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.

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.

Spenco Blister Pads Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was looking for a product to protect blisters on my feet. I play flag football every week and needed something to protect my feet from blistering up each week. Unfortunately this product just falls off the skin when I played. I'm sure the product works fine for walking or something less strenuous, but for active sports and for feet blisters it will end up coming off. Turns out that using simple sports tape was my best protection cause i can cover a large area on my foot and it will not move.

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.

First Aid Only Emergency Medical First Aid Kit, 204-Piece Kit Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Admittedly, I bought this first aid kit near the end of my FSA benefit year to clear out my account. I wasn't really looking for a personal EMT kit, but wanted something better than bandaids-and-alcohol, which is what many of the less expensive kits seem to offer.
I ordered this item from Amazon (not a third party) and was initially very taken aback that the case wasn't sealed or in any sort of packaging other than the brown Amazon box. There isn't any real medicine in the kit to be tampered with, but the box itself wasn't even taped shut.
So with that, it's hard to even tell if you got what you were supposed to get, as there's no list of contents anywhere. Amazon's description says 204 pieces, and another description says 216.
The next thing that really surprised me was how soon everything in the kit expires. There was less than a year left on the antibiotic ointment, and about a year on the other liquid-based products. I checked my own medicine cabinet for reference, and saw that the items I already had were good for at least two years.
As far as the case goes, it's nothing more than an orange Flambeau tackle box. Some of the items are obviously crammed in, others seem to be arbitrarily placed wherever they happen to fit. That said, there is a huge variety of items you get: all sorts of bandages, insect sting reliever, tongue depressors, one-time-use thermometers, a rain poncho, an emergency blanket, etc. But the quality of the included items is low-end, and some items border on "questionable" in terms of quality.
For what this costs, you could build your own first aid kit with basically the same contents, but using higher quality products. Granted, you probably won't get a fancy orange pretend EMT box if you go that route. Of course, the question you might want to ask yourself isn't "Can I build the same kit?", but "Will I build myself the same kit?".

QuikClot - Nosebleed (box of 5) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My Dad is a free bleeder, usually nothing works to help it stop, and we end up in the local ER to get it to stop. This worked, and fast. No more Expensive ER visits. It works wonders. I highly recommend this product. My family loves its effectiveness.

Water Jel Burn Jel, Pain Relief 25 ea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband had part of a load of hot asphalt dumped on his bald head. Asphalt is usually 300 degrees. They used this product after they had brushed off what they could. 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!!
