The first call with any first aid kit is whether you want it filled already or would rather stock it yourself. The outdoor survival kit comes filled, with an emergency blanket, a triangular bandage, a compression bandage, tweezers, medical tape, antiseptic wipes and sterile gauze in a beige case of about 30 x 20 cm. It also has a whistle for getting attention, and it packs in with the rest of our survival gear for a hike or a 4WD trip.
The Survival Handy kit comes in 51 or 121 pieces, and its list runs from plasters and an elastic bandage to cotton wool, alcohol wipes and a first aid guide. Read the list rather than the piece count, since what matters is whether the bandages and dressings you'd reach for are in there. If you want fire and navigation tools in the same bag as the first aid, look at our survival kits as well.
If the cupboard at home is already full of supplies, an empty bag lets you sort them your way. The first aid kit bag and the empty first aid kit bag are both box-shaped in 600D Oxford fabric and measure 23 x 13 x 7.5 cm. Both come in red or white, and the empty one also comes in blue. The cube shape holds its form rather than slumping in the glovebox. For something smaller, the first aid pouch has an embroidered white cross and comes in red, blue or pink, in 15x10.5cm or 18x13cm.
For a pack strap or belt, the war survival bag is 600D nylon with an internal pocket and a MOLLE system, so it mounts where you want it. The complete first aid kit sits in a 20x17x10cm tactical bag with a place for each item. Its contents include bandages, medical scissors and a CPR mask, and it comes in green or khaki camouflage, black, red or army green.
Red is easy to spot in a crowded boot or a dark tent, while camo and khaki suit people who'd rather blend in. Check the kit before each trip and top up anything you've used. A length of paracord in the same pack lets you hang the bag from a branch at camp, off the ground and easy to find.
