Adventure Medical Kits Climbing Gear Review

Think like a Boy Scout and “always be prepared” with this nifty first aid kit. It includes anti-septic wipes, ointment, and bandages for cuts and scrapes; medication for pain and inflammation; and blister treatment. It’s small (5.3” x 5”), packable, lightweight (2.3 oz.), and waterproof to keep everything useable after a downpour. Although this doesn’t replace actual first aid training or knowledge, it’s perfect to throw in a pack or a crashpad without taking up much space or adding weight. It’s a good foundation to build a larger kit from, if you need it. And the price is real nice.
