I bought the SAS Survival Handbook through your link but when it arrived it was a large book over 2 lb! Not appropriate for a bug out bag at all like you suggest.

Thanks for the great article, very helpful! I have a question though after reading this and the first aid kit list (https://theprepared.com/bug-out-bags/guides/first-aid-kit-list/). It seems most of the dressings mentioned here are not on that list. Of the dressings here (non-adherent, wet, hydrogel, hydrocolloid and simple gauze) only gauze is included on the first aid list, though non-adherent dressings are recommended here for most wounds. So I’m wondering if I should include these dressings (non-adherent, wet, hydrogel, hydrocolloid) or not. Non-adherent at least seem like a good idea to include? And hydrogels possibly worth it for burns, with hydrocolloid replacing some of the moleskin as they can also be used for blisters? Or is the extra weight/space just not worth it?

No activity yet.
