Adventure Medical Kits Mountain Series Medical Kit - Hiker - Emergency Medical First Aid Kit - For 2 People for 2 Days - Comes with a Trauma Pad, Medicine, Guide Book & More

Great first aid kit. Just enough of everything for a couple days or to keep in your car for minor emergencies. I've been buying this brand for years and it never disappoints.

The packaging is small, but it has plenty and is nicely organized. I have always found their kits to be good quality.

loved this. came with everything i needed and even some space to squeeze in any personal medication in little baggys.

I've purchased several Adventure Medical Kits first aid kits, and this one is on par with the rest. Overall, I like the size and form factor, combined with the clearly labeled compartments to find what you need fast, or for someone who is unfamiliar with your first aid kit to find things. Whether the labeling saying it covers a certain number of people for a certain number of days is accurate is debatable, but I think the contents are a good value for what you pay. Unless you are outfitting several medical kits, and therefore plan to buy the supplies in bulk, I don't think it's easy to buy the same contents individually for less cost - I've priced this out informally. All of the contents was as described, with the exception of the gauze pads. Some of the sizes were different than advertised, though the total quantity was the same. The Adventure Medical Kits web site states some contents may be substituted, and I feel the gauze pad substitutions were adequate. Additionally, the medications pack had an expiration date of about 20 months from the date of purchase, so I think that's more than acceptable as well. Note that this kit is pretty small (search for it on YouTube so you can see it in comparison to other objects; the size isn't easy to visualize from the picture), so if you want to add your own items, keep that in mind. You do have enough room to add things like extra bandages, gauze pads, and medications, even more so if you remove the medical guidebook, and flatter items fit better. However, if you plan to add any bulky items, like larger tourniquets, pressure bandages, etc., you'll want to look elsewhere. If you just plan to add more of what's already in the kit, or otherwise flat items, (especially if you remove the guidebook), you'll be fine. Keep in mind the size and form factor are meant for basic first aid for very short duration trips, not serious trauma care. Even the 5x9" pad in the "stop bleeding fast" pocket isn't going to stop any bleeding for which a tourniquet would be suited or where you'd want a professional pressure bandage. I honestly can't think of any cons considering the intended purpose of this kit. If I had to think of any, I'd say the roll of medical tape is pretty short if you needed it for, say, taping up a sprained ankle rather than just taping on some bandages; they probably could have fit a longer roll. The elastic bandage and the compressed gauze roll also seem fairly short, and maybe could have been longer and in a flat-fold packaging rather than rolled. Including a flat-packed triangular bandage sling-and-swathe use would be nice, but gain, this seems to be intended as a very basic kit, and that's easy to add after the fact. One other note, is that there was oddly a folded up napkin (clean and unused, fortunately) in the pocket where the medical guidebook is, as someone else mentioned in one of the 1-star reviews. I contacted Adventure Medical Kits about this, which said, "This was a design purpose for show when they were on display. So yes this was planned...". I don't understand what display purpose this napkin could serve, but at least it was intended and doesn't indicate the packaging was tampered with. Additionally, the plastic tie holding the zipper closed was intact. I also contacted Tall Ridge, the Amazon Marketplace vendor (who Adventure Medical Kits confirmed to me is an authorized reseller), who said all of their products ship as they receive them from the manufacturer.

This saved us so much space in a long hike. It had all the needed essentials and came in clutch multiple times. I live how organized it is inside so you can quickly find what you need.

While I’m not a professional hiker I am a professional paramedic. This kit is lightweight and compact yet carries most essential medical supplies that you need to address common ailments and minor emergencies. I wouldn’t recommend it for an extended hike such as the entire Appalachian Trail but for most novice weekenders this will meet your needs without breaking the bank or taking up valuable space in your bag.

I've used AMK kits for years. I have them in various sizes in camping gear, travel bag, bicycle pannier, etc. This is my favorite yet. I love the way it unfolds, with various compartments, labeled so I can find what I need easily. I always make mods to first aid kits, but the basic supplies are fine.

Just the right amount of supplies for a short hike or camping adventure. And there is space to add a few more small items if needed. I like how it’s organized and labeled so you know exactly where to find what you need.
