Product Description
The longtime standard for ultralight backpacking, these Adventure Medical Kits are just as useful for traveling, kayaking, mountain biking, and any outdoor pursuit that calls for preparedness. Each kit has two levels of waterproofing—an inner DryFlex bag and an outer seam-sealed, siliconized nylon bag—and comes with enough supplies to treat common injuries and ailments without weighing you down Read More

It's WAY cheaper and a lot more practical (read: useful) to make your own med-bags for trips I think. You determine what you need, when you need it and you pack accordingly.

Dear Massdrop,
I'm a little peeved that with no limited quantity in the description and with four days remaining the .9 Kit is Sold Out!
That plus the .3 add-on kit I planned on getting is currently Massdrop's lost sale.
However, more important is the dissatisfaction Massdrop engenders with its current and future community members with such actions.
Should you be able to accommodate my stated purchase on this drop, please contact me.
Thank you.
P.S., +1 to @DannyMilks for great added value in this drop's discussion--THAT's what engagement should look like from Massdrop staffers. Also, shout out to other members posting in this discussion; too funny on top of topical insights.

scaplesWe did not expect this drop to do so well, and therefore did not have enough units reserved with Adventure Medical Kits to meet the demand. We did not note the limited quantity because we did not think it would be an issue. I contacted AMK last night, and they responded this morning with hundreds of more units on hold for our drop. So, the .9 and .3 kits are available again! @scaples - Thanks for the note. You have been heard.

Kalpesh78I bought one of these kits about 8 years ago (the .7). The shelf life of the meds was 2-3 years. That kit used to come with two Loksac watertight bags. It looks like it now comes with some proprietary bags that I'm not familiar with. Overall these are a pretty good deal, and then you can replace individual contents as used (or when expired).

HikingDawg@HikingDawg - I have an old .7 kit as well that came with the Loksaks. I can't say that the new inner bags are any better or worse, but I will tell you that I'm in talks with Loksak right now to see if we can run a drop with them!

A good first aid kit for the field should contain an inexpensive blood pressure cuff and stethoscope. Very handy for helping diagnose shock early which cannot be reversed once it reaches a certain point. It's a killer. The other use for the cuff is as a very good tourniquet. Tighten it only enough to cause the pulse below the injury to disappear. Using a tourniquet is tricky and dangerous. Learn how and when to use one properly. I was a medic for 30 years. I do not recommend store bought tourniquets. Too narrow - they damage tissue.

Good stuff. We've gotten a bit off the subject. But it's been fun and informative. I'm going to look into the CAT as I'm not familiar with it. And as far as my BP cuff, I'm locking it up in my safe deposit box as it sounds like it's becoming a rare and valuable instrument.
Now, go build you a good first aid kit! :)

I worked as a medic for 6 years. These kits have a few items I would bring, and lack some essentials. One example: there is nothing for chafing. On the east coast, anyway, chafing knocks quite a few hikers off the trail and I always have body glide or zinc oxide ointment in my pack for a long thru hike.

dannytangThe Mec kits don't come with any meds, like the MD kits do. Have to add your own Asprin, Tylenol, IB, benadryl ect.

A pretty good deal on very sensible kits. I, too, prefer to put together my own kit(s), but AMK is a good supplier and these kits are very good starting points. For my hiking kit I'd add some Burngel or similar, plus a tiny knife/scalpel, needle, AAA or smaller flashlight, magnifying glass, mirror, eye rinse cup, water purification and some local antivenom and prescription meds (stronger painkillers etc.). But YMMW, and just sitting down to think through what's necessary is very beneficial in itself.
