$250 first aid "kit"

[00tec]

The basic stuff you would see on a camping trip along with what may be seen at a minor car accident. Don't need the real serious stuff (wouldn't do me much good as I don't know advanced first aid.)

The next logical question is;
How much alcohol goes with you on camping trips?

About a keg and a half for a 4 day trip with 3 people.

One more reason to attend one of cmaillirds [spck] classes.

For the most part match the stuff is an Adventure Medical Kit for your basic stuff. You can get on the WEBSITE and look at the supplies in each kit. Not sure on what you can and cannot buy with FSA/HSA money but from what I have seen in the past an Adventure Medical Kit is ok to purchase, if not match the supplies. Now that said just about everything in those kits are for Boo-Boo type stuff and contain no real life saving supplies. Add a Tourniquet (CAT), Pressure Dressing (OLAES), Chest Seal (Halo), Hemostatic Agent (Combat Gauze or Celox Rapid). All told that is an additional $100 of true life saving stuff. None of it requires additional certification and all can be used by anyone.

Camping and car accidents can result in the same injury patterns we talk about in Casualty Care, just much more rare and more difficult to actually accomplish (to increase you chances, just add alcohol), but it CAN happen. We had one member here save his dogs life with these tools, for me that is more than enough reason to have it.
