Adventure Medical Kits builds its catalog around a premise that separates it from generic first aid, which is that the person opening the kit is often the patient and is rarely calm. Every kit uses the Easy Care organization system, grouping contents by injury into labeled pockets with a map printed on the outside, so you are looking for the bleeding pocket rather than emptying a bag onto the dirt. The larger kits include Eric A. Weiss's wilderness medicine guide, which covers improvised technique for the situations where the kit runs out before the problem does.
The Ultralight and Watertight line uses a decimal system that scales with how many people you are covering and for how long. The .3 handles a solo day out, and the .5 is built for up to two people for two days, carrying knuckle and adhesive bandages, butterfly closures, pre cut moleskin, non adherent dressings, conforming gauze, tick forceps, and single dose aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and diphenhydramine. The construction is what earns the name, with contents sealed in a waterproof inner bag inside an abrasion resistant outer shell, because a wet kit is a useless kit.
The Trauma Pak Pro is the one built for arterial bleeding rather than scrapes. It runs 25 grams of QuikClot Sport, a SWAT-T tourniquet, nitrile gloves with a hand wipe and disposal bag, a 5 by 9 trauma pad, and two feet of duct tape, all inside a MOLLE compatible belt pouch under six inches long. The standard Trauma Pak covers the same ground at a lower tier. Both are sized for pocket or pack carry rather than a vehicle bag.
The MOLLE trauma kits step up in capability across three tiers. The 2.0 is the comprehensive build, adding QuikClot gauze, a Multigate tourniquet, EMT shears, a finger splint, elastic and triangular bandages, an irrigation tool, an emergency blanket, and petrolatum dressings on top of the standard wound care load. It is the truck or range bag option rather than something you carry on your belt.
Under the Survive Outdoors Longer label, the Fire Lite fuel free lighter and fuel cubes cover ignition in conditions where a butane lighter quits. The Sportsman 100 and Day Tripper Lite fill the middle of the range for hunting and day hiking, and the pre shaped moleskin sells on its own for anyone who has ended a trip early over a blister. Pair these with our first aid kits selection, hunting knives, and flashlights.
