Hunter Day Pack Suggestions?

Question

I am thinking about creating a bussiness that makes packs for field craft, hunting, and other general purposes. One of the things it will contain is a basic/trauma first aid kit.

What do you think about this for a small trauma kit?

(2) Trauma Pads

(1) 4in. X 4yd. Gauze Roll

(1) Bandaging Scissors

(1) Instant Cold Pack

(1) 4in. Ace Bandage

( 2 pairs) Medium sized Nitrile Exam Gloves

(4) Providone Iodine Wipes

(4) Sting Relief Wipes

(2) Wet Ones Singles

What are your suggestions for this? Should I also inculude 1 QuikClot? Also, should I replace the instant cold pack with a Water Jel?

Answer 1

Add some burn releif. Ive made fires bunches of times and worn shorts, when i put a peice of new wood on it, and one of the coals pop out.,,

OUCH...i hate that...

Also add some jerky to every kit.  

Answer 2

while I cannot comment on your choice of a business model, I will suggest that you consider adding 'super glue' as an added wound closure armament-remember, most health professionals are going to have a lot more instrumentation, and non-professionals may not know how to use what you are including-the most important component of wilderness medicine is training, not armamentarium....make sure you include a rudimentary explanation of how to use anything you include...good luck, and yes, there are several companies doing what you are suggesting.

Answer 3

Good list so far, keep the cold pack, add more wet ones.  Outdoor injuries usually involve mud/dirt, etc in/around the wound.

Add: Aspirin for heart attacks.

Glow sticks. (can't do much in the dark)

Matches/lighter.
