A good first aid kit is the perfect example of the old adage ‘buy once, cry once’, and that’s not just because they’re quite expensive. It’s because every time I needed a first aid kit and didn’t have one, I definitely cried more than once.
Every time I go camping I make sure I have a stocked first aid kit on hand, and it arrived again. Sitting around the fire and roasting marshmallows is fun, but a quirky s’more can really ruin an evening if you’re not up for it. Good thing the last time I went to the Great Outdoors (a small campground down the street) I brought my first aid kit, especially the MyFAK first aid kit. This is why I (and my slightly sunburned child) are glad I did.
Bandages and burn gel and light sticks, oh my
My old one First aid kit It was a small backpack, filled to the brim with bandages, ointment, and Tylenol. It was helpful, but it was also largely constructed based on what I thought I needed, what I had needed in the past, and what I assumed would be helpful based on my zero knowledge of first aid. This kit solves problems that I didn’t even know solutions existed.
There are more than 115 items in a kit that’s about the size of a lunchbox, and they range from bandages to blankets to painkillers, gauze, basic medications, hydration packs and more. There’s even a small burn section with soothing gel packs and a burn screen to add some coverage.
Why it’s worth the price
This kit is on sale right now, but I would even buy it at full price because it means I don’t have to buy this all again at once. Sure, I may end up running out of gauze rolls or unfolding the emergency blanket, but replacing individual items when I need them is a lot cheaper than buying them all again, and I would never have known about some of these things if I hadn’t done that. I haven’t bought a pre-packaged kit at least once.
