Camping/Hiking Emergency First Aid Medical Kit
| |
|
Many commercial first aid kits are seriously deficient. Most include little more than a few band-aids and bandages to cope with minor cuts or scrapes, some aspirin and salve, maybe a compress and triangular bandage, if you're lucky. Many low budget commercial survival kits include even less in the way of medical supplies. These hardly come close to the sort of supplies that might be needed. Authorities on wilderness and survival medicine stress the importance of carrying a comprehensive medical kit with plenty of extra compresses and large capacity bandages and dressings to cope with the traumatic injuries often associated with an aircraft or automobile crash.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that it is unlikely that an ambulance is going to pull up and take you to a hospital around the corner. This is where wilderness and survival emergency medical treatment differs from traditional first aid or EMT training. In fact, the terms "first aid" and "first aid kit" become something of a misnomer when used in the context of survival. Certainly, there will be a period of "first aid," but "survival (or wilderness) medical treatment" and "medical kit" are a more correct description. It goes far beyond initial first aid.
Ensure responsibility and make your own first aid kit! Don't wait until the last minute when everyone else is shopping too -- have you ever tried to buy batteries, water, and canned goods when the hurricane is headed our way? It's a crazy unpleasant experience! We should all be prepared and vigilant for a natural disaster, terrorist or thug related attack, incidental violence, party foul, house fire, boating or camping accident, alien invasion, or whatever... Remember if you have special medications to include those too. The bag is made by Voodoo Tactical.
