Overland Safety: First-Aid Kits

[JeepersForVets]

I used 2 x Molle pouches on the inside of the tailgate / door for my self assembled kit , it was dead space anyway....has come in handy !View attachment 3404

Would anyone know what kind of molle panels those are and where to get them?

The only company that comes to mind is Smittybuilt....I used 2 air con vents, which i primed and sprayed in matt black, they were the perfect size and a fraction of the cost !

That's a great idea! I'll have to check out some of the local hardware stores this weekend. :)

I highly recommend when building up a med kit to build it to match the level of training and skills of the person that will actively be using the kit.

This is the best advice yet!

Nice looking kit. Throw in some hemostatic gauze and we got a deal.

Thank you. Happy to get you some hemostatic gauze but can't throw it in. Are you looking for z-fold or rolled? Also... are you partial to any particular manufacturer? Celox, Quick Clot, Chito?

The most important part of the first aid kit is not the kit itself. It's the correct knowledge on how to respond.
Take a first aid course from a certified provider.
At least know what all the items in your first aid are for and when you should use them.
If there are things in your kit that your training disagrees with discard them.
There are items, like tourniquets, that your training level does not cover make sure that it is clear that they are not to be used unless by a qualified person or advised by a professional.

I personally am certified in standard and remote area first aid.

As a certified first aid instructor, I can only support this good and valuable advice. Do regular first aid trainings. Your first aid kit is only as good as your knowledge and skills. These trainings are absolutely essential, useful and on top of that they can also be fun. We all can be in a first responder situation quicker than we sometimes think. And then you have to respond immediately and with the right approach. And that's exactly what you learn in a good first aid training.
