Adventure Medical Adventurer Light & Fast Kit - 2007

When you're in the backcountry, you're on your own; you can't just call an ambulance if you think you've cut your leg open. Bring the Adventurer Medical Kit to be prepared for an emergency. This clearly organized and well-labeled kit from Adventure Medical has basic necessary gear for trauma care to deal with injuries common in the wilderness, such as cuts, sprains and blisters. If you don't know how to handle a specific injury, look in the included Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness Medicine for the answer.

Bottom Line: Going into the woods with a few friends? Bring the Adventurer Medical Kit just in case.

Just in case...

I carry one of these in the car for car camping mission to the desert, climbing trips, and the odd hut trip. It's got the basics. Sometimes I take things out and replace them with other items that I need, but all in all this kit fits the job.

haven't used it yet... hope i don't have to!

By:

When I got this the first thing i did was tear it apart and inventory everything. I added some extra medicines that I typically use (most were already present in a minimal quantity), a bunch of Advil/Tylenol, and extra 'normal' band-aids. The cool part is that there is plenty of room to customize this and even if you don't it is very well stocked.

I've used this kit on some backpacking trips, regular hikes and even a little trail running. I've only had to use a couple of things out of it but everything is there as a big just in case!

Great Kit, Room to Grow

By:
December 29, 2008

Being a Wilderness EMT and leading trips through our club I carry medical supplies with me everywhere... While I got it before having any significant training, I am still very pleased - with a little personalization. It has all the basics you need to get you started in a great, light, water-resistant package that - very importantly - leaves room for expansion. As you go out more and more (or seek more and more training which you should if you spend any measurable time outdoors), you will realize little things you wish you had along. Some of the things I have added (off the top of my head) and/or keep with me: 2-5 rolls of 1" medical tape (depending), various size band-aids (ever-popular), extra/more medications, more gloves, non-rebreather, cavit, second skin, more butterfly bandages, more gauze, and a bandanna or two...

ALSO, and VERY importantly, it is now (after additions) the right size for what I'm doing (smaller sized groups, less than a week). A super-comprehensive kit does you no good if its either too big and will sit in the car at the trailhead, or you don't know how to use everything anyways. The best kit is the one that gives you basic supplies you know how to use and that will make it into your pack and onto the trail.

great first aid kit

By:

This kit is very neatly organized and includes most of your everyday needs. There is also a manual on some more advanced treatments that hopefully are never needed but having it is good insurance. There is plenty of room in it to add some other necessities which weren’t included... needle, thread, razor blade, extra benadryl/aspirin.

Trekked throughout the Andes Mtns in Peru and had this with me. A few people needed to use it for their blisters and it had everything anyone could possibly need.

Always nice to have around

Haven't needed anything major out of this pack. My parents gave it to me for my car and I like having it in there in case I need it. The band-aids and asprin have come in handy and have needed to be replaced. Would also be great if you had kids traveling with you.
