John,<br><br>Yes I got the same (or very similar) thing and it came in on Friday from REI. I just expanded the kit with Ciprio med, some Immodium pills, glucose, penlight, charcoal, stethoscope, space blanket and cervical collar. I increased on the bandages, burn med and antiseptics. I think that guys here kind of misunderstood my original post. But above kit even if little bulky is not so heavy that it couldn't travel with me wherever I want. I took it out this weekend for 40 miles kayak trip and got to use supplies for minor burns, cuts, blisters and small wrist sprain. It fits perfectly in my kayak, under car seat, in extra space in my sleeping bag cover. I'm confident enough that this kit will and can keep me alive as well as people that I would treat long enough until I can get them to the hospital or ambulance arrives. I'm not going to be performing brain surgeries outdoors but treat basic trauma and obvious injuries. I would love to have a KED device, oxygen tank and defibrillator but that’s impossible. If you have a cardiac arrest when I'm there or suffer an open fracture, your chances of survival with my expanded kit and skills are better that if anyone wasn't there. There is no substitute for skills but supplies will make your life easier. A lot of times things go untreated because first aid kit is not there. People call 911 for non breathing people but when ambulance gets there it's too late. All it took was basic Rescue Breathing or CPR to keep the oxygen flowing but it wasn't done because safety barrier wasn’t there. Nobody in the world could be forced to help a fellow person even if you know the skills. Most of the people who know the skill will not perform it because body substance insulation equipment (BSI) (face mask, gloves) is not there. I personally wouldn't do it either when BSI equipment is absent. Good EMT will always have stuff in his car and he is ready to help all the time. But regular Joe won't. Since I got my CPR card I always have a set of gloves and mask on me. Hopefully I will join the EMT ranks very very soon. But until that time and regardless what will happen in the future I will always have something on me (besides basic stuff) that would help people on my way to my destination. Most of the time they will be my friends or friends of the friends during our outings, sometimes it may be a random person but at the end as long as I’m prepared I have a piece of mind that I’m covered just in case. Plus I’m always reevaluating and upgrading my skills.<br><br>Matt<br>
