Review on Convenient & Versatile: Jipemtra Portable Foldable Responder Backpack by David Everett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Lightweight, durable, good value for money

Just got back from a 70 mile hike in New Mexico. This trip was with 10 people over 12 days at Philmont Scout Ranch. As this was with Boy Scouts we had to carry a first aid kit large enough for the crew for the entire trip. The squad had a couple of first aid kits but the weight must have been an issue. I bought this first aid bag because of the size and weight. Then I put together what we needed to stay inside. I considered using only gallon ziplock bags but liked the fact that any member of our team or anyone else would easily identify this as first aid in an emergency. The interior of the bag has 2 large mesh pockets and a divider with several smaller pockets. There is a slight difference in the way they organize themselves. The divider pockets were mostly too small to be useful. Everything else just fits into the mesh pockets on either side. I recommend separating everything into separate, clearly labeled bags. If something happens, you can just pull out everything to find what you need. I split the pages. On one side there were mostly bandages and on the other side medicines, ointments and the like. It made things a little easier to find. Luckily we mostly used moleskin for blisters, but also used antiseptics and plasters for minor cuts. However, I felt very comfortable when, in an emergency, help could come within hours.

Pros
  • ❶The empty first aid bag is great for long or short stays. Fillable, durable, practical and light. Size: 25 x 18 x 8 cm
Cons
  • Not sure
