1. Effective training.

 

2. Only include what you can use.

 

3. Gaffa tape.

 

The rest is detail.

I don't what happened with the website address. Those kits are great and come in their own dry bag.

New Israeli Battle Dressing, 6-inch Compression Bandage on eBay!

 

one of these and nothing else..whats the point of having a couple of plasters and a triangular bandage dangling off your harness?..it all falls out when your climbing anyway!

Combat application tourniquet (CAT). If you sever an artery you can be dead in minutes without one. A brilliant piece of kit, and you can apply them to your self using just one hand.

Thanks guys, I was also looking at getting a 30g Celox granules sachet to keep on me at all times.

Avoid the granules, get the celox/quick clot gauze.

 

Granules blow everywhere in wind, and can travel in veins / arteries causing clots.

tourniquet, at least 1/2 ffd's, quick clot, med knife or cutting tool a roll of zinc oxide tape couple of plasters and 1x eye wash.

i carry the ffd quick clot tourniquetand tape in a small dry bag and have it in my left hand leg map pocket, that way everyone knows where it is the rest is packed in a pouch strapped on my harness.

One thing, regardless of what you put in your Personal Kit, is what you put it in and where. its no good having the best kit (or the worst) and you cant get at it when you need it most. Dont forget, its personal, chances are youll need it for yourself in the first stages. So if its in a wrapper, could you unpack it with one hand, visualise this. Ok so you say you could bite it open, but the saws kicked back square in the mouth, aint gonna happen. So consider where you carry and how youre going to access it worse case scenario. I think this is as important as what your kit contains.
