    http://www.nols.edu/store/product.ph...5&cat=0&page=1 what are your thoughts on this one Andrew? I need a good first aid kit in my scout, is this something that would be good for a guy like me to carry... someone with no medical training.

    It's got all the basics in it. First aid really comes down to how creative you can get with what you've got. I'd probably go with this one: http://www.nols.edu/store/product.ph...cat=282&page=1 It's considerably less, and the only major difference is the amount of gauze it comes with. Gauze is fairly cheap. It can also be made yourself. A standard sized T-Shirt will make some 30' of gauze if you cut it in a spiral form up the length of the shirt. Boil it and it's sterile. Either or would be good, just depends on how much you want to spend. Gauze is cheap http://www.buyemp.com/product/1111002.html you get 100 pads for 6 bucks.

    Same goes for you Chris. The buy EMP website does free shipping on all orders over 100$. None of it's really rocket science. The drugs are what you've got to be careful with, especially the Asprin. I would not advise giving this to anyone in a medical emergency. Take it yourself for pain, but don't give it to anyone else. It can potentially cause problems.

    After everything gets ordered and arrives I'd be more than happy to run a small first aid course to answer any questions and such for everyone's new equipment.

    Some things that are really useful:

    http://www.nols.edu/store/product.ph...256&bestseller These can be used for nearly everything!!!!!! You can also make them yourself out of old shirts and sheets and such...Much cheaper that way.

    http://www.nols.edu/store/product.ph...cat=256&page=2 These are pretty cool! great bandages. Once on, you can't even tell it's there.

    Roller gauze is also pretty useful. Make sure you've got some heavy duty medical grade tape. You don't want to use duct tape on the skin, it can rip it off if it stays on for any length of time. If it's on gauze that's OK just not directly on the skin.

    Yea, Pete sent me a message as well. We're still working on details. For those that are interested I mentioned www.buyemp.com in a previous post, all orders over 100$ from here receive free shipping so check it out as well. Possibly get an order there as well. They have a lot more of the individual items. It's a great place to buy the Cravats (triangular bandages) A box of 12 is just over 7$

    Good choice for an all-purpose. My kit is stocked, I just need to find me some more non-adhesive dressing. It is good stuff.

    I suppose I will go for the ultralight as well. I need to get something in the scout and I am running out of room fast. This seems like a good thing to have.

    I am rather found of Vet rap to be honest with you. its pretty great stuff and literally only sticks to itself. its primary use is for horses and such. But its more than fit for human use. My grandma is a vet, or i'd never even thought of the stuff.

    Thanks, never heard of it. Is there a proprietary name for it, or is it just called Vet Wrap?

    Those who are interested in an ultralite please specify which one you want. There is the 2.0 and the 3.0. The 3.0 is a couple bucks more, has more tape, more meds, and a little more bandaging stuff. Let me know which one you want I'll put you down on the list. thanks!

    Everybody needs a basic to excellent first aid kit in their rig....period...Get one...

    Vet Wrap you will probably find at We Be Pets 'N S***(Pets R US). It is where I have to go to find DMSO...They have a decent supply of basic animal patch up stuff there...
