I’m in the market for a trauma kit with a bag about this size. The little 6"x5" nylon pouch is cute, but pretty small. What’s weird is that the bag is the only thing detailed photos are available of. There are no good photos of the contents of the kit to help evaluate just how good, or how crappy, the things like the multi-tool are. Not on Stack Social’s “Boing Boing Store” product page, not on Amazon, not on the distributor’s own site. And without photos or a better description I have no idea what a “blue” tourniquet is (blue is typically the color of practice tourniquets for classes, but who knows what is in this kit). So, hard pass.

Well, given that the distributor’s address leads to an active landscaping company in NJ, I’d wager this is a “not real” company and everything’s getting dropshipped and repackaged from china. So, check out aliexpress and see if they have something that looks close enough to it, and see if they have more info.

Well, it’s where Rudy Rudy Giuliani would look to buy survival kits, so they must be good… :thinking:

This is exactly why I don’t buy first aid kits by advertised number of items.

This exact sale is being blasted across multiple platforms, so they must’ve just gotten these off the Evergreen or something.

Yeah, but those are 10 “potentially life-saving” cotton sticks. /s
