Trek First Aid Kit

Great little first aid kit - I have several of these and keep them at home and on the bicycle use on bike rides.I have added to mine:- Plastic baggies: For all the waste: used dressings/wrappers/gloves etc. left over! Also useful to keep other kit dry (and blood-free!). Also to act as a clean surface/place to put stuff as you'll probably have to unpack most of the kit to get the right stuff out. This kit is small but means everything is quite well packed in there!- More plasters and plaster strips in different sizes - Plasters are the most commonly used item.- Strong Zinc Oxide tape- Wider roll of micropore tape (Better for fixing dressings as it's less likely to come unstuck.)- Wound closure strips (Boots or 3M) - As a secondary treatment to close cuts that would require stitches if you're miles away from a hospital/ambulance. (Takes a little learning how to use them but worth it.)- 2 x Duo-Derm Extra Thin Dressing 7.5cm X 7.5cm - Good for dressing grazes or as a strong protective covering once cleaned up.- A few large Melolin 10 x 20 cm x 10 Low Adherent Absorbent Dressings. Rather than lots of small sizes. If you need to stop bleeding quickly, grab a large Melolin and fold+hold, use to apply pressure and then use another one cut to size and layer/or a smaller dressing as needed. Don't faff about hunting through the kit's lots of small dressings while someone is bleeding out!.. Just have a bunch of large ones quickly to hand.- Triangular bandages seem to have gone out of fashion, but you can use anything to hand e.g. a belt, strong bangage or strap.Not standard part of first aid, but I also have in mine a small amount of Paracetamol, Ibuprofen and Hayfever tablets (Loratadine). (Yes, you shouldn't dispense these as "first aid", but adults can make their own decision if they want to take something or not.)

Ideal for keeping in a rucksack when out hiking

Great little first aid kit for throwing in your backpack. Has most of what you need. There was still enough room to add a few extra items into mine that I wanted.

I bought this to go trekking in Peru just in case something happened and a member of our trekking group slipped and cut their hand. I was able to jump right to the rescue and help them bind and bandage their cut. The only thing we realised this kit didnt have was anything to properly clean the wound (no saline or water solution) so they ended up using some antibac hand gel! (Apparently hurt more than getting the cut but it was clean I guess).

Great for those doing their Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. Or anyone wanting a basic first aid kit. I just added some additional blister plasters in case my child or any in her group needed them.

Great first aid kit for travelling with all the essential medical items needed for cuts and bruises

For use on D of E award light and ideal for the purpose.

Small enough not to cause you any issues, good quality. We’ve added two heat blanket, and a triangle bandage to ours aswell, so a little room in there. Well equipped enough to provide you with everything you need in an emergency in the middle of a mountain/hike.
