How many of you Jeepers carry a First Aid kit and do you know how to use it without reading the instructions?

[jeepincj78]

A first aid kit is a requirement for all SFJC members. We have first aid kits that we sell at meetings and if you go to our home page, SFJC and then go into the August issue of our newletter, you will see the link at the bottom of the page.

Frank, last time I saw your jeep I didnt see a First Aid Kit in it!!!........... Course, I didnt see an engine, transmission, radiator or many other things. (gg) john

[Jeepmed]

First aid kit is a requirment forPRJs also. Plus we purchased a more complete kit to be on all trail rides.

[YellowSub2000]

I took the First aid kit that came with my Xterra before I sold it to get my Jeep. hehehe

[Livefree]

I have one in every vehical always it has come in handy many times.

[ocean lifeguard]

Absolutely!! One in every vehicle I drive, incluiding my TJ. How to use it without instructions, well taking a first aid class usually helps, just 3 1/2 hours of your time.

Let me know if you need one, I teach that

[Lt Dan]

I don't carry a first aid kit but I carry a nurse with me.

[FrOeKk]

All the time!!

[TombRaiderTim]

thats a yes for sure.

[Rayne]

i have one in my truck....

PRJs require it to be a member.

[JeepsR4Grlz2]

I don't leave home without mine. i've added Instant Ice, Ace bandages, ankle brace, BioFreeze, zip ties...oh wait. zipties are in my camping bag of tricks....LOL. :sneak: :sneak: :sneak:

[MrSig]

All the time and my kit has stitches in it.

[JKaos]

It is always in jeep, Still has Plastic wrap on it, Hopefully it will stay that way. Also first aid kit for jeep, Ujoints, straps for ujoints, belt , starter,and Tools.

Could be something to discuss at one of our meetings. Go through 30 minute "training" class on how to administer First aid and ALS. Maybe go over the most common or the the most likely injuries to occur on the trails. Heatstroke, SNAKEBITES, dehydration, fractures, etc..... First aid kits and speculation don't save lives, knowledge does. Also might be an idea to discuss in the next meeting to find out who has training and to what degree / experience. Someone mentioned they have a nurse, MrSig you have some basic training from the Gov. right?!, I was EMT and Paramedic certified up until a few years ago , etc.... Just in case something was to happen, no matter where you were in the formation, you could get attention or answers quickly before the issue became more serious. I'm in the process of beefing up my bag every week. Nothing I can think of, other than being run over, that I wouldn't be able to stablize immediately on the trail until the Tramahawk arrived.

CPRtoday.com is a good website to learn basic first aid/cpr and the defib machines that come out.....I carry a first aid kit in both jeep and truck..and I update my supplies too.I also carry my nursing bag all the time in my truck..it contains a CPR guard, mask, gown, gloves, wipes, disinfectant spray..among other nursing supplies....I wouldnt go anywhere without either....i also carry a sugar test kit....from walmart..about $19.00 for the kit, many times I have been out on rides or just out when someone say..i dont feel right..sugar is usually too high..or too low...

[JeepChik17]

always, even in my truck i carry it. u just never know. this is what bought and it pretty much has everything

[Marauder]

I have a first aid kit in every my jeep, wifes SUV, both boats. You never know when you or someone you come across might need some first aid. Wifes in the medical field so i got some nice stuff in my kits. Want me to sew you up after you get cut up i can do

[StuckZilla]

One each for all three vehicles & a nurse when I'm too incapacitated to drive or stick on the band-aide right.

[nero004]

i always carry a first aid kit, its permanent in my jeep along with my license and registration that way i cant drive without one or the other, now as far as a first aid kit for my jeep, im always the one carrying all the tools, i can drive home with a leak in my body, but my jeep cant

[athos76]

When I had my F-250 I used to carry my Combat Medic bag in the bag.... until someone 5-fingered it away... I miss it... Full Surgical, with IV and Ringer's. It even had the NBC autosyringe kit.

Now in my TJ I have a small kit in the glove box, and a larger custom one strapped under the back seat... I plan on getting my Combat Medic bag again... just don't feel like dropping $100 right now

[SodMan]

I carry two. I keep a well stocked one in the dry box on the jeep and a small one in a day-pack in case I have to go on foot for help or something. I would like to build a bigger one for the dry box. We are bringing in a first aid trainer for our supervisors. It has been a long time since I have been through the course. I am guilty of neglect. I'd say I would not be comfortable helping someone with major problems without reading the instructions.

[coonbuster]

yeah, you gotta keep an eye on the perishables.

[calderman87]

I always carry a first aid kit, along with a few gallons of water and two days worth of food
