Customer Reviews of Adventure Medical Kits Sportsman Kit

Customer Review: Just the right size for your adventure!
Summary: 5 Stars

(review updated 12/08/09)
After much research, I picked up the Adventure Medical "Sportsman" first 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. However, I realized that no-one had any form of first aid kit, which was foolish. Accidents DO happen, and it could have been MUCH worse. Though I am a former Red Cross-certified trail guide with first 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 first aid or CPR, I needed both a first aid kit AND a guide.

Enter the Adventure Medical Kits Sportsman Kit. Foremost, the roughly 8x6" size of this kit (3.5" thick) was not as bulky as I anticipated. That was actually a good thing, because I did not have much room to spare and wanted to put 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 everything well organized. The case has a reflective strip on the outside that would make it easy 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 everything 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 finger cut out. The kit came with pretty much everything 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 supplies for hanlding gunshot wounds. While this kit is NOT the pinnacle 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 those 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 First 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 easy to determine the proper course of treatment for almost any situation. The guide alone is worth half the price of this kit.

Overall, I highly recommend the Adventure Medical Sportsman kit! The price is well worth what you get, in both content and peace of mind.
