Adventure First Aid Kits

Does anyone know where I can find small silicone-coated nylon pouches such as the yellow ones Adventure Medical uses in their lightweight first aid kits? (USA)

Alosak makes them. I'm guessing you could find something like this or similar in sport stores. To be honest, youre purchasing the aid that is given in the pouch, not the pouch itself right?

The Adventure First Aid Kit 2.0 by Adventure Medical Kits.

I would like to purchase a nice Emergency First Aid Kit with My Flexible Spending Account (FSA).
What wouldn't qualify? Would this one that I would like to get be eligible? http://www.abfirstaidstore.com/product/f ogg/first-aid-kitslarge-kits/1500-first- aid-kit
I am frequently outdoors pursuing adventure sports like Rock Climbing, Kayaking & Backpacking and am an active Triathlete as well. This kit would be for the house and back of my SUV and would be a comfort to know it's there. I've also taken Wilderness First Responder Courses and was a Combat Lifesaver in the military so I know a few medical tricks. Would this kind of kit be eligible?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like it would be okay, as long as "[each] item [is] intended to treat or prevent a specific medical condition." Very nice kit by the way.

I do a lot of adventuring and backcountry snowboarding. If I am doing anything serious I always keep a good first-aid kit with me.

On one occasion the friend I was with fractured his elbow while we were snowboarding, and was in serious pain. It wasn't serious enough to where he needed to be airlifted or something like that but it was 2 or 3 hours before he could get to the hospital.

All I had was OTC pain killers like ibuprofen and aspirin, and wish I had something stronger like hydrocodone to give to him.

I could get hydrocodone from people I know and trust that have some left over from surgeries.
Do you guys think it is wise to keep this in my first-aid kit and administer it in an emergency?

I know it's illegal, but don't you think the benefits might outweigh the risks?

Not a smart idea. If you get busted (probably won't happen honestly), and that's a big if, you could be in serious legal issues and criminal issues. You're carrying a controlled substance w/o a prescription, you aren't certified to administer medications (especially those prescription painkillers) to patients, and you do not have a sufficient justification for carrying controlled substances on you...in other words the reasons you gave for having it won't stand in a court.


The benefits will only last from the time the person is injured to the time ski patrol gets there, which probably won't be that long a time.

It also presents issues for the rescuers in their assessment of the patient. The patient will not be able to normally detect pain, thus throwing off the care givers in determining where injury occurred.

Having the pills is a bad idea.

I've never believed dreams to mean anything, other than our minds going over recent events/things we have done and turning it into wacky entertainment. But for the last two nights my dreams have been kind of disturbing.

First one was about me and a bunch of people going on a school trip. We got a plane there, but when we landed we had to do an adventure course. Half way through, someone hurt themselves. I ran to get the first-aid kit and this blonde girl followed me. She took a knife from the kit and when we got back to the injured person she tried to kill me. My friend grabbed a pair of scissors and literally cut her in half, starting from her private bits and going up. Blood everywhere. I woke up scared.

Last nights one wasn't as scary, but still contained violence. Bunch of people in some shopping centre. It gets attacked by people with guns. Me and my friends run into a lift/elevator/whatever you want to call it. It's made of glass and is totally see through and it goes up and down, left and right, all over the place. We go the wrong way so we have to go back again. Then, suddenly, I'm supergirl but I'm not dressed like her and I don't use my powers. My friend (who, for some reason, is now Jada Pinkett Smith!) starts fighting the bad guys. I run up some stairs and get captured.

What's with all the death and violence? I'm freaked out. I can only guess Jada Pinkett Smith came from something I'd seen on TV, but the rest is a mystery.

Your first paragraph is true! but it sounds to me like you are pretty angry about or with something or somebody....yes?

Once spring semester is over, my girlfriend and I, as well as my best friend from college are planning on taking a massive road trip across the USA. The sense of freedom and adventure awaits me. As far as logistics go, we are all nineteen and twenty years old and have 10 thousand dollars to spend on the trip between us.

We plan on packing up my 88' Jeep Wrangler and hitting the road starting from Dallas, Tx. We will pack the following:
-Hiking gear and camping equipment
-3 bicycles on a bikerack
-1 Backpack each full of clothes and personal hygiene stuff
-Laptop, camera, cellphones, spare tire, first aid kit, auto repair kit
-Some sick music to play on the road
-We plan on buying food from farmers markets and stopping to eat at hole in the wall restaurants. We want to avoid places like McDonalds and want to eat at local favorites.

So Yahoo answers, what else should we pack? More importantly what places should we go visit? We have all the time in the world and no plans, so we will go with the flow.

No itinerary, hit the road and let the journey unfold as you go. Leave your watch at home, forget about time, forget about destinations, just go.
