Source for First Aid Equipment
I teach Wilderness First Aid and keep our troop first aid kits up to date. I have been very impressed with the equipment, prices and service at a company called Rescue Essentials www.rescue-essentials.com. I have placed several orders with them and they are always prompt and responsive. The same SAM splint REI sells for $16.00, they sell for under $10. I really like the fact they sell sterile gauze rolls in a vacuum sealed package which takes only a fraction of the space a traditional gauze roll takes. I gave them a call and suggested they put together pre-filled kits for high adventure crews headed to Philmont, Sea Base and Northern Tier. They are looking into it.
