Good suggestions and MDiania: PM sent.

Any experience with that Kerlix? I saw a thread on it on zombiesquad.

Jim, can you get any of the adventure medical kit products over in the Neverlands?

Heres a portable dental kit here,

http://www.adventuremedicalkits.com/kit_...kitNO=0100-0625

More tape (2-3 rolls) - thankfully I've never used more than 1 roll in a day, but previously my 1 roll stayed in the kit until it ran out. I might have a fresh 1x10 yd, but more likely it would be down to 3 feet of moldy medical tape. Anyway, with the 30 yd athletic tape I'm much less prone to a roll falling short - which is good, should I have to haul the FAK out for neighborhood triage after an earthquake. Its a cinch that no one else is going to have the tape you need when you need it.

At least in the U.S. you can buy filling replacement material over the counter in most drugstores on the toothpaste aisle. Some of the brand names are Dentek or Dentemp or Temparin. I think that some of that and some oral pain relief drops -- eugenol (oil of cloves) or benzocaine -- would get you a long way.

I can import AMK-stuff from the US if I want, but it's really expensive (last time when I got some heatsheets,bivvy bags, etc. , shipping was $45!)

I have found some Lidocaine-stuff to use in your mouth. Maybe this will work to?

I'll also look for some temporary tooth-filling but I think it will be hard to find..

Man, I REALLY need a bigger bag!

You can get emergency dental kits, including emergency filling
paste, here in the UK quite easily. (Online, larger local chemists (in the First Aid section), larger camping/outdoor stores.)

If you really can't find it where you are, it may be cheaper to import from the UK, at least.

I've orderd a Emergency Dental Kit and some instant cold packs, together with a larger bag.

Getting some moleskin tomorrow..

Looks good Jim, others with more medical background have picked at it already.

I might change the slider ziplock for a regular one- the sliders suck in my experience and just can't be made liquid tight.

Sharpie or a similiar marker. Log data on their forehead or forearm- can't lose your notes without misplacing the patient. :P

Cut down the handle of the razor.

Get yourself about a meter and half or two meters of red or fluorescent colored, 25 to 40mm webbing (flat or tubular) and some buckles, to replace the strap of the pouch. Versatile.

I've placed the FAK into a Eagle Creek All-aboard bag wich organises the stuff really well.

I've added:

- 2nd ACE-bandage
- 2nd Triangulair bandage
- 6 10x10cm gauze pads
- 3 ABD-pads
- 8 5x5cm gauze pads
- EMT-sheers
- 2 more pairs of gloves
- pocket-mask
- 2 instant cold-packs
- compeed blister-bandages
- 2 tampons (nosebleeds)

Travelsafe Sterile/Dental kit containing:

- Cavit-W emergency tooth filling
- Dental mirror
- Dental thingie to apply the filling
- Dental needle (27g)
- 3 Cotton pellets
- tooth-picks
- 5 blood-lancets
- 18g angiocath
- Raptor constricting-band
- 3 5ml. syringe
- 5 IM-needles
- 5 SC-needles
- 3-0 Ethilon suture
- pair of sterile latex gloves

The only thing I'm now looking for is a SAM-splint..

Any other suggestions?

You can buy SAM splints here:

http://www.firstaidsuppliesonline.com/nav.pl?search=Sam+Splint -

along with many sizes and styles of pre-made FAKs and lots of the supplies for "build your own."

That is often a problem I find - there are lots of good ideas and handy things....but where do you BUY them? We have the usual Walmart and one national-chain sporting goods store, but there isn't much there. I have bought some things on Amazon, but had mixed success; loved some of it, but others the quality and price were fine, but shipping was ridiculous.
