"Comprehensive" really does say it all. Adventure Medical has put together a great assortment of equipment to address a wide range of injuries. It's also very well-organized, with myriad individual compartments, and handy reference instructions for everything. The kit folds down into a compact portable size. And it has just enough extra room to supplement with whatever specialty items you might want to add. (I beefed up the meds sections, added some more surgical steel, plus a couple tubes of Dermabond and some Celox, then went to town with the P-Touch labeler.)
