First Aid Accessories

Unless you are able to acquire medical supplies in bulk and/or free of charge, most of you will save time and money by purchasing one of the many excellent, commercially prepared outdoor medical kits from Atwater Carey. Atwater Carey Kits are well-made, offering durability, well-organized supplies, easy access, and space to add on to the included supplies. Plus, the items in them were chosen by wilderness medicine experts.

Carry written outdoor first aid instructions like the pocket sized book Backcountry First Aid and Extended Care included with many Atwater Carey Kits. In an emergency, a brain tends to be more like a sieve than a bowl, and you can fight frustration by reading what you can’t remember.

Take note: Aside from a few specific emergencies – such as anaphylaxis – your medical kit is designed primarily to ease pain, speed healing, and prevent further injury. It is knowledge and the ability to use that knowledge that makes the difference between life and death in a critical situation. Learn what you can do for the seriously hurt or sick person and carry that expertise with you all times.
