First: You’re not in a hospital with large equipment. All the items you carry are just for emergencies—don’t expect to perform major medical procedures in the wild. In life-threatening situations, your task is to maintain the patient’s vital signs until rescuers arrive.
Second: Regularly clean out your medical kit and don’t carry expired medications. You’re playing with everyone’s lives.
Third: Try to carry compact equipment and individually packaged supplies. Bring a wide variety of medications but in small quantities. You’re not a superhero—minimize your own burden as you’ll also be carrying outdoor gear.
Fourth: Include medication instructions in the kit—you yourself might need to be rescued.
Fifth: If you fall ill, don’t try to push through the trip. Instead, use the medications in your first aid kit to support a safe descent.
Hardware: Two red first aid kits (15cm*20cm), one for internal medicine and one for surgery, with waterproof zippers and tear-resistant, waterproof exteriors. A Lock & Lock lunchbox can be used as an alternative.
Surgical First Aid Kit:
Thermal emergency blanket, lighter, adhesive bandages, 3M tape, surgical blades, gauze pads, disposable syringes, disposable examination gloves, cotton swabs, iodine tincture, hemostatic forceps, three-edged needles, thermometer, alcohol swabs, hemostatic powder, topical emergency ointment, sulfur ointment, Wuji ointment, compound ketoconazole cream, lip balm, lincomycin lidocaine gel, essential balm, cooling oil
Note: The thermal emergency blanket can be laid on the ground in emergencies to reduce body heat loss and reflects 80% of radiant heat. The lighter provides better flame sterilization than alcohol. Topical emergency ointment works well for mild burns, infections, etc. Compound ketoconazole cream helps with eczema, allergies, and inflammation. Lincomycin lidocaine gel is good for insect bites. The rest are essential and commonly used tools for wound treatment.
