Adventure Medical Pocket Survival Pak Plus

Adventure Medical Kits Pocket Survival Pak PlusI just recieved this kit today 3/23/11 for my get home bag, long story. I digress I took it apart and I was quite impressed with the items found iniside. The knife is okay and the pencil a little on the skimpy side, but both are easily replaceable, otherwise the case and the other material that come with it, are quite surprisingly good and it has a few pieces of paper for reorder. I think this kit is worth the money though a bit expensive, still worth it.

This kit and a space blanket should be added to your pack or pocket on any hike as a minimum. This is lightweight and it takes up very little space. I like the pocket concept. It's a survival kit that's more likely to be with you when you need it. These are quality items even if they are small.

I've had this PSK for some time now, never used it, and hope I never have to. For the money you can't go wrong. These are all top quality components in a pocket sized, waterproof package. To understand the quality and thought that went into this kit, visit Doug Ritters website equipped.com. He explains every single item and why it's included. Some items, like the whistle and knife were specially designed just for this kit and are now sold separately. I'm not an outdoorsman, hunter, or hiker, just someone who likes to be prepared for the unexpected. With this in your pocket or bag you have a backup fixed blade knife, water container and purification, signal mirror, compass, whistle and a bunch of other stuff to help you survive. With all the earthquakes, storms, floods, and people just getting stranded, this is one of those things you would rather have on you and not need it, than need it and not have it. How much is your life worth?

The Plus version of Doug Ritter's excellent Pocket Survival Pak adds some highly useful items.

Not a huge fan of the tiny flashlight or the pencil in the kit if you get one of these and keep the pencil, consider wrapping it past the tip with a bit of electric tape this will keep it from dusting graphite inside your kit from normal pocket jostling... and it will give you a bit of electric tape. Also planning on replacing the little flashlight with a Photon keyring light or a unit that clips to the bill of a cap.

This is a great starting point for assembling your own larger user-specific kit. Add a "space blanket" or two, find a convenient place to carry some paracord and a few trash bags and you should be in pretty good shape for weathering an unexpected over-nighter.

Most of the stuff is good to have as a (backup) say in car...This shouldn't be considered core survival gear...Flash light is a total piece of junk...I also think it sould be about $10 less expensive.

PILL CONTAINER - First Aid - MEDICAL ALERT - Key Chain with Water Resistance - Large Size / Color B

PILL CONTAINER - First Aid - MEDICAL ALERT - Key Chain with Water Resistance - Large Size / Color BLACKI was using a plastic pill case and having it in my pocket everyday was causing it to chip and break so I was constantly replacing it with a new one. During my last search for a pill case I came across this container. It looked like it would take the abuse from other items in my pocket, stay dry, and be easily available for my pills. Now that I have it, I don't know how I did without it before. It works terrific for a pill case!

AAA 85 Piece Commuter First Aid Kit

AAA 85 Piece Commuter First Aid KitI purchased this kit for my family at first for the home. Then, because it is small with a hard shell, I decided to put it in the car so we would have access to it any time in any situation. It has all of the items one would expect in a good first-aid kit, and it seems much more durable than any other kits that I've seen or purchased in the past. I would certainly recommend it, and we will probably purchase another one for our other car.

This kit has everything you need in case of an emergency. The only things I had to add were an emergency cord and Advil. And the case is great! It is very durable yet flexible enough to handle a few more items shoved in

This is a great little bundle of good-to-have-in-an-emergency items. There is also room for a small bottle of meds if needed. It fits perfectly under the passenger seat or clips to a bracket in the back cargo area. There were some items I could do without, so I just reorganized it.

PolyMem Shapes Sacral Dressing - 7.2" x 7.8" Adhesive, 4.5" x 4.7" Pad, 10/bx

PolyMem Shapes Sacral Dressing - 7.2' x 7.8' Adhesive, 4.5' x 4.7' Pad, 10/bxPolymem is perfect for those who might have sores relating diabetes, or for a loved one who is bed ridden. The dressing protects one from infection and in fact helps heals the sore. Little costly though but dont waste time buying something less expensive as it doesnt seem to work as good or as fast. The adhesive is a little tricking to put on, you definitely need help.

Burn-B Gone

Burn-B GoneWhen I bought our first tube of Burn-B Gone, it was on a recommendation from our pediatrician, and, honestly, I was a little skeptical that it would do everything that she said it would do. She said it would be perfect for us, since our kids (and I) have very sensitive skin, and many other skin healing products can make us break out in a rash. My daughter got a scrape while playing outdoors soon after we bought it, and I applied it two times a day but didn't have to do it for long, since that scrape healed up in less than 4 days. We could barely tell where it had been! Since then, we've used this stuff on every scrape, burn, nick, scratch, and sunburn that our family gets. It's incredible how fast everything heals, and it doesn't burn at all when you put it on, unlike some other products we've tried. A little goes a long way, so a 2.5 oz tube will last more than a year, easily, even if you live on a farm like we do. If you try it once, you'll be converted, too!

I'm really happy to see that Burn-B Gone is now available on Amazon now we don't have to "special order" it anymore.

Not only did this help me recover from a wart being burned off the back of my hand in record time it also has removed a reoccurring "itchy spot" that I have flare ups, well not anymore!!! It has also worked wonders on some scratches my dog had on her face, scars gone! This is a wonderful product, Thank-you.

Grafco 6 1/2" Deluxe Finger Ring Cutter, 1/Ea, GHF1372-1

Grafco 6 1/2' Deluxe Finger Ring Cutter, 1/Ea, GHF1372-1I had recently ordered the above product based on the type of ring cutter shown in the picture. Believing that this is what I would receive. I have had problems with other types of ring cutters before and I find the plier type to be most effective and more comfortable for me and the patient. This is not what I received; I received a CHEEZY CHINCY version of a ring cutter more like the standard type with the thumb button to apply pressure. Also the blade was busted and flat spotted. I immediately contacted the seller (JEWELDENT) who was less than helpful, who (without any apology or concern) just told me nothing more than to return the product to AMAZON for a refund instead of attempting to take care of the product themselves. Bad customer service on their part. I am never using (JEWELDENT) as a supplier again due to their lack of concern about their faulty and fraudulent product. Thanks for reading and have a great day.

The standard ring cutter leaves my thumb extremely painful by the time I'm finished. This one is great. I'll never go back to the old kind.

Buy Grafco 6 1/2" Deluxe Finger Ring Cutter, 1/Ea, GHF1372-1 Now

The item I received was cheap and only a standard ring cutter. I also paid two times the price Of the item for shipping and handling when it was advertised for less. I will never use this company again, nor will I recommend it to anyone I know.

Cortizone 10 Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Liquid Easy Relief Applicator -- 1.25 fl oz

Cortizone 10 Hydrocortisone Anti-Itch Liquid Easy Relief Applicator -- 1.25 fl ozI bought this as a companion product for the Cortisone 10 Intense Healing for Eczema product, which is amazing for mild to moderate eczema and sebhorric dermatitus (pardon my spelling)

This is a 1% concentration of Hydrocortisone, which is the same concentration as most hydrocortisone cream and ointments. It comes with a handy foam sponge applicator (think of a foam bingo marker) that can be kept in a pocket or bag, and is nice and compact for your travelling first aid kit.

I have sensitive skin with dishydrotic dermatitis on my hands and feet, and mild to moderate eczema on my inner arms and lower legs. I also will break out in hives along my hairline on my face for a myriad of reasons. This does a great job of calming the itch of the hives and the itch on my arms and legs. Note that hydrocortisone will thin your skin and you should make sure to use plenty of sunscreen if you are using these products to keep from excessive sun damage. You should also not use this stuff a lot, the instructions say 3-4 times a day, but on your sensitive facial skin, you may want to consider even less (consult your physician)

I love this stuff, and it helps a very sensitive situation.

This is very convenient for camping. I keep it in my camping stuff to wipe on bugbites and irritation, and for that it works fairly well. But it seems like it works no better than my 5% cream version from the same company..

TAPE MICROPORE TAN 1 12/BX10BX/CS 3M Health Care

3M Micropore 1' x 10 yd. Tan Surgical Tape - Box of 12Light weight and easy to remove. Used it on my forehead and the flesh-tone color didn't stand out as much.

I like the skin color of the tape since I use it to tape small magnets to my skin. I wasn't sure at first that it was sticky enough, but have discovered that it has just the right amount to stick for several days yet not irritate my skin.

Shred Matrix

Muscle Pharm Shred Matrix, 120 CapsulesIf you're more of a pure athlete, then SM might be your thing. But, if you need more intensity and faster results (like me), then there's better stuff out there. I compared this with BELDT: Force Thermogenic over the course of two months and the difference is night and day. With SM I lost 4 lbs. BFT helped me cut 9. The dosage with SM is also a bit much (6 pills a day). BFT only requires 2. I think I may have paid a couple dollars more for BFT, but it was worth it since I cut more fat in less time.

I'm an huge gym nut. I love to bulk up in the winter (200+) then cut down for summer (195 lean). Unfortunately because of my body type, I need an extra little push when it comes to my cut phase.

I've tried several different variants of fat burners, some have worked great while others not so much. If you have been in the supplement game you know that your milage will always vary depending on if your body is a responder.

Now on to the review:

The ingredient list if fairly comprehensive with a multi-stage approach to fat-loss. While each ingredient has been shown to reduce or aid in fat-loss it is uncertain if this product holds enough of each to adequately achieve those results. In my opinion (and body type), no. Another deal breaker for me, but may be an advantage for those more sensitive to stimulants, is the amount of caffeine contained in this product. If you are caffeine sensitive, this product should be fairly mild for you, personally I need the extra boost for while at the gym. I quit my N.O. products while on a cut program because I hate to be overstimulated, but with this product I noticed zero caffeine so it made my day/routine rather sluggish.

All in all, while not for me, this is a great entry level fat burner, especially those with caffeine sensitivity, personally for the price I would rather go with a CLA or ALA based product and pocket the extra money. Again, if you have never experienced a thermo product before and want to tread lightly, give it a shot. It may work for your body type. But mesomporhs beware, it will probably not result in the gains/losses you are looking for.

Buy Shred Matrix Now

First of all this is the first fat loss product I have ever taken. I am 28 been working out for 3 years strong. I'm 5'8 and was recently 185 lbs. I work out 5 days a week for an hour, I also play basketball 1 or two nights a week. I didn't like the way my face looked in pics. I looked bloated. Not sure if it was water weight. I do not take creatine because I get very bloated on it. Anyways back to my review, I literally lost 10 pounds on this in 7 days! You know why? When I took this product I was NEVER hungry. I would literally have to force myself to eat. When I did eat I made sure it was healthy. I would take 4/5 pills a day and literally go the entire day not wanting food. This product rocks.

I have taken other products like this, and they always made me jumpy. ShredMatrix does not, which I really like. It does a good job of appetite suppression, and I lost weight while using it. Since I wasn't exercising, I am going to attribute it to ShredMatrix. I have ordered it again.

I just started taking this product March 19th so I cant really tell much you much about the product. On Monday when I recieved it, I was so excited to start because of all the postive reviews I read. Well I got it on Monday and took 3 pills around 2:30pm est. I wasn't jitter AT ALL!!! These pills do not give you any of that. So I was like ok I dont think these are going to work but then on Tuesday I took the 3 pills at 8:30am, I wasn;t jitter but boy did I wanna not sit down and I couldn't stop talking. Literally I wiped my kitchen counters down 5times in like 30mins cause I needed something to do. I wasnt hungry so I didnt feel the need to eat. Then at about 12:30 I took the next 3pills as it said too. I noticed that I still didnt eat so I ate me two pieces of peanut butter bread. Just so I had something on my stomach. Come 5pm I still wasnt hungry but my family was and I knew I wasn't going to beable to get home and cook dinner and have my kids in bed by 8pm so I stopped at Mcdonalds and got myself 2 snack wraps even thou I wasn't hungry, still ate them just because I know from personal good that I can't strave myself.

About myself, I am a 27yr old female with three kids. Back in April of 2011 I weighted 260pds. Yes a very unhealthy person, lazy, didnt want to do anything, didnt care what I ate. Nothing mattered to me. My kids woke me up the month when it was getting nice outside and wanted to do things outside and I could do anything with them cause I was too fat. So I started walking 5miles a day for 2months. Lost 30lbs. Then gave up like everybody does cause people do that. Well I didnt gain anything back just maitained. As of now I went from 260pds down to 202lbs as of March 21st 2012. I didn't buy this product to think it was a mircale pill cause nothing is a mircale pill. YOU HAVE TO EAT RIGHT AND EXERCISE. I bought it because of all the stages it goes thru and I really need that. I am sure I will lose something by taking these pills. I have another 60lbs to go to get to my goal weight. I will try to update this in a week or two and if I do see a change I will buy more because 120pills only last you 2weeks with taking 6 a day. About the bathroom issue people are having. I haven't had that problem really. I usually go twice a day and for the two days I have been taking this I have had a change. If I atelast lose 5lbs I would rate this 5 stars but like i said its too early to give it that yet. Look for updates.

****So here is a update.. I went from 202lbs to 197lbs in 5 days. That was awesome. I dont feel the mood changing part at all. I still feel the same as I always do. I will be buying this product again in a few days since it is the first that I have seen great results. Please disreguard people that say it makes them jittery cause I yet to experince that and have been taking for almost two weeks now and have not felt that. I would mos def recommend to somebody that is at a platue in their weight lost and need a extra push. I will let you in on a little serect that worked for me to get faster results. The bottle says to take 3pills in the early morning then 3 more pills in the early afternoon. Well for my body I didn't feel like 6 pills a day was working for me so I bumped it up to 4 in the am in 4 in the afternoon and I took them 6 hours apart and thats when I really starting to see the weight drop off. But dont just jump right in and do that. I waited a week before I did that so I could make sure I could handle it. I will send another update in about another two weeks so people really can see it works.

DuoDERM Hydroactive Gel 30 g Box: 3

DuoDERM Hydroactive Gel 30 g Box: 3I am a retired physician. I had an amputation of my great toe which wouldn't heal for months. After I started using this it healed progressively. It does what it says, which is to allow tissue to heal without drying out or getting soggy, while dissolving ONLY the dead tissue. It is one step short of miraculous.

Ive several wound ulcers that wound care wanted me to use hydrogel. No where in my area could I find it locally so ended up finding this here on amazon and I got 3 tubes for the price of one and it works.

Cinch Tight Bandage

Cinch Tight BandageTook out of bag and was a pain and time consuming to unravel. Self-aid would be a major deal with this. Red tip fell off hook upon opening. I assume the tip was useful and it is therefore bad that it fell off.

I have had to use this in an emergency before. It worked well and the medical staff at the hospital were surprised by the securing hook. H&H products used to be available only in full med kits so when I found this for sale I bought a few of them. It is not as compact as the picture looks. (That's an old photo.) They are shipped broader than that. I did not like that but it is a good bandage.

Don't waste your money! Ad said it was 170 items but when you get it the case says it has only 140. Individual band-aids count as one and it's mostly band-aids (114). The remaining items are a first aid pamphlet, the case, two latex gloves, a small roll of tape, two small amounts of Neosporin, seven gauze pads, one burn gel pad, one cold pack and three cleansing wipes. That's only 132 pieces and if you count the cardboard divider it's 133. A gross misrepresentation and Johnson and Johnson should be ashamed of this product. Not worth the money and would never buy it again.

I bought this as the First Aid kit for my car. While it is not sufficient for a major emergency, it more than suffices for everyday common things that might happen like minor cuts, blisters, insect bites and the occasional headache & sour stomach. I've already found myself using the items in this kit on several occasions.

Everyone should have a basic first aid kit in their car. If you need one this makes a great start. I recommend it.

Cramer E6 Foam Blister (25 Pack)

Cramer E6 Foam BlisterThis product is excellent for blister management. Can be used after a blister has developed or to prevent one from forming. The only thing that I would like to see offered is a bulk discount. These are expensive, especiallly in my case where my children use them daily during soccer season. If they could be offered by the case at a discount I would appreciate it. I have found other sites that sell this exact item for less and have considered pruchasing them elsewhere to save money.

Special 1 Pack of 5 - Sween Body Powder (Fornerly Fordustin Body Powder) with Noncaking, Natural Co

Special 1 Pack of 5 - Sween Body Powder with Noncaking, Natural Corn Starch COL0505 COLOPLAST CORPORATIONI was first introduced to this product while I was in the hospital three years ago. I absolutely love it and highly recommend this product, especially for those who can't totally bath themselves daily. Will help keep dry and comfortable. I now use this product on a daily basis and absolutely love it! Another fantastic Amazon.com purchase............totally becoming my favorite way to buy items! Go Amazon!!!

A nurse friend of mine first brought this powder to my attention. It was what the hospital where she worked used for their patients.

It's a wonderfully light powder and I use it in all my sweat areas. Even on my feet!

Love the non-caking aspect and cornstarch. I can't see me ever using another kind of powder as they all seem so heavy, and laden with scents, etc. This one has a very slight fragrance, which doesn't bother me in the least, but my sister, who is allergic to perfumes, could not use it.

When I found this offer on Amazon for a pack of five, I bought two sets, one for my friend and one for me. I'm set for a while now. :-)

Green Goo Outdoor Salve

Green Goo Outdoor SalveIf you've ever used 'climb on' this organic salve blows it out of the water. But it's not just for climbing! It's an excellent go-to for so many situations that I always keep one in my first-aid kit and in my car. Scrapes, dry hands, eye wrinkles, cracked heels, bruises, stretch marks...the list goes on but once you start using it you truly see its versatility!

First Aid Only 107 Piece Outdoor First Aid Kit, Soft Case

First Aid Only 107 Piece Outdoor First Aid Kit, Soft Case
  • Perfect for hiking, camping, marine adventures, home & auto.

I bought this item thinking it would just be some cheap little kit thrown together and not really thought out to well by the company, But I was wrong! It is perfect for me except it would have been nice if there where more butterfly bandages.I primarily us this for hiking/camping The kit is well organized with 2 small pockets, and two larger pockets for storage. The casing has a somewhat reflective fabric sewn in so its easy to see in the dark with a small amount of light if you would drop it, all I added to this kit was a couple more gauze packets, but since its for hiking/camping, I wanted to lighten my bag yes I know maybe 1 ounce taken out but I didn't think it was nessicary to carry so many band-aids, there where alot! so I kept the pack of big and small, the butterfly's and ones I just think I would need, but I have no real complaints about this product at all! I would recommend it to anybody just looking for a small kit to just keep in your car or hiking/camping bag or for even around the house!

I got burned on my hand cooking and it had burn cream and band-aids. I got my hand cut hiking and it had alcohol wipes antibiotic cream and band aids. I got a splinter on firewood and the tweezers had out in a minute.

I wanted to get a first aid kit for my truck for emergencies and to take along on camping trips. I originally ordered a Johnson & Johnson kit and essentially got a large box of band-aids. I enlisted the help of some friends to scour amazon to see what we could come up with that was cheap, small but thorough and this was the one I settled upon. By far, much more what I was looking for as a good, basic, covers a little-bit-of-everything kit for emergencies and camping!

Really great product! I bought it because of the size, I didn't wanna carry something too bulky, but I was surprised by how much it fit on the inside. It came in really handy on my trip, I know I'll keep using it for years. Definitely recommend this, great value.

this nice soft case will fit perfectly in a tight nit backpack...

this has a LOT of stuff...

the straw for me to go ahead and order was that one reviewer said it came with a nice pair of scissors... he was right... very efficient, strong pair of tiny scissors in this bag... also tweezers, insect sting wipes, 3 different kinds of antiseptic/alcohol wipes (multiple of each), all different kinds of pain relief pills, all sorts of gauze AND tape, first aid cream, and a LOT of bandaids, of all shapes and sizes... i was worried there would not be enough bandaids, as I think that is most important part.

whoever reviewed and said it was the size of a deck of cards is a dimwit, just lying for some reason??? i dont get why people steer people in opposite directions here... defeats the purpose... the pack is as about the same size of a normal paperback book... I was willing to deal with its small size, cos i was curious how much stuff could fit...

theres room for MORE stuff in this pack, so before I camp the Kalalau trail, i will probably stuff it with more gauze, just in case...

i also love that there are four packets in pack, sure they may be cheap plastic, but the case is only open when u need it...

almost gave 4 stars, cos it doesnt seem waterproof... but i will just stuff in dry sack, i do not want to risk it, that would be a lot of items down the drain..

didnt think the fact in wasnt waterproof let me review less tho... i think if u are looking for a first aid kit for hiking, this is for u... its light, compact, and has everything u need, and has it all organized for u if u want to get more...

going camping (three day hiking trip) in Silva, NC this weekend... wish me luck!! hope i dont need the kit ;)
