LDS Preparedness Manual Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I found this to be an interesting book regarding emergency preparedness. Parrett includes experiences and advice from Katrina. This book is to be sold for cost only and is available to print from online just search the title and look for the pdf file. Could potentially worry or cause fear if like me you are woefully unprepared at the moment. Definantely working on preparing more now.

SOL 3 Survival Medical Gear Aid by Adventure Medical Kits Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Combines first aid and standard survival kit items. Well worth buying. I didn't give it 5 stars because I personally thought the pouches could be slightly bigger, and the material a bit stronger. Overall, you should buy it (I would just personally add some extra stuff).

Adventure Medical Kits AMK Comprehensive 2010 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had one of these kits since 1992, and I highly recommend it. From the Dental Module to the CPR Module to the SAM splint, this kit has many of the items you'll need in an emergency, and is worth every penny you'll spend on it.
If you work or play hard in the outdoors (I used to do surveying in the back-of-beyond, as well as a lifelong camper/backpacker/bikepacker), this kit is all you could hope for, with a few suggested additions. Get the EpiPen or other epinephrine injector the included book recommends, and I'd highly recommend getting a second SAM splint, the SAM instructional DVD/Video, and a pack of SAM finger splints.
There's a list of suggested for-emergency-use prescription medications; if you get them, also get a 14-day supply of each prescription medication you (or a family member) need on a daily basis. If you're getting this for an earthquake or other natural disaster kit, you'll need them anyway. Have them in this kit to make them easier to find. If you take OTC medications, add a pack of each of them as well; you can rotate them out yearly. If you change your smoke detector battery on Daylight Savings Time change days, it's also a good time to go through this kit and update it.
It's a bit heavy, so you might have to split up the modules if you're backpacking in a group, but this kit can handle many of the oops moments we all see in our lives, and not just in the outdoors. When I'm not out and about it sits in my house, where it's handled everything from scalp wounds to broken bones and even severe burns. Even if you're rushing out to the nearest hospital, this kit can bring a calmer mindset to the patient, as it's obvious you're at least ready and able to help.
Just make a list of what you use and refill it! I can't stress that enough! That's the most common error with getting this kit - people don't get the refills and are out of a critical item in an emergency.
This kit's worth it - 16 years on mine and still going strong! You can't go wrong with Adventure Medical Kits. Get this one, get another, but GET ONE.

OLAES 4" Modular Bandage Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like the olaes over the israeli, however the largest I've found is 6" bandage, this one being a 4". So for limb and smaller torso hemorrhaging, these are great, for large abdominal/torso wounds, there is an israeli 12". The plastic "thumb" presser, is actually for helping applying direct pressure, as well as continuing to apply pressure from the wrap stretched over it- taking place of what would have been several gauzes mashed on top of eachother to create extra pressure. An innovative invention that worked. I know. Astonishing.

3M 8000 N95 Particle Respirator Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Aside from recent challenges expressed by others in obtaining N95 respirators, I ordered a 30 pack from Deerso at $13.98/box and received them promptly. I should hope that anyone reading these reviews realizes that the bulk of the negative feedback is not product related, but just people caught up in the swine flu hysteria.
As stated, this is a good mask for a great price. Anyone familiar with the various types of respirators on the market will realize that a N95 is a far better mask than those marketed as "dust masks" you find at the hardware store. Those sell for $2-$5 for a two pack, these provide better protection and at $13-$15 for a box of 30, is a much better bargain.
The mask is perfect for anyone with alergies and/or asthma, which pretty much describes me. They are firm to the touch, as opposed to the soft cloth green surgical N95's (which cost more), and have dual elastic straps that hold tight throughout a long day. They are perfect for the garden, cleaning around the house & yard, changing the cat litter, doing anything with flour, and especially dusting & vacuming. Compared to softer masks, this mask actually breathes better and I don't sweat under it as much.
Like all masks, the metal nose clip is very helpful and, perhaps this is just my imagination, seems to hold better. Meaning it doesn't give way as easily as other brands I have tried, where you have to keep pinching it every so often to close the gap over your nose. This is a big issue to anyone like myself who wears glasses and they keep fogging up if your mask doesn't fit well.
As for my two cents on whether or not this is a good "flu mask," N95 means the mask will prevent 95% of particles from getting through. The only way to be really, really sure is to get a N100 mask and have it be a full fask mask as germs can just as easily get into you via your eyes and ears. Is anyone seriously going to wear one of those all the time?
For me, a N95 mask is better than a regular mask and falls into the category of "good enough" (for me).
Overall, this was a great buy.

First Aid Only, OSHA First Aid Kit (Large, 25 Person) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I spent some time bid tabbing first aid kits before making this purchase. What I found is that this kit will deal with almost every basic household first aid need, plus some more.
After you buy this kit, I'd recommend adding a few safety pins (for blisters and for dressings) and an instant cold compress (for burns or bruises). If you're going to put the kit in a cabin or take it on vacation, add some waterproof matches.
Overall, this kit is a top notch and perfect for Kitchen or Basement. I gave one to my uncle for his cabin and it's great there, too.
One caution: A lot of the kits have more components, but unless you spend some time filtering through the component lists, you'll end up with 15,000 3/4" band aids instead of the variety of tools you need to treat your cuts and bruises.

Urgent QR For All Cuts and Scrapes 4 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I take blood thinners and every little scratch and cut bleeds forever. But, not anymore. I've been using QR for about 8 months and it stops bleeding instantly, as advertised. It's saved a lot of otherwise ruined clothes and awkward moments trying to stop bleeding that won't stop. I highly recommend this product. I wish QR would sell this product in a bigger box with more doses than the four in a standard package. I carry this in my briefcase, have it in a desk in my office, my drawer at home, one in the car, one in my tackle box and of course my 1st Aid kit.

Adventure Medical Kits Fundamentals First-Aid Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used this once.
I would echo one reviewer's comments about the very practical feature of labeled velcro tabs that mark the separate compartments of this kit. If you're alone, hurt, and in a hurry you don't want to have to pour out a bunch of unrelated stuff and sort through it for what you want.
It's very compact, great for camping/backpacking. Or it's good just around the house if you need it.
Excellent product.

Water Jel Burn Jel, For Fast Relief of Minor Burns 4 fl oz (118 ml) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have used this product for many years. I picked up a iron skillet from the stove not thinking it was hot because pots usually have the heat protectant handles - I should have had a bad blister - I grabbed the water gel burn gel from my work stock as I was selling for a company that sold this at the time - my hand did not even blister - the reddness went away. I burn myself now with a curling iron or on the stove and grab this product. The pain goes away and no blistering or reddness. I totally love it and always want to keep it in my first aid kit.

Adventure Medical Kits Pocket Survival Pack Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Doug Ritter and his foundation, Equipped to Survive, has come up with a very economic method to equip yourself and your family with an emergency kit. It is small enough to carry unnoticed in a pocket, yet fully functional.
Although you can control the amount of certain items if you put together your own kit (something of a rite of passage among the survivalists/emergency preparedness folk), I spent twice as much putting together a comparable kit. The military issue sparklite and tinder-quick, Fox-40 whistle, and Rescue Flash signal mirror alone could cover the cost of the kit and they are all top notch gear. This pack is extremely high quality through and through, from choice of equipment to packing and instructions. I recommend looking at the ETS website at the slideshow of how such a kit is put together and what Doug Ritter himself recommends that you add to the kit (the pouch can hold a few more small items such as water purification tabs).
The Pocket Survival Pack is an amazing value. I've purchased all of the items separately, and just the shipping or driving to pick up 3 or 4 of the items probably covers half the cost! If you are lucky enough to get everything at one store, you'd be hard pressed to get the entire kit as cheap as this. I know people who have purchased this kit to take the parts for their own self-built survival kits! That's how economical it is. Plus, if you buy this PSP, a portion of the proceeds goes to the ETS non-profit group which gives free survival consulting to deployed troops and is actively involved in improving survival equipment and standards. In fact, Doug Ritter is the only consumer advocate working with the governing body on personal locator beacons used in marine, aviation, and remote travel.
The kit itself comes in a waterproof container. I found it to be a bit tight when closing back up, but there is actually some room for more items. All components are of the highest quality. It's lightweight and I never notice it in a pocket. With the recommended ETS or similar keychain LED flashlight and a good pocket folding knife, you have a complete survival kit that rivals ones costing $100+. These are cheap enough to get one for each car and any camping/hiking/marine/aviation gear you might have. I highly recommend this PSP. I'm not affiliated with ETS, but I've come to appreciate their no-nonsense advice and forums. And if this was a bad kit, I'd still say so. I give it 5 stars, great value for the price and it really could save your life.

Smart Traveler First Aid Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this first aid kit for my brother when he bought his first car. I bought him this along with a multiple tool to leave in his car for whatever would come up. My wife and I do a lot of outdoorsy stuff, hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, biking, diving and more. We actually have different first aid kits that we bought at Costco, but they no longer carried them when I went to buy this. I wanted something that had a first aid book, lots of stuff, and room for more. Having something wih pockets and flaps for organization is extremely useful. There's nothing worse when there is a problem than having to dump the contents out to find what you're looking for. This kit has all the basics (including blister protection, very important), and it's easy to raid at the start of an adventure when your best friend realizes they've forgotten something, or have decided to use their boots for the first time ever on an 11 mile in backpacking trip. It's easy to replenish, and supplement, the price is right, you'll find kits with comparable features in stores and on Amazon for twice the price. So far my brother hasn't used it much, but it's been there when he's wanted it, and it's had what he wanted, and that's what counts.

He came home with no blisters, no burns, and not in pain. No kitchen, shop, or house with a wood stove should be without it!!!!!!! It should be in your camping gear as well!!
