Title: First aid kits Feb 2016
Post by: jetcrew on February 14, 2016, 07:59:36 PM
well i needed to get the Med supplies sorted for the Kimberley trip, Ive had a tackle box for the boat 4x4 for years which i stock as I go and a high hemorage/truma set that i have also had for a while, but needed some normal ready to go kits. did the myswag research and found the guy who was doing kits is closed so ended up with these

  https://www.firstaidkits.com.au/first-aid-kits/k150-compact-remote-area-softpack (https://www.firstaidkits.com.au/first-aid-kits/k150-compact-remote-area-softpack)

They are very good value IMHO and only needed things like antiseptic and a betadine plus a few extra band aids and some pain killers. all in all very happy with them.

1 for the camper and 1 for my day pack , my tackle box/truma pack stays with the car .

Just thought I'd share some recent feedback

Jet ;D

Fairdinkum, our first aid kit is about a quarter of that and I wouldn't have a clue what's in it or how to use it. Always carry an eye bath though.


Is anyone on here local, qualified or experienced enough to do a group first aid course. Something I should do, it's on my list.

So many people in the same situation.

Honestly just cough up the $ and do one.

Snapman, in your area there would be a course run nearly every day. If you can't afford 2 days off of work, most organizations now do Apply First Aid as a single day with some online pre-course study.

The way I look at it is, how would I feel if it were my family in need and I didn't know what to do?

Most companies would still be under $200 for the course and only needs to be renewed every 3 years, but recommended you do a CPR refresher each year.

Don't put it off any longer!
