My Family has a trip planned to the boundry waters this summer,

if you never heard of it let me tell you it is one of the MOST peacfull places on earth, NO CARS, NO ENGINE POWERED BOATS, NO Cell service,you don't hear any air plains, when it is storming 30 miles away you can sit and watch it, and the thunder literially comes rolling in from miles away.....it's just you, your canoe, the suppies you bring and the wilderness (litterially)

BWCA - Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness

But back to my subject

I am making the ultimate first aid kit,
unfortunatly i won't be able to go this year as i don't have the time off or the money.... but i want my family to have it with while they are up there and becuase i have access to alot of stuff people don't normaly for cheap or free

so far i have got
bandaids(a varietty of sizes and shapes)
Gauze (a few diff sizes and shapes)
Bandages ( a number of diff one sticky, not sticky, 4in wide 2 in wide
sutures(stitches)
Sterile water
needless syringe
Ibeprofen

thats all i can think of right now, anything you guys think i should add?

yes this may be a bit overboard but up there your in the wilderness that means if there is a bear your on your own! and god forbid somthing did happen this kit should take care of just about anything

 

watch alot of bear grylls and you will be able to survive anything

 

Super Glue makes an excellent alternative to sutures and the application is a lot cleaner.
Tampons will fill in a large puncture wound very well.

 

cold packs, flint and a steel ,mirror

 

cool!!
