Despite what the product is designed to do, at the end of the day, these companies are in it for a profit.
In terms of treating injuries following a disaster, there is not a better model for a medical kit than those developed and used by the military. These medical kits are designed to save lives in the most difficult of circumstances and in the most austere environments. Every day, they are carried into, and used in, battle. They are some of the best-thought-out kits because they are created by warriors.

These items are compiled from the packing lists for the U.S. Army Ranger, Special Forces (Green Berets), Navy SEALs and U.S. Air Force Pararescue. This is by no means the end-all and be-all list of items to put in a medical kit, but a significant value can be placed on putting together your own medical kit. At least when assembling a kit specific to you and your needs, you will be compiling items that you need and will use. This is a far cry from the commercially produced first aid kits that include about a thousand band-aids of various sizes and nothing that can actually be used to save a life.

If you have questions about this list or packing a medical kit for tough times, feel free to email me at tom@thepreparedninja.com.
