The Basecamp Trauma and First-Aid Kit

Description

The Basecamp Kit is named as it is designed to be a comprehensive trauma and first aid kit that is too big for the trail but ideal for the vehicle or campsite. A lot of backpackers, hikers, hunters, and outdoorsmen establish a base camp from which day hikes and excursions can embark. On the trail we recommend our “Tracker” kit which is lightweight and minimalistic. The Basecamp kit is heavy and full and will help sustain life until professional first responders can arrive.

First, the kit is packaged in the Ready Up Gear “Osprey” molle pouch. This tactical pouch is over 4 inches deep, 8 inches tall, and 6 inches wide. It includes various organizational pockets. And like all our kits it comes with a simple first-aid style patch attached via hook/loop to the exterior for fast identification.

The list of components is long so here it goes:

• Two C-A-T North American Rescue Tourniquets WITH Soft Molle Tourniquet pouches designed to help you stage your tourniquets on the outside of the pouch as shown in the pictures on this page.
