Customer Reviews of Adventure Medical Kits Comprehensive Kit
Customer Review: Good and Comprehensive Kit
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this kit as I was putting together our home disaster/earthquake preparedness kit. Overall, I am very happy with it. It is very comprehensive and contains many things I doubt (I hope) I would ever need even in the severest circumstances. I'm not going to list the contents as that would be fairly impossible, but below are main points of my experience:
* Layout - I really like the layout of this kit. It unfolds into multiple sections, each one providing good access to the contents contained therein and which are clearly visible. One very nice thing is that it has a detachable and independent zipped and water resistant kit that you can make portable from the rest. This is handy if you need to split up medical duties or go mobile with a truncated first aid kit. As it is, the kit folds up to a fairly compact bundle, which is amazing for all that is in it.
* Capability - I am impressed with the selection of bandages, pads, medications and general first aid supplies in this kit. It does seem to cover many areas well: cuts and abrasions, pain, diarrhea, sting, and allergy relief, blood loss, sprains and dislocations, and also provides a fairly good first aid manual.
* Quality - All the medications were within their valid dates and most had a couple of years left on them, which is close to the expiration date of most meds anyway. The tube of glucose (for hypoglycemics?) had ruptured out the end of the tube due to a faulty seal, however. That part was not cool. So not only did that make the glucose ineffective if I needed it, it also smeared some things in the vicinity with a nice, lemon-scented goo. (Read: Bear Magnet) In the end, this was only one thing and didn't make me feel that the kit overall was low quality. In fact, I am generally impressed with the quality of the kit. The case itself, with zippers and pouches, are all of good quality and should last through time and use.
I got this kit in a hurry as I was assembling my disaster supplies and I got lazy and just wanted something that had everything. While it really is a good kit and should cover all my needs, I should have put the majority of it together myself. One reason is perishability. When meds, even common ones, are embedded in a kit, you are less likely to rotate the old stuff out with the new. It is better to have a discrete section only for common and prescription drugs that can be easily checked on a regular basis. Secondly, a better kit contains those things that you think you will need, not what a general kit attempts to do. We have small children, for example, and that necessitates some unique things that aren't necessarily stocked in a general kit. Also, no kit can have everything - it's just not possible. So I've been adding to this one some additional gear: Splints for fingers and limbs, more of certain sizes of bandages, etc.
I have other first aid kits by AMK and they are generally excellent. I have modified all of them, however, to suit my individual needs. This comprehensive kit is very good for large groups or for an extended period for a family and covers quite a bit; I think it would have been impossible for me to assemble the same gear individually for the price.
