Best first aid kit?

[Colts Ironman]

When I was in LE and executive protection I was always issued kits and I came close to buying one at the last Indy gun show. Can anyone recommend a good one for home and travel?

I'd like to get one that has surgical supplies. Staple kit, etc. And also gun shot wounds plus the little things like splinters and paper cuts lol

Many people recommend a systems approach.

Adventure Medical Kits have been in the industry a long time, and they have a variety of kits for different purposes. Also, you can pick up some of these at Cabela's (just saw them on the shelf this past weekend.)

I've got several of these for trauma. https://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/trauma/trauma-kits/trauma-pak-with-quikclot.html

I've also built several of my own kits from boo boo kits, to trauma kit's with tourniquets and chest seals.

Here's a good video going over one such product line. Not giving any recommendation for them, just their approach. You can look on their website for prices.



Another source I've used.

I bought a cheap “camping“ kit at Walmart for the basic bandaids, aspirin, sun lotion, ivy cream and such then bought a med kit bag to build my own advanced kit with tourniquets, bleed stop, 4 inch wound bandages, chest seals…

Whatever kit you purchase or empty bag & build. Keep it on the outside of any other bag you may carry, go for a red bag or get patches for it so everyone knows what it is. Always keep the basics easily accessible so you don't have to dig and constantly repack it. Rotate the stock with expiration dates to your house or other more frequently used kits. Also look into multi purpose/use items.

Here's what I have for OTC med's for common stuff. Much easier to buy pill bottles, and break them up into tiny bags.

what it's for - name - date packaged - dosage (# dose) / day

Thanks for all the recommendations! I might need a hospital vs a kit once WWIII gets to us lol

I would check into North American Rescue. They have a lot of quality first aid kits geared towards what it sounds like you are looking for.
