What comes in the Preserver Personal Protector Kit?

Three 3/4" x 3" adhesive bandages, one triple-antibiotic ointment packet, one packet with two buffered aspirin, and one antiseptic wipe, all in a waterproof case with a safety-lock lid.

Is the case really waterproof?

The safety-lock lid is designed to seal the contents against water, which is the main reason to pick it over a soft pouch. Keep the lid latched after use.

Can I attach it to a backpack?

Yes. An adjustable nylon strap is attached to the case, so it can hang from a pack, belt or handlebar bag.

Is it enough for a day hike?

For minor cuts and scrapes, yes. It has no gauze, tape, gloves or blister care, so add those if you expect longer trips or rougher terrain.

Who should not take the included aspirin?

People with aspirin allergy, bleeding disorders, or children and teens recovering from viral illness should skip it. Pack a different pain reliever if that applies.

How does it compare with a larger first aid kit?

It is far smaller and waterproof, but carries a fraction of the supplies. A larger kit stays in the car or base camp; this one goes in the pocket or on the strap.
