(Part 2) Reddit mentions: The best camping first aid kits

I just ordered this for my motorcycle tank bag/working as security guard item. Once I receive it ill take a gander and post a little more about it.

Adventure Medical Kits Weekender Kit

also reviews on amazon look promising.

*edit: just got it and it is loaded with pretty much everything. I now have it in my tank bag on my motorcycle wherever I go especially working at my security job.

You can get pre-rolled IFAKs on Amazon at whatever price-point you want. Supplement with another tourniquet, Israeli dressing, larger SAM splint or whatever.

It's a great idea to have a few around, as mentioned.

Mine is similar, except I think I have their Mountain series Weekender kit. And I added an Israeli Bandage to mine, hopefully I never have reason to use it.

It's not hard to put your own together, but if you want a basic pre-assembled one, this one isn't bad:

I try to have at minimum a premade tourniquet, a compression bandage, hemostatic gauze, gloves, and materials to improvise a chest seal (duct tape & ziplock baggie will do). If I'm carrying my backpack, I've got a real chest seal plus some duplicates.

  EDIT: Spelling, formatting, and added some links (cuz I'm bored at work). Not necessarily the ones from the vid, but links nonetheless

Out of everything on my lists I think probably this medical bag is the most qualified. I have two kits I use, one big EMT kit that stays in my work truck and one just like this that goes with my on the work ATV and also goes in my personal vehicle when I travel (since it is smaller).

I have been in law enforcement for over a decade now and I am certified as a first responder and in wilderness first aid. Over the years I have been the first on the scene, both on and off duty, for dozens medical emergencies. The majority are traffic collisions. These collisions vary in severity from horrible, fatal collisions to minor bumps and bruises.

Having even a basic medical kit with supplies that can stop bleeding and begin CPR is very important. Luckily I can get these supplies free from work... the bag, however, is a different story.

Work supplies me the big EMT kit but the little bag was my own purchase a long time ago. Now it is falling apart from repeated use and abuse and I am looking to get another one (and actually the one on my list is better quality and so it should last me at least until I retire.)

So... that's it. A little first aid bag to compliment my EMT bag and be with me even off duty so I can provide aid to people if they need it. :-)

Not what I have but similar. You get used to it.

6 bucks on amazon and they also have different sizes.

It has a sitcky side and a soft material side. Cut it out like a doughnut around blisters ect.

This one is good to go. The only thing I added to it was a Israeli bandage.

Maybe try a Maxepedition Fatty or even a simple cheap IFak pack they will add a bit more style to your kit.

"EMT scissors" would probably zip right through it too. In fact, I bet that was a requirement for building these monitors in the first place.

Maybe something like this is more up your alley?

I tend to go a bit overboard but o like this one.

I can't share the actual wishlist because it seems to reveal private information even if I try and remove the private information from the list.

I didn't get very far on it, just some random items I could find.

IFAK


Red Pliers

Yellow Pliers

Keybar

Grizzly

Hatchet

Trizip


I tried to be as accurate as I could be. If the item has exact information about it in game, I will try to find that exact item. Otherwise I choose whatever looks closest.

When I used a GR1 for EDC I had this pouch mounted inside for more organization. I didn't need a pouch to be 500D or 1000D and was looking for something with multiple zippers / quick access. Kept my office keys in the front mesh zippered pocket and other misc. stuff in the main compartment. Sadly the pouch does not come with included straps so you will have to buy MALICE/ speed clips separately. I used standard zip ties since I knew I was not going to hold too much weight in the pouch and it worked out fine.

Gear:
Plate carrier: 5.11 TacTec
Hydration pouch: USMC issued

First Aid Kit: Carlebean EMT Pouch

PTS Foregrip Mags: KWA K120

So I probably over did it.. Here are some pictures of what is inside.

As for what I added to it I probably forget the entire list but I did add a lot of gauze, probably too much really. I have to thin this thing out a little bit. I think I should probably just leave it at home and have a smaller one for my bag.

I also added extra eye wash. Better tweezers. Splinter remover. Liquid bandage. That powder shit that makes your blood scab over. Gauze. A few more pairs of gloves, gauze. Another couple wraps for sprains. Glucose

This is the one I got. Maybe I should leave this at home and put the other smaller one in my bag

There were others that really did look like a butt plug. Well, more of a prostate massager from hell, but still a good weapon. Hell, you could say that it's going up the ass too, and see how fast a guy can run with his hands covering the brown eye.

It's always good to carry something, but remember that anything can help in a pinch.

Also, you have no idea how hard it was, as a guy, to say grab a guy by his nuts and twist until he's singing like a choir boy, but in a fight there's no such thing as fighting dirty.

It also helped me a bit. I had a phone interview today, and it helped to distract me to go over the various things.

As I said, I hope you never have need of these things ever again, and you did the right thing by running away. Getting physical is always the last resort. That little comforting weight of the butt plug esqe keyring would be a welcome feeling though. Just never discount your keys, and share it with all of your friends, both male and female.

The [Sawyer Mini water filter] (http://www.amazon.com/Sawyer-Products-SP128-Filtration-System/dp/B00FA2RLX2/) is smaller, can be screwed onto standard disposable plastic water bottles, and is capable of filtering far more water since you can reuse it. If you pick up a [stainless steel water bottle] (http://www.amazon.com/Klean-Kanteen-40oz-Classic-Loop/dp/B0093IRPSA/), you can boil water in it as well.

You should always have a backup when it's a survival situation; [Israeli water purification tablets] (http://www.amazon.com/Taharmayim-Israeli-Water-Purification-Tablets/dp/B0077TB65U/) will both look legit and be legit if she actually needs to use them.

There are always more items you might add to a first aid kit, but [this one is pretty well rounded] (http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Medical-Kits-Weekender-Kit/dp/B000G7YIL4/). If you want a cheaper base kit (i.e if you want to add your own items), [this other kit] (http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Medical-Kits-Tripper-First/dp/B0033B4I9C/) will also do the job.

Battery-free lights can be good, but AA batteries are common enough that a [good tactical light that takes AAs] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006O4CELO) might be a more convenient option.

If she has a tablet (if tablet, go for the 12W) or E-reader (7W), [solar power might be an option] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F3LPODY). With [rechargeable AA batteries] (http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-BK-3MCCA8BA-Pre-Charged-Rechargeable-Batteries/dp/B00JHKSN5I) and a [USB recharger] (http://www.amazon.com/SunJack-Battery-Charger-Ni-Mh-Batteries/dp/B00PZ6V99U/), the flashlight and any other AA device (like a [small, separate radio] (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-ICF-S10MK2-Pocket-Radio-Silver/dp/B00020S7XK)) could work indefinitely, as well as any regular USB-charged device.

[ResQme] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000IE0F12/) may not be strictly zombie-related, but if you buckled up as per Rule #4, you may want a way to quickly exit your vehicle if your seatbelt jams and the windows and door won't open normally.

There are a lot of compasses out there, but [this one] (http://www.amazon.com/Suunto-SS012063013-A-10-Compass/dp/B000FEXZGW) is simple, reliable, and won't break easily. It's also designed to be laid over maps without getting in the way of reading them.

[Pocket chainsaw] (http://www.amazon.com/Chainmate-CM-24SSP-24-Inch-Survival-Pocket/dp/B0026OOS60). Won't be useful against zombies, but if you ever needed to cut a tree or thick branches and don't want to carry an axe...

...You can also carry a [hatchet] (http://www.amazon.com/Fiskars-78506935-X7-Hatchet-14-Inch/dp/B0002YTO7E/) instead. This one has a short blade, which will cut into their heads and not get stuck like others. It'll also do a fine job cutting smaller branches.

For non-zombie/woodwork related tasks, the [Victorinox Forester] (http://www.amazon.com/Victorinox-Swiss-Army-Grip-Series/dp/B003EH82TC/) has your bases covered.

You should also include World War Z (the book, and the movie if you'd prefer), I Am Legend (both the book and the film), and the Walking Dead series (TV, comics, and both seasons of the Telltale game series on Steam).
