Good First aid booklet
Got this for my husband to carry when he’s hiking. This is in his first aid pouch he carries. If he ever needs it he has it. Best to know ahead of time, how you might react to a emergency. This is a nice tool to carry just in case.

PERFECT FOR A JOURNEY BAG
I am collecting short pamphlets and books to place in the “library section” of my journey bags. This is well done and to the point. I am thinking about Paradise Lost as well..

A”fold out” waterproof guide that gives a brief explanation of how to handle a variety of first aid emergencies.
While I am happy with the product, the description could be better. This is simply a “fold out” waterproof guide that gives a brief explanation of how to handle a variety of first aid emergencies. It is NOT a wilderness first aid manual. It covers stopped breathing, hypo/hyper thermia, shock, bleeding, burns, eye injury, bandaging, and insect bites. The first aid described is simple, but effective. I bought this to add to a Boy Scout first aid kit. It is just fine for that purpose. It is certainly not a comprehensive guide to wilderness first aid.

Great for what I wanted
A great, super light weight and durable information packet. I’m a light “doomsday prepper” with mainly a bag and minimal resources to get me started, should I ever need to. This was perfect for my bag and I know if I ever need it, it will be in my bag and I’ll be able to reference it with little effort. Very simplistic yet detailed and great for beginners like myself.

Good to have for review before a trip or in the field.

Nice to have, fairly durable
Got this to take car camping and backpacking. It has some good useful tips and is easy to store in a backpack, but due to its size it’s prone to getting bent easily if things move around. So far it’s proven to be quite durable though.

Fantastic reference in case of emergency – grab one and add to your hiking pack, youe Bug-out-bag, or just in th etrunk of your car. Easy to read, simple, but extremely useful instructions on basic and intermediate first aid with limited resources.

For the go/medic bag
Basic information for anyone as a review if already trained in first aid with the added benefit of others on scene could refer to it of not trained. Tough, coated fold out pamphlet. Arrived in perfect condition and delivered promptly.

lets start on a positive note, it’s light weight, waterproof. well thats the good bits. its well over priced its not abook but a laninated leaflet which i nearly put in the bin by mistake due to its size it looked like abit of juke mail that you sometimes get with your deliveries. I do wish i had not wasted my money on this item and some of the information was out of date.
