My Medic mini IFAK Kit Review

My Medic mini First Aid Kit Review

admin

The My Medic mini IFAK kit gives you roughly 75 essential items for an on hand medical kit. The range of supplies gives you the ability to do everything from deal with minor cuts and larger bleeding injuries, treat pain and stings, allergies and dehydration all the way up to large complex wounds and even keeping an airway clear. There are a range of thoughtful tools and even a glowstick and paracord. The molle pouch can be carried by shoulder strap or attached to a backpack as well. With a choice of pouch colors and the ability to ‘upgrade’ with extra medical kits ( such as the one I chose for hiking) and a QR code linked first aid guide you will be very hard pushed to spend $75 building your own IFAK and come even close to the value for money for this Mini IFAK.

This IFAK will suit trained EMTs and anyone that is looking for a first aid solution in the home, vehicle or out on the trails.

Injinji Liner Socks Review

Injinji Liner Socks Review

admin

The Injinji Performance Liner and main sock means you get this combo ‘straight out of the packet’ with two types of socks made for each other so the ankle and fit is perfect.. This combination means maximum cushioning for your feet with great wicking to keep feet dry and the double layer reduces friction which means you are less likely to get blisters. The individual toes on the ‘undersock’ also prevent the skin on your toes from rubbing together and the ‘outer/main’ sock is tailored to be slightly larger to fit perfectly over the liner sock. With the option to wear just the liner in the height of the Summer, both in Fall or Spring or their Merino wool option in the depths of winter you have a modular set up to help reduce blisters when you are out hiking or trail running for long periods at a time.

Trippy Outdoor Chair Review

Trippy Outdoors Chair Review

admin

The Trippy Outdoors chair is an all wooden camping chair that takes a few seconds to set up. It stows as a ‘mini surfboard’ shape with the leg section flush with the main part of the chair. By simply pushing the leg section through a slot the natural weight and gravity of the two parts hold it together. This comfortable camp chair is a perfect addition to your camping set up when stowing everything in your car and don’t travel far to your camp site. I also used the chair in my classroom and out on my decking at home when relaxing in the evening. Continue reading Trippy Outdoors Chair Review
