I'm starting to build a few first aid kits, including a larger family/disaster type of first aid kit. I'm in the process of buying a STOMP pack out of the classifieds here, that's going to be my container. I only have basic first aid, CPR including children,BVM and two person, and wilderness first aid training. For this particular kit, I'm not heading down the road of having equipment/kit that I do not know how to use. With that being said, I'd like some advice for building or even better links to similar kits. |

Another vendor I would like to recommend is www.rescue-essentials.com ( I don't know how to make the link hot. )
They have excellent an product selection and prices. I would keep a copy of the book [/u]A Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness and Travel Medicine [u] by Eric Weiss, M.D. in your kit. It is small in size but jam packed with information. For a dental kit, I would recommend the prepackaged dental kit by Adventure Medical Kits. It is small, but will help with a loose crown or lost filling. Get some more training. Good luck. |
