First Aid Kit - upgrade to kit contents required

[Eeyore]

Where's the electrical tape? That's my go to for most hand cuts. Never use the black tape, it leaves yucky black sticky stuff. Use the colored stuff. Buy the good stuff: 3M 33.

If you have medications in there, keep in mind not to administer them to someone if you are not a medical professional as some people are allergic to some medications. That doesn't mean you can't lay out your first aid kit and the patient administer it themselves.

um. Thanks Doc. I think the Advil will be ok….

Yah the standard kit is basic. The field kit is probably not worth the cost. The shovel that is included is a joke (plant potting shovel). And the tourniquet is... I guess it could work in a pinch. Lots of affordable and superior options available elsewhere.

In any case, the field kit does not appear to be available any longer in the Gear Store.

But do show up secondhand in forums and eBay, in case anyone thought they'd spend $ on one. That's the point. Not worth it at any price.

Even with Good Samaritan laws on the books, you never know if someone will sue you if you administer medication to another person and they have an adverse reaction. While Advil is generally safe, there are a number of contraindications that would preclude the use of a nsaid.

Best practice is to make it available to the individual and allow them to choose/self-administer (as HaveBlue stated). Just make sure it's not expired!

I tried to get some in France when I was there. They wouldn't OTC any without a doctor's note or perscription.

Portable bidet. Level up your experience.

I keep a bottle of seltzer at hand and shake it up to give me the just so fresh feeling in such emergencies!

I just have a trauma kit in my go bag, stored in the lower frunk. No need to be restricted by the Rivian form factor or to pay those gear shop premiums.

Damn y’all need to carry ziplocks, baby wipes, and hand sanitizer
