I'm looking for a good First Aid Kit that I can add to.

I understand that I'll have to pay a primium for a prefab kit, but I'm busy as hell so I don't have time to shop for individual items to make up a larger kit. I have Israeli compress bandages, quick clot and other items. I've got a good individual pack kit that I put together; I'm looking for a larger Trauma kit for group use.

I'd like to find a kit that is as coplete as possible and keep it under $250 if possible. Most of the kits I've seen include a lot of fluff and crap  items to in crease the "number of items included". If I have to go that route I will, but it would be nice to find a kit with as much practical and useful materials as possible.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Can I ask what the rush is? Even if you're busy, the net makes it fairly easy to order stuff even at 0100 hrs on-line and have it show up on your doorstep.

It sounds like you're somewhat * there* in the stuff you've started to collect.

You want a group med kit; ARE you part of a group, and what are  their individual medical skill sets? Your medical skill set? Do THEY have any purchase requests or items they can contribute to the group kit?

Do you have a list of items you want to have in the kit?

I'm lazy so I bought one of these in the outfitter model.  I added some gloves, a few adb. pads and a skin stapler.

As per unit items, it is more expensive than building one yourself but when you look at the over cost vs. number of items, it's pretty reasonable.

There used to be several SF members who made some pretty thorough FAKs and sold them on the EE...





ETA: first page of survival EE shows several trauma kits.

Think I could get my FSA to pay for some of that nice chinook stuff?

Although I suggest buying stuff you need and know how to use rather than just a "kit".
