Survival items/ kits

[Farmboy]

We are working to provide a few more items on the survival side of things so people can assemble their own kits.

Are there items you'd like to be able to get that you have trouble finding?

We've added a few items already like snare wire, gorge hooks, fishing spear etc.

They can be found here on the website.

Let me know what else we should be providing.

Just got in some waterproof plastic viles that fit the basics perfectly.

These are up on the new products page.

Gamma Seal lids, the canoe barrels. Any other effective means to keep stuff dry. Medical stuff, shears, splints, rescue masks.

 

[Farmboy]

We do stock shears and tourniquets.

I'll check out the other stuff

 

[Farmboy]

More items back in stock.

 

[Farmboy]

Any other gear that you guys are looking for?

Mora Eldris are great for a kit, everyone I know loves them, seem to sell out everywhere that handles them. Might want to check them out.

Wildersol fire pistons would be great! Hard to find anywhere and a great way to start a fire under any conditions. w ww.wildersol.com

 

[Farmboy]

Working on a few things, stay tuned!!

Always looking for cheap CAT TQ under $40 a piece. Work as an EMT and nothing else is as proven as they are. By reviewed research papers or by anecdotal evidence

your website (shopify) is down again. Can I buy items over the phone?
Tomorrow perhaps?

 

[Farmboy]

Fixed. Back up and running.

Closed tomorrow, but open again on Tuesday

I've been looking for a reasonable source of the Dermabond mini glue caps. They are a excellent addition to every kit but hard as heck to source.

These are a huge game changer when you need a easy stitch or two. Maybe seal up a little slice while you're in the bush for a few.

Dermabond mini glue caps

+1 also

Any luck with those Dermabond minis?
I choked when I saw the price of a case retail. Perhaps selling them in pairs will make it viable?

I was curious about this as I am currently in the process of re-evaluating the items in my med kit. On the Ethicon page for Dermabond, it shows that it is composed of 2-octylcyanoacrylate.

Dude, it's Crazy Glue. Even Loctite makes the stuff:

It's way better than crazy glue, and comes in a purpose built mini dispensing tube and is stable for a few years. Yes I agree, same glue, much higher quality.

Well, I'm a cheap SOB so I'll stick with the $6 Krazy Glue that also comes in a mini-dispensing tube

Edit: Here's a good article that makes a few good points for Dermabond over Krazy Glue:

Id like to see a ready made kit put together with all of the above suggestions and items listed on your original post. Plus some general 1st aid stuff. All in a nice bag.Theyd likely sell very well. Like a $200 grab and go.

Sure, I see where you are coming from.
Dermabond is a far better product. I have used both. No comparison, they are not the same.
Google all the info up you want, Dude. lol My personal experience of the product is what makes me ask for it.
