Features:

• Perfect blend of survival and first aid

As the name suggests, Surviveware is one of the most trusted names in the first aid and emergency preparation sectors. The brand’s survival first aid kit is designed with both survival and medical situations in mind, so it really ticks all the boxes when it comes to deciding what the best survival medkit is.

Survival kits are mandatory if you want to be prepared for any emergency, remembering that even a blister can turn nasty if left untended. The Surviveware survival medkit is suitable for any medium sized party (think 2 to 5 people), and includes everything you need from a minor cut to a major injury like a broken limb.

It also includes a range of survival tools in case you end up in an emergency that isn’t strictly medical. This hybrid first aid and survival kit contains a knife, a multi-tool, glow sticks, a poncho,  a signalling mirror, a wire saw, a paracord bracelet, and a small tactical flashlight. They’ve clearly thought carefully about what is essential (and what’s not) because that list of survival items pretty much matches up with what we’d recommend the average person carry with them in an emergency survival kit.

Don’t think that the survival aspect of this kit diminishes the medical supplies. The medical gear in this first aid kit is also excellent – they’ve included all the essentials and left out the fluff. You’ve got most of what you’d need to handle a variety of challenging injuries/medical situations.

The whole thing is also excellently organized and well put together, meaning that in a genuine emergency, when push comes to shove, you’ll be able to grab what you need quickly without needing to fumble around looking for stuff. In emergencies, saving time can save lives, and the design of this survival medkit reflects that.

If most of your trips outdoors are with a small to medium group (2-5) of friends or family, or if your family survival plan would involves 2-5people, then the Surviveware Survival First Aid Kit is for you. If your party is larger than 5, we’d recommend their Large First Aid Kit, simply because it contains more of everything and is more suitable for a larger group (but without the focus on the survival side of things).
