This first aid kit consists of most of the essentials required in a typical (low-level) medical emergency. Everything listed in the item description is included. I recommend adding a couple of items - from a small torch to antiseptic cream and some aspirin - to complete the package. So, unless you find yourself in need of a defibrillator or other specialist equipment, this kit will suffice.
It is very compact. I'd even say, it's rather tiny. That's great in terms of storage. But it also says something about the contents. While there's a lot of stuff in here, much of it is very low quality - take, for example, the resuscitation facemask: it's the flimsiest, cheapest-made version. As such, this kit represents quantity over quality.
Okay, a bandage is a bandage - and, in an emergency, even the worst quality items are better than nothing. Yet it's important that you recognise, prior to buying, the overall low-quality of the contents. For example, the whistle is similar to this:
Bushcraft BCB Distress Whistle - Orange
. Functional, but far from good. (It doesn't cost much more to include better items, such as this whistle:
Lifesystems Mountain Whistle - 0
). The only item that I found not to work at all is the compass. It's so cheaply made that it struggles to distinguish 'north' from either 'west' or east'!
Irrespective of the negatives, as a very compact (easy to keep at hand) kit of essential first aid items, I can recommend this. All I suggest is, swapping a few of the cheap items for others of better quality.
