Good online source for first aid supplies

[cumminscruiser]

Can you recomend a good online source for first aid supplies. I've visited some but by the time I got to check out the shipping was a deal breaker, and sometimes I was not sure the product dates were not expired or about to be.

Amazon has lots to offer.

But why would one try to provide med care to a zombe?

I think Adventure Medical is a good source for basic (and some not so basic) first aid kits. Their kits are also available from a number of other on-line sources (including Amazon IIRC).

I'd use my local drugstore to supplement the basic kits with anything I thought was needed.

For kits check out AMP-3

Do a you tube search for amp-3

Very well thought out kits...and Dave is a great guy.

I purchased most of my stuff from a local medical supply store. Most towns have one, or a very well stock pharmacy.

Lots of good info here. Handy thread, thanks.
I'm pleased with the Adv. Med. Kits products.
I currently rock the pocket survival and mountain
fundamentals kits. Check out REI online.

Stay safe, ~B

Remote Medical International was at OX12. They brought a kit which included a suture kit and stuff for dental emergencies all in a Pelican Case.

I believe they are supplying the kits for Expeditions 7.

I also heard if you're in the Seattle area, and bring some craft beverages they'll show you around.

Right on JK, thanks for the plug and craft beverages are always welcome here in the Seattle office. We are supporting Expedition 7 and do offer a line of Overland specific first aid kits as well as a complete offering of medical supplies.

If you need help piecing together a kit let me know...it's what I do!

Safe travels,

ITS Tactical has some great low profile kits. The EDC kit is good when you are out on foot etc and don't forget to have a good tourniquet in your vehicle as well.

Combat Medical Systems is another good resource.

War experiences and recent events validate the suggestion to have a tourniquet in the medical kit

Tourniquets crucial to saving lives in Boston

The most severe injuries in the Boston bombing resemble those suffered by troops in Iraq and Afghanistan whose limbs were blown apart by improvised explosive devices —and the initial treatment was also identical: First responders — and in some instances, spectators — used tourniquets to cut off the blood flow and stop severe bleeding.

More than 170 people were hurt Monday and three people died when two explosive devices went off along mile 26 of the Boston Marathon on Boylston Street.

Hospital workers saw “many patients come in with tourniquets. Some had multiple tourniquets. They definitely saved patients’ lives,” said Michael Yaffe, a trauma physician at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, where 24 patients were treated Monday.

I can speak to RMI's professionalism and quality of training. I took their Wilderness First Aid in Seattle at the REI store and really enjoyed it. Since starting to go "out there" a little more, I wanted an update on what had changed. Good class, professional instructors and their site has some great kits/building blocks and since Joel offered -- take advantage of it!!

Stay Safe!!
