AWESOME Kit... I bought it for the main purpose of treating wounds/lacerations at our campsite... last summer, my son cut his heel about 1 1/2" laceration stepping on some old construction glass from when our house was built. Out in the woods, it would be a major inconvenience to come back in for a simple wound closure with sutures at the ER for something I can take care of myself... a broken leg/arm, now that's a different story.

Nice kit. I've added a couple boxes of Syvek patches and a couple QuickClot packages to mine. I've also added a smokin hot nurse to go with it :)

Thanks for the tip on Quik-Clot, I haven't heard of that brand before, but the above company sells them:

Pennicillin = :violent085: Also don't antibiotics have to be kept cold?
