RECOMMENDATIONS
Below are medical supply recommendations to begin building out your personal kits. Please evaluate these based on which options are most practical for your needs (it is not all-required nor all-encompassing).
In general, we highly recommend North American Rescue for medical supplies as many of their products are the industry gold-standard.
