What do people use for First Aid Kits

[ifer]

I use a mini Ghost Whale pouch. Love it for easy access to everything inside!

I just use a stuff sack. Although I wasn’t prepared and didn’t get to order a size 1 when it was available in Iberian before it was discontinued. So I use a half filled Size 2 Iberian.

@LordAnubis,

They”re currently showing the Size 1 Travel Stuff Sack in Iberian as in stock. I don’t suppose you have a current preorder you could add this to? In any case, Iberian TSS in size #1 have not yet been retired.

Well that’s obviously getting added straight to my order. Thanks for nothing, enabler!

I use a clear 3DOC as my toiletry kit, which also includes a small, but flexible, first aid kit. I used to use a mini OP for first aid, but have switched to a suitably sized plastic bag, as I carry the same FAK when backpacking - a baggie is small, light, and I don't care what happens to it.

The kit contains:

• 3 alcohol wipes
• 3 sterile gauze packs about the size of a standard alcohol wipe that unfold into a 10"/25cm strip
• 1ea small and medium colloid bandages, for wounds that are likely to crack or weep
• 1ea small, med, knuckle, fingertip commercial sterile bandage/plaster
• 1 0.25in x 1.5in steri-strips 6 pack
• 2 0.25in x 1.5in steri-strips 3 pack
• 3 applicator vials of benzoin tincture, for adhesion prep and sterilization
• ~20"/50cm leukotape p wrapped around a small section of bamboo dowel
• 4 0.9g hydrocortisone packs
• 2 0.9g antibiotic packs
• Travel size pain reliever bottle repurposed for general carry, typically containing:

small info sheet with picture of pills + info/documentation, rolled and inserted into the bottle around the internal circumference.
6 bismuth subsalicylate chewable tabs
3 loperamide in cut down blister pack
5 small pseudoephedrine
5 aspirin
5 naproxen sodium
5 diphenhydramine

Total FAK comes in around 2.5oz/70g. The items are flexible enough that I can treat a wide enough range of injuries in the short term. It's small and light, so I can toss it into whatever I'm carrying on a given day.

As part of my larger regular travel toiletry kit, 3DOC contains:

• Merkur 23c
• Synthetic shave brush
• Standard small size gluestick case repacked with Arko shave soap
• 5mL bottle of tea tree oil
• Dr. Bronner's Castille as soap and shampoo, in a small Visine-style dropper bottle
• GUM foldable travel toothbrush
• travel size toothpaste
• small titanium tweezers
• nail clippers

Total setup fits inside 3DOC quite well, with no bulging.
