After much research, I picked up the Adventure Medical “Sportsman” initially aid kit just prior to an ATV trip in the mountains of West Virginia. Last year I rolled my ATV, and another member of our party also had an injury. Fortunately, neither were serious. But, I realized that no-one had any form of initially aid kit, which was foolish. Accidents DO happen, and it could have been MUCH worse. Though I am a former Red Thwart-certified trail guide with initially aid and CPR certifications, treatment recommendations have changed over the years and I have not kept up to date. Since no-one in my group was current on initially aid or CPR, I needed both a initially aid kit AND a guide.
Enter the Adventure Medical Kits Sportsman Kit. Foremost, the roughly 8×6″ size of this kit (3.5″ thick) was not as bulky as I anticipated. That was really a excellent thing, because I did not have much room to spare and wanted to place it in my backpack. It was the perfect size for that. The nylon rip-stop construction of the bag is very durable, and the individual, labeled pockets inside keep all well organized. The case has a reflective strip on the outside that would make it simple to locate in the dark, or to use as an identifier at night if someone were looking for you with a light or you needed to use it as a hazard cone.
Inside, this kit has pretty much all you would need for a day or weekend on the trails. About the only thing I felt it was lacking is a CPR mask, but you can make do with a glove with the fiddle with cut out. The kit came with pretty much all one would need, including aspirin and ibuprofen. Since we were going to be on the trails all day, I added some Immodium (for obvious reasons) and some additional Advil and Tylenol. I also added some a few extra band-aids and a rubber strap (for tournicut or sling usage). If we were going to be gone longer, I might consider adding some cipro or some other kind of antibiotic. Keep in mind that if you are primarily out hunting, you may wish to consider the Adventure Medical Kits Hunter Kit, which includes equipment for hanlding gunshot wounds. While this kit is NOT the peak of all medical kits, it will address 90% of all things you might want. A few minor additions, such as a small pocket knife, an emergency thermal blanket, a whistle, an instant cold compress, and perhaps Polar Pure Water Disinfectant would round it out nicely. You should be able to fit most of persons items in this kit. If your trip will last longer than 2-3 days or your group is larger than 5-7 people, you may wish to consider the Adventure Medical Kits Outfitter. It is more bulky, but much more comprehensive.
As for the accompanying Initially Aid guide (Comprehensive Guide to Wilderness & Travel Medicine), I found it to be FIRST CLASS. In fact, it has gotten many positive reviews itself . It is well-organized and structured, and would make it simple to determine the proper course of treatment for nearly any situation. The guide alone is worth half the price of this kit.
Overall, I vastly recommend the Adventure Medical Sportsman kit! The price is well worth what you get, in both content and peace of mind.

I wanted to buy this to keep in my dirt bike luggage for overnight camp trips and in the unexpected event of an accident. My intended use is light topical care (bandaid, eyewash, imodium), and basic stuff for severe trauma (broken arm and puncture wound). Not really focusing on much in between because I generally expect to be surrounded by 45 minutes of professional help most of the time. Also, I didn’t want a large kit because space is limited.
I plotting the construction was acceptable and will hold up fine for my intended use (protected in a compartment from any real manipulate). If it was any more “durable” it would be consuming unnecessary space/weight.
I added a few items like Iodine Tablets and Eyewash. Also to beef up the basic ‘trauma’ support including a Sam Splint, triangular sling, wound closure strips and normal size shears for cutting off heavy clothing (the scissors that come with are predestined to cut through regular clothing – jeans at most.
I would buy it again. It serves it’s purpose.

Excellent value for the money. Exceptional choice for a camping kit or “bug-out” bag.

Really excellent product. I did not come to use it (which is excellent
) but it has all you need

I got this kit as a mandatory requirement for my Kayak. It has the basics of initially aid in it as well as a few other things that come in handy. The most vital feature of this kit though, is the small initially-aid book. This thing covers from A to Z in outdoor medicine. Worth the price just for the book alone. All else is just a bonus!
