I also saw the Highlander mid and maxi first aid kits on sofmilitary. Do you know what the contents are or do you think I should build my own. If so could you please put up a list of what to include?<br><br>thanks

I recommend building your own. That makes sure that it adresses your specific needs.<br>Here is the list of my daily carry kit:<br>- first aid packet (serves also for pressure bandage)<br>- 2 packages of gauze swab (2 pieces each)<br>- 2 pairs of latex gloves<br>- 1 triangular cloth<br>- 1 space blanket<br>- 1 seat belt cutter<br>- some bandaids<br><br>The kit is packed in a soft waterproof pouch. It fits in a pocket of my motorcycle jacket. I had kits with more items, but they are too bulky for daily carry.<br>

Thanks for the reply M a x. The one piece of kit that I have always carried is a trauma dressing. That can come in very handy if your riding a bike (My mother has always been into hillwalking, fell running and has helped mounten rescue on more than one ocasion. She once had to deal with a biker who came round a corner a bit too fast, hit the corner of a wall and split his skull wide open litrely)

An old fashion sanitary napkin works well as a trauma dressing. Pete
