A kit I received used to be valid until 5.2017. It is unnecessary to receive a kit that contains more than one medication. An expired license has been valid for five years.
Rather than sending me a smaller one, Amazon sent me a larger one. Since I only have a kit for 4 people, I can't say for sure whether or not the kit is appropriate. In this case, 7 would be appropriate. Sorry for the delay
In addition to the items already listed, I was able to add the following Ibuprofen bottle of a small size. Shears used by Emergency Medical Technicians. It is a good idea to pack and consider everything carefully so that you don't forget anything big. Since this is a great kit for starting from, think about it. IRC *bref SRC

The file is indeed lightweight and its contents are well formulated. In case you're wondering, the difference between the two is. I have put 5 and in bold italics. It is quite small to have 7 kits Here we have. One more large bandage is included in 7, along with a pair of gloves, a length of duct tape, and medical tape that is 1" wide, not 1/2" wide. In the event that Just stick a pair of gloves and some duct tape inside it and get it for less.
I have had this kit for close to two years now. Until yesterday, I had no reason to use it. There is a zip tie on the zipper that appears to be uncut upon arrival, which means that the zipper has never been opened. For the first time, I opened the bag and took out the inner pack that is "100% waterproof. ". The pack had been soaked by water, and all of the items inside the pack were destroyed. The last time this happened was how many trips ago? Having only used this as part of a kayak for five or six trips since purchasing it, I only wish I had bought it sooner. I am thankful that I did not need this for anything life threatening while in the wilderness. I am so disappointed in the product, and I will have to incur the expenses & inconvenience to get a new one The time has come to replace all of the equipment.
This is a very rare review for me, but the quality of this product drew me to it A first aid kit was included in the assembled kit. My experience includes both 911 emergency response as well as long-distance transport of patients. I normally assemble my first aid kits, but this kit caught my eye in a local shop, and I realized it had everything I need for comprehensive short-term treatment of most traumas There are many things that can go wrong when hiking, including cuts and scrapes, which are usually treated with first aid kits. In the event that you suffer an impalement, a broken limb, or other type of serious trauma, what would you do? There are dressings and bandages for stopping bleeds from penetrating trauma in this kit, as well as tape to secure impaling objects. It contains duct tape as well as bandages to wrap up a makeshift sling in case of a broken limb. In the outdoors, you could develop a variety of medical complications. The medicines provided can help you treat them. If, after drinking water from a river, you still get diarrhea, Diamode allows you to stop the dehydration associated with diarrhea until you can get more advanced medical attention. While it won't replace your doctor's care, this kit is adequate for keeping you alive and ambulatory long enough for you to seek medical attention.
Because of the packaging, it is a little unwieldy. There's nothing better than a kit like this. There are a lot of quality bits packed in here, and it weighs a lot less than it would otherwise. Taking away a star for the packaging is the only reason it doesn't get five stars. Each of the first aid items is contained in separate plastic packages inside the main package. Just a little bit of a hassle pulling those two packages in and out of the bag. A first-aid kit like this would be better if it had some YKK Aqua Seal zippers in a clamshell design like they have on their other first-aid kits. Being able to unzip the kit and have easy access to all of the contents would be appealing. In sum, but for that one small gripe, I consider this a very good backpacking kit. This particular size is one of the best I've seen in this lineup, though there are smaller kits as well.
It was a part of my back packing essentials that I purchased. It was the "Water Tight" label on this particular kit that did most of the convincing for me. I thought the contents were okay. Nothing to write home about, The problem is. With regards to the "watertight" claim, the inner bag is actually equipped with a simple sealing device similar to a ziploc As long as the zip lock is good quality, this is not a problem. I barely have to squeeze to open it after sealing it and then barely pressing. Now that I have inserted it into a standard zip lock bag, I am ready to use it.
It appears that the bag should work okay, and the seams have been taped on the inside, but the zipper is weak and not very smooth moving, and it is not watertight. How long it will last will only be revealed with time, but my initial impressions are a little worrying.
The impression isn't great. The upgrades from didn't come with the unit. This was a list of 7 kits. In addition, there is no room to add anything to the kit that you might consider essential, so be sure not to add any components to it. Further, even though it claims this kit is HSA approved, it did not allow my credit card to be charged, so the transaction was charged to another card in my account. The only reason I ordered it was because it said it was HSA eligible. I wish I would have stuck with my own home-made kit instead. I have given it three stars because I cannot say it was bad in any way, just that it does not satisfy my needs.
Overall, an adequate kit for the price, but there are a few areas where it falls short. like the idea of using ziploc bags within a nylon bag, but one of them needs to be refolded in half across the bag's seal in order to be shipped. The zipper wasn't able to pull from the plastic when it was first used and it was not able to seal tightly when it arrived. It is also a bit too small for the nylon bag to fit into the plastic bag. In honor of In the 9 size, it would have been much easier to pack if the outer bag were large enough to hold the plastic bags without the top having to be folded
In order to make room for additional items, I had to repack everything in ziplock bags of my own. In addition to a few small everyday items, I can now add a few days' supply of common pain relievers. The products in my kit were purchased from Amazon, and were shipped and sold by Amazon in 2017, the expiration dates for all medicines and ointments were second half of.
