Description
The Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Series Explorer Medical Kit is a comprehensive, water-resistant first aid kit purpose-built for families and small groups on week-long backcountry adventures. Built to treat common hiking injuries and illnesses, this Explorer kit packs hospital-quality supplies into a compact, durable blue case that keeps contents protected from the elements.
Sized to support 1-4 people for up to 7 days on extended camping or hiking trips, the Explorer pairs a 5″ x 9″ trauma pad and elastic bandage for serious bleeding control with a CPR face shield for safe resuscitation, an irrigation syringe, wound closure strips, tincture of benzoin, and 4″ EMT shears for major wound care. Fourteen die-cut moleskin pieces shaped to fit common hot spots stop blisters before they start, while the Easy Care organization system sorts supplies into clearly-labeled pockets with an external kit map and a reflective exterior so the kit can be located quickly at night.
Backcountry medications cover the basics: anti-diarrheal, antihistamine, aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen, triple antibiotic ointment, and single-use thermometers for accurate fever assessment. The included Wilderness & Travel Medicine: A Comprehensive Guide by Eric A. Weiss, MD, provides over 50 improvised techniques and 100 illustrations for treating outdoor injuries when help is far away. Compact at 8.50″ x 4″ x 6.50″ and weighing just 1.40 lbs, the Explorer slips easily into a pack and is ready to handle whatever the trail delivers.
