Ditch Medicine

A rounded medical field kit contains surgical tools, first aid and high utility items.  Educational resources are also shown for those who may find it useful to develop a deeper understanding of skills such as field surgery when qualified personel aren't available.   We don't recommend doing your own surgery, of course, but in a survival situation local doctors may simply not be available.  Knowledge is power, use it wisely.

A medical field kit can make the difference between life and death if an unforseen incident happens.   Predicting the unpredictable defines the key skill of the survivor.
FIELD MEDICINE
Medical supplies and information for those times when a doctor is simply not available or for reasons of  widespread emergency situations that trained assistance is delayed for an unnaceptable length of time.  This site does not endorse or otherwise take responsibility for any self-help medicine you may choose to indulge in.  We are not doctors.

QUICK CLOT

SURGERY KIT AIR SPLINTS

This product will seal blood vessels and should only be used in the most extreme emergencies.  This will buy you a brief amount of time to find a vascular surgeon to undo the mess this stuff makes.   It can keep you alive, but should be only used to resolve otherwise fatal injuries.  This stuff is not a toy, by the same token, it is extremely important to have if you feel that some form of emergency assistance may be available but will not be available fast enough.  

Field surgery kit.  This is a moderate size tool kit with scalpels, forceps and other surgical tools.   

If you are ever in a position where you need to utilize the surgical knowledge you have, then this is an excellent toolkit.  

Additionally surgical scalpels are very sharp precise instruments with a number of other uses.

Air splints are very lightweight and useful for quickly and firmly applying pressure to broken bones. 

They are easily packed in a backpack and can be invaluable if hiking in rugged terrain, in the event of an unforseen fall or other injury to the limbs.

This page has the knowledge, resources and tools to cope with a diverse set of physical injuries in situations that adequate services are not otherwise available.  

 

You can be certain that medical supplies are among the hardest to obtain and highest demand items in any situation where they are needed.
