FearlessleaderI flip-flop regularly when I see pre-packaged medical kits, here and through other sites, between buying one and making my own. At this point, the only real factor keeping me from making my own is conveniece - I imagine more than a few people are in this boat as well.
I've owned a couple of kits from Adventure and they have sat in my pack until I lose them or buy another. They're nice kits, but at this point, it's been a waste of money for me.
I would think this is fine for general travel or light wound care. Granted, I'm not a medical technician but I've been in a few situations where I can speak from experience. Most of the time, I need band-aids or steri-strips, and this kit fits the bill. But, if you're like me, stuffing a handful of bandages into a plastic bag and calling it day will most likely be enough. Though the peace of mind, knowing you have more if need be, might be worth the price to others.
