Millets also do a mountain leader first aid pack, it's something like £20 but it has everything you will need...


lew

you wont need one, its only there for the baptist run kit list, i have a little one in my webbing because it says you have to, but its totally useless and ive never used it.
In my bergan i carry; talc, betadine, scissors, elastoplast, paracetamol and brufen, used it a couple of times.
Thats all you need, if you hurt yourself the training team have a whole box of band aids for you, they may even kiss it better if you ask nicely.

20 quid on a 1st aid kit, your avin' a laugh mate

You can buy everything in Exeter btw, no point shipping all that crap down with you. You won't be expected to carry much of a med kit during phase 1 anyway, because you won't have finished your first aid course ....loads of brufen is always good though. Your troop will get issued LOADS of betadine spray, talc, disinfectant (we used to shower with it, until they told it was extremely powerful and would burn the skin off ya with continued use lol), and rolls of the sticky tape thing..can't remember name now.

Everything on that list you'll be able to get either in the NAAFI, PRI, or in exeter and they'll all be cheaper there (forces discount).

the tape is "zinc tape" white and very adhesive and sorts things like sprains, blisters and bergen rub out.
Just remove and replace every night after a good dhobi or you´ll be in a whole new world of pain when it comes to taking it off and your wounds have started to heal and knit into the tape.
Ouch!!
