First Impressions

This compact adequately equipped First Aid Kit from Trakker is a must for any angler who spends time out on the bank on their own in rural out of the way areas. There are the basics you will require to stop most cuts bleeding and keep the wounds clean, which will prevent infection.

We spoke to St Johns ambulance training instructor who told us; “this is a very good starter kit that will cover most situations whilst you are out and about in rural environments. To make it just that little bit more practical I would add some Saline solution which is basically a salt water solution for cleaning wounds, removing debris from eyes etc and burn dressings, these are both readily available from any good chemist”

WARNING Just because you have a First Aid Kit doesn’t instantly make you Florence Nightingale. If the situation arises where somebody near you needs medical assistance for what could potentially be a serious injury. Unless you are fully trained or an experienced First Aider, then use the best form of first aid there is, your mobile phone and call the emergency services and get professional help rather than risk causing more damage than good.
