Go Med Kit

Go Med Kits has just launched a new first-aid and essential care items kit for hunters, hikers, outdoor enthusiasts and anyone else who spends time in remote backcountry environments.

The “Essentials for Hunters” kit contains over 115 different items including a North American Rescue CAT 7 tourniquet, chest seals and OTC (over the counter) medications. This backcountry and remote wilderness kit was assembled by emergency medical professionals who are familiar with the challenges of spending time in natural environments and in the field. As such, the Go Med Kits Essentials for Hunters kit traverses beyond the basics of first aid. Instead, this kit also comes with comfort items for relief while being away from civilization.

Key items in the First Aid & Care Essentials for Hunters:

  • CAT-7 (CoTCCC-approved) tourniquet to enable quick, one-handed application for critical bleeding control.
  • 4-inch pressure bandage essential for stopping heavy bleeding from large wounds.
  • Vented chest seals to manage large puncture wounds in the chest effectively.
  • Assorted fabric bandages such as fingertip, knuckle, patch, strip and butterfly bandages for common cuts and scrapes.
  • Non-adherent pads to protect wounds without sticking to them.
  • Vet wrap and cloth tape for secure dressings and bandages even in tough conditions.
  • Insect repellent and sunscreen to stay protected from bugs and harmful UV rays.
  • Hand sanitizer to clean your hands when soap and water aren’t available.
  • 36-inch aluminum splint for stabilizing fractures and injuries in the field.
  • Pain relief and digestive medications including ibuprofen, aspirin, antacids and diarrhea relief tablets.
  • Antihistamines and sinus decongestants for allergic reactions and sinus relief.

The Go Med Kits Essentials For Hunters has a starting retail price of $189.99. To learn more about it or other safety products offered by Go Med Kits, please visit the company's website at gomedkits.com.
