FIRST AID KIT CHECK LIST - Ross Brealey
When Ross isn't driving his FSJ or his Grand Chero, he's
driving an Ambulance. This is really good advice from someone who really does know
what we should take with us !! - Rod
I am reading the list and find many people carry a "first aid kit" in their
must have items.
How many people really know WHAT should be in it?
The following list is one that I have <carefully> compiled over many years and is
the recommended list to carry for any one doing the "Four Wheelers First Aid"
course - as recommended by the V.A.F.W.D.C. for instructors and all VAFWDC members.
Sorry - Victorian Assc. Four Whel Drive Clubs = VAFWDC

All items listed are available for replacement over the counter and where brand names
are used, be advised that there are similar items that will perform a similar function.
Items listed (opt) are optional inclusions. Both kits are suggestions and can
be modified to suit your own requirements, preferences or available space.
Be aware of that special circumstance. Like recovery gear, it’s better to carry
more, than less equipment that's needed.
