skeptic cream. This was an excellent purchase for hiking, biking and in the car. It attaches pretty easily to my car head support so is always there ready if needed. Having compared it to all the other similar sized kits available I am happy I bought this one and would highly recommend it as a good basic first aid kit.

With a huge amount of first kits available on Amazon I was keen to find one that suited my needs. I work offshore on yachts and I always like to have my own back up first aid kit in case the yacht's one is lacking in some way. In my free time I ski through the winter and spend the summers hiking and trail running. I like to keep the weight I carry to a minimum but I still feel more comfortable in the outdoors if I am ready for anything - within reason of course! After contacting the seller to chat through this kit I ordered it with the understanding that it was thoughtfully packed out with all the necessities while not being bloated and overweight. I was excited to unpack it when it arrived! Here are my thoughts: A lot of thought has gone into the kit to make sure that you have what you need but don't end up carrying around unnecessary items. Everything has its place so it is easy to find items. This is really important with the likely stress that is involved with a first aid situation. It is also easy to put items back in the right place and, after a trip away, it is easy to see what needs replacing. The bag that houses the kit is excellent quality and protects it's contents well. The zips work well, it has a handy carry handle and a great couple of loops on the back to strap it to a bag etc. In the attached picture I have strapped it to my camera bag. It is a good size. Big enough that I feel confident heading off for a few days camping but small enough to stuff into backpack pockets etc. A great item - I will be buying a second one so that I have one at home and one to travel with.

Great little First Aid kit. Not flashy, not complicated, easy to use and has convenience loops for attaching to backpack, belt, etc. [Note: This is not a "Survival Pack", but it is not intended as one either. It doesn't come with space blanket or hand warmers or knife or matches or any of that stuff. It is for basic first aid in an emergency, and to that end, it is a great little kit.] Pros: Has a lot of handy little basics for First Aid (bandages, CPR kit, surgical shears, hypo-allergenic tape, etc). The one thing I REALLY like about this kit, is that when you open it up, everything has it's own place, it is logically organized, and each pocket is labeled for what it contains and what that item is used for: "Shears", "Crepe bandages: secure dressing / compression", "Triangular bandages: sling/presure/head bandage" etc, etc.. This means that it is easy to find the right item for whatever the first aid situation is, and once you've used that item, it reminds you what you need to go back and refill in your kit for next time. Extra zip pouch on the front for personal medications, or you could also slip your ID, cellphone or some cash in there if this was all you were taking on a hike. There is a little bit of extra room inside the main pouch itself..not a lot mind you, but I added some additional items to my kit. (See below for what I added). Cons: Nothing major. I would have liked for it to come with a few more cotton gauze swabs (cleaning wounds), but again, this is not a major. Other thoughts: Kit was exactly as advertised. I'm very pleased with it, and the price is fair. I plan on getting a couple of Survivorware's other kits soon to stash in various locations (I'd like one for my car, one for my hunting pack, one for basic hiking and maybe something a little extra for when I am scuba diving). There was a little bit of room in this kit, and here are the items I managed to squeeze in and add to my kit so far: more cotton swabs/patches, alcohol wipes, handwarmers (which I have used during hunting trips to help keep myself from hypothermia...it may sound crazy, but a couple of good quality handwarmers can make a huge difference, try one on the back of your neck and close to your chest) as well as a basic tourniquet strap, pair of nitrile examiner's gloves and a glow stick. I hope I never need to actually use any of this stuff, but it's nice to have.
