As you can see the Adventure 2.0 kit comes with a good amount of basic first aid supplies. The supplies are well organized and labeled. The scissors, The pouch is big enough that I was able to add QuikClot and tapeless bandage gauze's and still have a little more room for other items.

As you can see by the picture above, the Adventure 2.0 kit fits neatly in my 5.11 Covrt ZAP bag along with an iPad and a paperback book. You could easily place this kit under the seat of your vehicle, under the seat of your motorcycle etc.

Here is a look at the contents inside the Adventure 2.0 first aid kit. As you can see, everything is neatly organized and they included papers with helpful instructions.

Here is the kit loaded up with my Quik Clot and my every gauze's. There is more room in the bag for other stuff you may wanna include in your kit.


Things I Like:


Size: As I mentioned before. This kit is small and compact and works great for my EDC system. Whether it's in my EDC bag, in the Jeep it's not an inconvenience to carry.
Complexity: This kit comes with everything but the kitchen sink for my first aid needs.
Bag: I like that they built the bag a little oversized so you could add stuff if you choose to.
Documents: I like that they included documents for instructions on using some of the items and it helped with labeling.
Value: It was under $20 bucks shipped as I mentioned earlier. For what you get, I feel this is an outstanding deal.


Things I Disliked:


None... This first aid kit is awesome. I haven't found one thing I dislike about it. I would give this first aid kit a 10/10.

Thanks for the first aid kit review. I've always used their smaller kits for backpacking and day trips. More importantly, I think I may have saved a friends life with the same quick clot kit on a backcountry ski trip. He got a deep gash in an icy couloir fall, had serious bleeding, and that stopped the gushing in less than a minute. I never adventure without one now.
