Maybe but for the amount of kit and type of kit it's well worth the money. You wouldn't find some of that stuff in a med kit from boots that's for sure.

Please do not take this post too literally - I am not intending to make light of this issue.

 

While it is a lot cheaper to bleed to death, if the grim reaper offered you a second chance for a few hundred quid - I guess most people would take him up. So why not buy that second chance while you can?

 

I know we all work safely and therefore many assume our bog standard kits will be OK because we'll never need to use them - in that case why take out insurance - or is that just so we can put it on the side of our trucks and in the ads???

 

If people don't know how to use a tourniquet (easier than spelling it) its worth finding out - current standard for first aid is NOT to use one - but I'd rather use one than just watch someone bleed to death. But first I need one in the kit - alondside the celox.

 

Better to have and not need than to need and not have.

If u dont know how to use any of this kit seek training. Its a fantastic bit of kit when u know whats what and how to use it, im sure if u was to use some which caused death it would all come down on you. So make use you know what and how to use this

the emergency aid gear has certainly come along way from the st johns amb ' & redcross triangular bandage days ,, battlefield aid such as quik clot & celox will have saved many lives ...war isnt always just negative afterall super glue was developed in war as a wound sealant

[Johny Walker]

whats the shelf life of the kit
