"...I did not even have a bandage with me, let alone any useful first aid equipment for the field treatment of a fracture. On that long walk back to the ranch, my seven year old son bravely cradling his broken wrist in his hand, I promised myself I would not ever again venture into the wilderness unprepared."
--- Dr. Gil Preston, founder
Wilderness Medical Systems
Wilderness Medical Systems Kits were created and built to provide peace of mind when encountering a medical emergency, or even just a minor incident, far from home. Every detail of our wilderness first aid kits has been carefully considered. Featuring high quality components organized into clear, easy-to-use modules, the kits are packed into bags designed especially for us by Red Oxx for durability, ease of use and optimal access to contents. All kit contents are field tested for reliability. We update our kits frequently and include new, innovative and state-of-the-art components as soon as they are available. Our goal is simply to provide you with the highest quality wilderness medical kit we possibly can.

Our kits come in five different sizes - from individual to expedition - and they are designed around the following three criteria: 1)  Where you are going, 2)  Number of persons per trip, and 3)  Length of stay (in days) in the field. Click here to learn more and decide what kind of kit you need.

We build each kit to order and prioritize production by individual / expedition deadlines. Please advise us immediately if you have time constraints. Kits usually take from 3-10 days to build, depending on size.
