RV GEAR
The khaki-coloured Snake Bite kit is smaller but it shares a similar layout to the Vehicle First Aid Kit . Items are colour-coded and numbered like those in the Vehicle kit , but this kit has been specifically designed for dealing with snake bites .
Inside the kit , you ’ ll find things like a splint , emergency blanket , multiple pressure bandages , gloves , gauze swabs and a pen . There ’ s also a step-by-step instruction card to walk you through the process of dealing with a snake bite , and details on how to perform CPR . This kit also includes the heavy-duty and reusable SMART style of pressure bandage . These bandages cleverly help the first aider by pictorially demonstrating how to achieve the correct tension when applying a pressure immobilisation bandage so it ’ s not too tight or too loose .
WHAT WE THOUGHT
There are many things we like about these kits , having travelled with them for some time now . The similarities in design and layout , plus each kit ’ s contents being colour-coded , labelled and quantities displayed , is a big positive . Having to guess how many items need to be replaced isn ’ t an issue when we know how many each kit should contain . These features are shared across Survival ’ s suite of first aid kit solutions , so you can expect the same format should you use any of their kits .
Size-wise , our kits are easy to store in a cupboard of our caravan and camper , or under the seat of our vehicle . We ’ ll even take the Snake Bite Kit when hiking as it ’ s a good size for our backpack .
We also like the other first aid solutions that we can access from Survival Emergency Solutions . The ability to access its first aid handbook as well as the first aid app is truly first aid support at our fingertips . These are great features whether we ’ re on the road or just at home . And Survival has made replenishing the kits super simple when using the QR code system .
The MOLLE attachment system provides a way for the kit to be attached to a vehicle ’ s cargo barrier , backpack , etc ., so that it ’ s easily accessible .
