First Aid kit

[EdS]

not so much as the kit but some thing to put it in.

Does anyone know if you can get a bag/holder like the Gregsons 1 but empty?
Also does anywhere still do Gregsons?

Not knowing what the Gregsons one is like, I can recommend SP services for all medical supplies. Look under "Belt/Pouches" and they may have what you want.

Cheers,

Martin

You may wish to have a look at a recent thread that covered all aspects of FAK contents and containers: FAK thread

this Looks like it would make a good pouch

If you want something tough and fixed to you maxpedition is the best but costs a lot

Eds,

In answer to your original question...yes I believe you can still get them, try this link:

http://www.adventurekit.co.uk/acatalog/Medical_Kit.html

You need to scroll down a little bit... it's the delux kit you want to go for...5 compartments that all fold into one roughly 5" square pack.

I've had a Gregson pack for years, they are a top bit of kit and I never go away for a weekend or longer without it. I don't think there's much of the original items in it anymore but I re-stock it with the same items when I use them.

You can get an identical one to the Gregsons made by Highlander, that's about half the price. I carry that in my possibles pouch, and http://mountainwarehouse.co.uk/shop/product/products_id/417.html when I'm off for longer.

Are they totally waterproof like the Gregson ones Chris?

 

[arctic hobo]

The pack isn't but all the contents are in waterproof bags. I'll nick my flatmate's camera and get a pic up in a sec.

I have one of the multi pouches that Andy mentions and surprisingly you can fit a complete st John kit in there:

All neatly laid out and in compartments

Here we are:

It's been very very wet before and stayed quite dry. Has all you need for minor injuries, has served me well. I also pack a roll of insulation tape to save my feet when walking.

That looks like a pretty darn good bit of kit for just over a tenner! Nice one Chris :biggthump

Think I'll go for this one:

http://www.surplusandoutdoors.com/ishop/877/shopscr1529.html

It a smaller than the one I've got at the moment, better for day trip. I'll then get a larger bag from some where for the main bits at home.

I want one with several pockets a hate having to take everythin out to get a what I want.

 

[EdS]

can anyone get the St Johns supplies web site to work? It just seems to sit there doing nothing for me.

Guys it could well be me but I can only see 2 or 3 of the 7 links posted in this thread :?: Andy, Bystander, and Eds could you check your links. Thanks and if it is me being daft then sorry.

EDIT* Eds already noticed, sorry *EDIT
