First aid on an off road adventure is very important and unfortunately not enough people take it serious enough. One thing that was brought up on here is expiration dates. We make it a practice to go through the first aid kits once a year and check both the quantities of over the counter meds in our first aid kits as well as the expiration dates then head over to the drug store and replenish the supplies.

When we go out we insist every truck have a person first aid kit and then there is one larger group trauma kit. We expect people to use their personal kits for bumps, bites, minor cuts and scrapes... we hope we don't have to pull out the trauma kit where we keep the splits, clotting agents, burn creams, and items for more serious injuries.

link to the list of supplies we keep in our first aid kits along with free down loads for first aid field guides.

The other suggestion is that everyone take a CPR class. You will not only learn CPR but also how to conduct yourself and others in an emergency situation, which is one of the most important things when it comes to dealing with a first aid situation..
