First Aid Kits

[Eagle]

Sooner or later many of you will have need of a first aid kit. If you're a former Boy Scout, like me, you practice "Be Prepared!" If you participate in organized trail rides, the sponsoring club may (like NAXJA) require a first aid kit in your vehicle. If you head out on your own to see where that dirt roads leads beyond the horizon, it only makes sense to have a first aid kit.

 

What brings this to mind is that, in cleaning up some piles of old papers in my home office, I stumbled across printouts from the web site I found when I was organizing NACFest events for our chapter of NAXJA. That web site is no longer functional but I got curious and went surfing. Finally found another site that sells the same kits. There's a wide variety on here, with a good range of prices. You can find everything from a $3 or $4 pocket/glovebox kit with a couple of Bandaids and some disinfectant to professional-grade "First Responder" kits suitable for equipping an ambulance or rescue truck.

 

So, before I lose the info again, here's the link. I suggest you bookmark this page:

After a lot of comparing what comes in the various kits, I settled on the FA-134, which I supplement with a couple of CPR face shields and exam gloves.

P.S.

 

I see they offer a discount for multiple kits. If enough people are interested and can agree on which kit suits their needs, perhaps a group buy might be appropriate. (Although the saving of a couple of $$ per kit may not be enough to cover postage for reshipping from wherever the bulk shipment goes.)

Wow, looks like the prices are pretty good too. I wish I would have known about this before I bought the one for the MJ at Walgreens.

 

Thanks. :thumbsup:
